Well, this is embarrassing. Marjorie Taylor Greene tries to push Russian propaganda about Ukrainian nazis, and is completely shut down by Holocaust Historian and the Leading Scholar on Ukrainian Nationalism in America, Dr. Snyder.

Thousands of people are ditching Tesla. Here’s one of them with a message you can see from space. Location: Black Rock Sands, Wales, UK Led By Donkeys is 100% funded by small donations.

Canada is an Arctic nation — and we can never take our Northern sovereignty and security for granted. That’s why meeting with Premier Akeeagok in Iqaluit was a priority for my first week in office. Together, we’re going to build the economy across the region — with more homes,

The Russian Ruble is up 20% this year, which means financial stress on Putin's war machine is rapidly easing. This cannot be the goal of Western policy. Europe can - even without the US - stop this. Russia comes tumbling down if the EU shuts down the shadow fleet in the Baltic...

We're building a comprehensive database on where Russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers came from. Since end-2021, we track a rise in 250 vessels, of which 100 came from Greece (blue) and the rest of Europe (red). These sales continue to this day. Europe is its own worst enemy...

BREAKING: People are allegedly being suspended on X in Turkey for posting videos of these protests against Erdoğan’s corrupt and repressive regime. Keep sharing everywhere.

BREAKING: Senator Jon Ossoff just delivered one of the strongest and succinct rebukes we’ve seen of the chaos, incompetence and greed that has defined Trump’s presidency. Retweet so all Americans hear this message.

An overused term on social media, but Munira Wilson 🇺🇦 SCHOOLS Lord Frost on #Brexit here - and it is glorious! DF: "Anyone can come up with anecdotes." MW: "These are not anecdotes, but cold hard facts. Your Brexit is damaging our economy that your gov't left on its knees." ~AA

From 🇩🇰 PM Mette Frederiksen’s Facebook post for 15 min. ago; I would like to take this opportunity to send a message directly to the United States of America 🇺🇸 The US is a big country. Denmark is a small one. We have looked up to you. And you have inspired us. Because –

The UK needs to integrate with the EU fast along with Canada to create a sane economic bloc - and then launch a big reflationary economic package . And do it fast - really fast. The world needs leadership.

The EU in Jan. '25 paid Russia €1.9 bn for gas imports. Brussels is so excited to fight with the US over tariffs because this is a welcome distraction from the mess that's really going on in the EU. How can you keep paying Putin all this money 3 years after he invaded Ukraine?

Russia is in real trouble. Western sanctions have cut daily seaborne oil exports from 4 million barrels per day in January 2025 to 3 million now. This is before UK and EU sanctions - announced this month - have even fully hit. Putin's money machine is under real pressure now...

Proving again that sanctions work – the lifeline of Russia's war machine is now exporting -25% less oil than just 4 months ago. With UK and EU sanctions soon to hit, we expect this to fall further. Chart compiled by Robin Brooks

The US, EU and UK sanctioned a huge number of shadow fleet oil tankers in January. You can see how those sanctions impact oil tanker traffic out of Russia's Baltic ports. US and EU sanctioned ships shut down. UK sanctions don't have much impact. Unsanctioned vessels get busier...

Western sanctions are crushing Russia' shadow fleet. US sanctions (red) are by far the most effective at shutting down the shadow fleet. But when the EU and UK sanction together (orange), those sanctions also pack a punch. Putin's money machine is finally getting shut down. Good!

The West has been far too timid in confronting Russia. Much of the blame for that goes to the EU, which chose to protect Greek shipping oligarchs over its own citizens. But sanctions on Russia's oil tankers are now picking up and pack a punch. My substack: robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/putin-is-abo…

As the UK Covid-19 Inquiry Test, Trace, and Isolate Module comes to a close today, here is a look at some of the shocking evidence we have heard so far. A Thread 🧵 1/12

The inquiry heard from Dido Harding that the Government ‘slowed down’ its Covid response in the summer of 2020, because "they wanted to believe that Covid was over" 80% of Covid deaths have occured after that slow down. 8/12

"This is how government works" Asked about the Government's reliance on consultants during the pandemic, Lord Bethell gives a revealing answer. Delloitte secured contracts worth £298 million for its role in Testing, with senior consultants earning up to £6,624 daily. 9/12

Which is why our Member, Prof. Naomi Fulop, urged the Chair to call Minister Pat McFadden in to give evidence. The Inquiry must hear why the Government has so far failed to properly respond to Module 1 recommendations. Warning lights are flashing. 12/12
