1 week ago Supreme court chief justice says Trump call for judge’s impeachment ‘not an appropriate response’ – live

John Roberts issues rare public statement after US president escalates rightwing attacks on the judiciary White House’s defense for not recalling deportations ‘one heck of a stretch’, says judgeDonald Trump has called for the impeachment of the judge handling lawsuits over his administration’s deportation of suspected Venezuelan gang members, a significant escalation of rightwing attacks on the judiciary.While allies of the president such as Elon Musk have repeatedly said judges who rule against him should be impeached, this appears to be the first time the president has backed such calls publicly. Trump’s post on Truth Social does not name the judge, but seems to reference James Boasberg, the Washington DC-based justice who was appointed by Barack Obama and attempted to prevent the government from deporting the alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. Here’s what Trump wrote:This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack...

2 w. ago Ukraine war live: Putin response to peace plan ‘not good enough’, says UK, as international militaries prepare to meet in London

Representatives from numerous international militaries will meet in London on Thursday, says UK prime ministerFew resonant phrases are repeated in politics without a deliberate reason, and Keir Starmer’s use of “coalition of the willing” could well have been intended as a reminder to the US diplomatic and defence community: we helped you out; now return the favour.The most famous, or infamous, coalition of the willing was the 30 nations who publicly gave at least some support to George W Bush’s US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.Absolutely we are not against sending Italian troops to help a population, but I think at this moment probably there are no troops that are able to solve the problem in Ukraine.We can only send troops if there is a clear UN mandate and for now, this is impossible.”I think it is too early and we have to wait for it. After a decision from UN headquarters, there is no problem for Italy, but now it’s really, really too early for us.” Continue reading...
