Anne Applebaum is the most insightful pundit/historian on the current plight of American politics allied to Trump speeding towards autocracy.
Applebaum will poleaxe you with her grasp and perception of Trump’s America.

This post and the comments it attracts spreads hate towards our police force. Whatever faults our police may have they are still amongst the best in the world.
This, for me, is a terrible look for British policing.
It comes across as highly undisciplined and unprofessional.
The British public pay police officers to uphold the law, maintain order and keep our streets safe.
Not to dance around whilst on duty.
Surely we should expect much higher standards from those entrusted with policing our country?

Our NHS has been hollowed out over the last few decades. Thank you, @premnsikka, for speaking out
The UK has 2.4 NHS beds PER 1,000 people
Japan: 12.6
Germany: 7.7
Austria: 6.6
France: 5.4
OECD average: 4.2
This is why we have the disgrace of corridor care. It's time to invest and rebuild our NHS

BREAKING NEWS: Billionaire Sir Richard Branson launches a SCATHING attack on Trump and his disgusting coziness with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that gets under Trump’s skin...
"I never thought I’d have to say this in my lifetime, but it’s 2026, and unfortunately, nothing is the way it used to be," wrote Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, on LinkedIn. "The Trump administration has become an enabler of autocrats and dictators, placing their personal whims ahead of the interests of the American people and the free world. What is it about Putin that makes President Trump fawn over him?"
"How can America’s allies ever trust this administration again, when it is now turning against them in a time of war and suffering?" he asked.
Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a shocking deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel onto global markets—a move that will inject cash directly into the Russian war machine. Then, he launched a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy, claiming that Putin is "easier to deal with."
The betrayals escalated when Washington failed to provide its customary early warning to Kyiv regarding an imminent Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears the White House has ordered a temporary suspension of Starshield—a military version of Elon Musk’s Starlink, upon which the Ukrainian armed forces rely.
"The throttling of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable failure to provide advance warning of Russian missile launches have already led to the needless deaths of Ukrainian civilians," Branson wrote. "How much worse can it get?" "If one thing is clear, it’s that European leaders must move past the initial shock of Trump’s recent actions and step up. This is as much about European freedom as it is about Ukraine’s sovereignty. Both are worth fighting for," he continued. "Every option should now be on the table—from transferring frozen Russian assets to Ukraine, to delivering advanced weapons systems like the German Taurus."
"Why, oh why, is this happening? We cannot allow the free world to be dismantled before our very eyes," Branson concluded.
We couldn’t agree more. Trump is an enemy of Ukraine, an enemy of democracy, and an enemy of the American people. When the Democrats regain power, we will have a major task ahead of us. Every trace of this monstrous man’s legacy must be erased.
Please ❤️ and share if you think Trump is Putin’s puppet!
Sleepy Trump shows that he is obviously running scared as exemplified in his fatuous post…
