Who will be the first to take off their shoes?
Across Washington, D.C., a new fashion trend has taken hold of those in Trump’s circle: embarrassingly oversized clown shoes.
Trump’s shoe test borders on humiliation ritual. They appear much too big on most of the recipients, and with their pants hemmed to match the president’s absurdly short length, it’s comical. One might assume that Trump purchases the incorrect sizes on purpose. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/who-...

calling Netanyahu a war criminal is NOT anti-Semitic

If Congress wasn’t consulted to get us into this war- how is Congress going to get us out of it? That’s a real question.

Mr Laimonas Jakstys
Mr Jakstys was aware from the proceedings before me in the morning of the 19 January 2026, that he would be going into the witness box to be cross examined at 13.30. I adjourned early that morning and started earlier in the afternoon so that Mr Jakstys would start in the witness box and be sworn in at 13.30. The video link was running at this time and throughout the first day.
Mr Jakstys gave his evidence through an interpreter. Right at the start of his cross examination, he seemed to pause quite a bit before replying to the questions being asked. These questions were interpreted and then there was a pause before there was a reply. After several questions, Ms Walker then informed me that she could hear an interference coming from around Mr Jakstys and akse dif Mr Jakstys could take his glasses off for a period as she was aware smart glasses existsed. The interpreter, who was sitting in the witness box alongside Mr Jakstys confirmed to the court that she could also hear the interference coming from around Mr Jakstys. It was later ascertained that Mr Jakstys was wearing smart glasses. I asked him to remove them before continuing with his cross examination. After a few further questions, when the interpreter was in the process of translating a question, Mr Jakstys' mobile phone started broadcasting out loud with the voice of someone talking. There was clearly someone on the mobile phone talking to Mr Jakstys. He then removed his mobile phone from his inner jacket pocket. At my direction, the smart glasses and his mobile were placed into the hands of his solicitor.
I asked both counsel to deal with this issue at the end of that day's evidence being given by Mr Jakstys. When Counsel inspected the smart glasses at the end of the first day's hearing, they connected to Mr Jackstys' phone when they were switched on. In the morning of the second day, I directed that the video link was to be switched off.

These paragraphs from the "smart glasses" case are for the ages.

100,000 join national strike against austerity in Belgium : Peoples Dispatch
Belgian unions and progressive movements marked one year of resistance to De Wever government with 100,000-strong demo and national strike.
“Our main messages today are: first, ‘stop the pension malus,’ because it’s a punishment that will affect people who can’t work until age 67,” Selena Carbonero Fernandez, general secretary of the trade union confederation FGTB-ABVV, told local media ahead of the action.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Ethics adviser rejects Tory call for inquiry into PM over Mandelson appointment
Sir Laurie Magnus said the relevant process appeared to have been followed when Lord Mandelson was made ambassador.
Oh. Due process followed perfectly. The Tory politicians & client journalists lying desperately about all this were, of course, cheering & chuckling away when *two* of Boris Johnson’s ethics advisers resigned in disgust at his staggering contempt for ethics.
