Fantastic graphic from the WSJ. Trump just increased the price of a iPhone by nearly 60 percent. Obviously completely unsustainable so won’t be sustained. An American Liz Truss moment

Fireworks burst beyond my window, their festive clamor scraping old wounds. In Ukraine, carols are drowned by explosions. This photo from Kryvyi Rih shows a Christmas tree under ruins. The world wraps itself in tinsel and cheer. I sit in its shadow, waiting for a miracle.

For over 14 years (and some of these things long before), #Syrians were barrel bombed, tortured, displaced, drowning at sea, starving to death. They have lived through horrors that none of us could put into words properly. There is absolutely fear over what next. But this is a moment of release.

Quick map of rebel advances of today across western #Aleppo as of 19:30 local time, based on geolocated footage. It's likely rebel forces have already gained more ground then depicted here, but this map is based on all the gains that have been confirmed so far. #Syria.

Note to reporters, editors and headline writers working on Russia and Ukraine: the ATACMS is a short-range (tactical) missile, not a long-range missile. This consistent error generates a misleading impression and should be corrected.
