What kind of insane country allows a 17 year old boy to own a semi-automatic assault rifle and parade it through the streets before using it on other people. Utterly deranged. https://t.co/RAEHpBwPm4

You want to “protect a gas station”? You want peace? Get police officers to stop detaining Black citizens by pumping bullets into them. And if you know a better way to do that than de-funding police forces, we’re all ears.

Today Jeff Bezos's net worth hit $200 billion and Elon Musk's hit $100 billion.

Yet 30 million Americans report that their households didn't have enough food in the past week.

American capitalism is off the rails.

Regarding who Ireland could nominate as new Commissioner, according to well-placed analysis govt has two choices.
1) Nominate a high profile politician, in which case Ireland will lose trade portfolio. 2) Choose someone with a more technical background, who could keep the brief.

So, in recent months, the Perm Secs at the Foreign Office, Home Office, Dept of Education and the head of the Cabinet office have all been forced out of their jobs. Must be doing wonders for morale at the top of the civil service. A bit like being one of Stalin's generals…
