The author wrote that China had shown no interest in a Ukraine summit involving Trump and Putin. They said Xi had told the German president that Europeans would need to take part in negotiations, as reports circulated about a possible three-way meeting in November. #China #UkraineSummit #Diplomacy #CN #UA #US #DE
The author argued that Europe’s political mainstream had spent two years calling for strategic autonomy and less reliance on US election results, but that concern about a possible Democratic sweep showed it had not fully embraced that position. https://t.co/2cbPk8aFZZ #Stratégie #Autonomie #PolitiqueEuropeenne #EU #US
The author wrote that Russia’s war against Ukraine had shown digital resilience was a matter of national survival, a lesson they highlighted in an opinion piece for NewsUkraineRBC ahead of the Tallinn Summit. They said Ukraine had demonstrated resilience by keeping essential services running under attack. #Ukraine #DigitalResilience #NationalSecurity #RU #UA
I am skeptical this will actually happen, but it is still noteworthy that a panicked Trump, knowing his party stands to lose the election badly, thinks it is politically advantageous to back away from an association with Israel. Shows how much opinions have changed in the past few years.
The author said a chart showed a diminishing capacity to manipulate the oil market. They wrote that algorithmic manipulation had worked from March to June, faded in June and July, and resurged in August and September amid what they called “tanker wars”. They said there was then no activity until an all-hands effort the day before the midterms.
The author accused Russia of disregarding international humanitarian law, saying two strikes had hit a humanitarian aid centre in Zaporizhzhia and a medical facility in Kharkiv. The author reported at least 29 people killed and 48 missing in Zaporizhzhia, and 62 injured in Kharkiv, and said those responsible should be held accountable. https://t.co/dPPDSg53y8 #HumanRights #InternationalLaw #Ukraine #RU #UA
The reaction to Shabana Mahmood's immigration 'reforms' shows exactly why this is such a dead-end for a Labour government. Lambasted by the right-wing press, hated by the left and ruinous for all those people actually affected by them. Pleasing nobody, whilst making everything worse
The post linked to a Reuters report saying a Federal Reserve survey had found that demand for business loans softened last quarter. https://t.co/KiKHsUnapb #BusinessLoans #Economy #Finance #US
A judge threw out a case Trumpers fabricated against respected law enforcement officers today, saying it can't "be described as anything other than weaponization." The debacle shows how Trump's destroyed the DOJ, and thus the agency's ability to defend Trump's own misconduct, as I discuss in PN.
Fact: 1.5°C was passed back in February or March of this year. This graphic shows the monthly global temperature anomalies above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline for every month from January, 1980 through October, 2026, along with a quadratic (accelerating) trendline.

NEW 🧵 on AI and productivity: Lots of people say this chart shows AI is now showing up in the productivity data. But I made the chart to argue the opposite: a trend that pre-dates AI + only shows up in the US doesn’t look like AI. Here’s how I’m thinking about the data and underlying dynamics:
The final NYT/Siena poll shows steady gains for the Democrats across the country.

Booommm 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Fiiiiiiiirrreeee 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Footage shows the aftermath of the Ukrainian attack on the Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez oil refinery in Kstovo, Russia.
Haley Stevens did nothing all campaign for Abdul El-Sayed except show up one time the day after the primary. Now she shows up the final weekend of the campaign to help GOP's Mike Rogers. Democrats should expel her from Democratic caucus.
Haley Stevens is more loyal to AIPAC, MAGA and corporate interests than she is to Democratic Party voters. She is a stain on the Democratic Party and shows the establishment wing of the party is not what they claim to be.

Alaska is so important for American power in the 21st century — a vast strategic asset that we poorly understand But Russia understands And recent Alaska news—the DOJ election lawsuit, the illicit gas deal—shows Trump helping Putin get a foothold in our Arctic www.greatpower.us/p/an-alaskan...
