Our take on Mark Rutte, Macron, and Nitish Kumar — in 50 words
US designating TRF as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation is a sharp rebuke to Pakistan This week, the United States designated TRF as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation, NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte threatened to impose 100 per cent secondary sanctions on countries trading with Russia, and President Emmanuel Macron promised to double France's defence budget by 2027. Read our 50-word editorials on them and much more. Nitish Kumar's free electricity promise shows pre-poll desperation. It's for political survival 17 July Self-reliance in defence technology has advantages. But India lacks ecosystem to back it Mark Rutte is a 2025 sequel to The Mouse That Roared 16 July TDP's suggestions on SIR are based on sound logic. ECI must listen to it Growing representation of women in civil services is heartening, but far from ideal 15 July Macron doubling France's defence budget reflects a new world disorder fuelled by Trumpism Maharashtra govt must focus on governance, not squander its mandate Indian streets are pure pandemonium.

I feel so bad for kids nowadays. I mean, I'm not surprised they feel this way. Jesus. We live in the Bad Place. Oh, cool, this doesn't sound dystopian at all! As if Palantir wasn't a scary enough company without reminding you that it's watching with this massive ad. ...Yeah, not really feeling like this is a r/MadeMeSmile situation. It should not have cost $41k to begin with. And it should not take two decades to pay off student loans. We shouldn't have to donate plasma from our bodies to afford books for school. College already costs an arm and a leg, and then they charge prices like this just to access course materials. This is not the heartwarming story it's framed as. Neither is this. One of the things I hate most about Trumpism is that he's given every misogynistic, xenophobic, racist asshole permission to be a massive misogynistic, xenophobic, racist asshole in public. I heard this ad recently in a taxi. For reference, over 90% of NYC taxi drivers were born outside the US, as of 2020. "No one wants to work anymore" for a reason, it seems. want to work. But they're not even getting past the door. Remind me again why people who work part-time (who, btw, are also probably working another job or in school), can't have time off? The fact that police violence is so bad that this needs to exist is pretty damning. Can AI help make the world a better place? Maybe one day.

I feel like there's an easier way to protect kids from death via gunshot wound ( gun laws?), but okay. This is the state of American healthcare. As is this. Imagine denying someone a CANE. In case you need a more damning indictment of American healthcare, here ya go. We wouldn't need to have cards to remind ICE and law enforcement agents of our rights if they weren't trying to violate those rights. This is concerning as hell. "I never thought Leopards would eat MY face!!!!" And yet this is what rural states voted for. The fact that this question is even being landlords deserve jail time. Oh man, we are so, so cooked. Sounds about right for America. Cool, glad investors can benefit from this. Well, as long as the investors are good! Is this legal? Why are younger people paid less for the same work? This is where we're at now. This is why people can't buy homes. What happens when we all get priced out of any housing at all? Yep, that pretty much sums it up. The whole internet's full of paywalls. Since most people get their news from the all pretty much screwed. Remember when we fought a war so that we wouldn't have a king? Look how far we've fallen. This is horrifying.

Democrats Are Failing to Adapt to Trump's New World
Democrats and legacy media outlets are failing to meet the urgency of the current moment, leaving it to independent media to pick up the slack. That's where Brian Tyler Cohen comes in. A political commentator with 4.5 million subscribers on YouTube, Cohen sat down with The Daily Beast Podcast host and Chief Creative and Content Officer Joanna Coles to discuss the role independent media outlets and commentators can play in a new ecosystem where the old rules no longer apply. Cohen began covering the Trump administration during Trump's first term, and quickly realized there was a gap in the market for left-wing video content. As he explains, 'I had some experience in front of the camera, so I figured if I'm only getting served right-wing content, I'm just gonna start making this content on my own and putting it out there and see how it does.' Now, working for himself means that he has full autonomy, which has allowed him to grow his platform and become one of the most popular progressive personalities on YouTube. This independence has also enabled him to try and meet the current moment with the urgency it requires, something Cohen feels both establishment Democrats and legacy media have failed to do. 'I wish that the people who hid behind slogans like 'Democracy dies in darkness' were able to meet the urgency of this moment and to recognize that, okay, if democracy is gonna die in darkness, then it's everybody in the media's responsibility to actually call out what's happening,' Cohen told Coles. 'Democracy dies in darkness' is the slogan of the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post. In February, Bezos announced that the Post's opinion pages would shift to focusing on 'personal liberties and free markets,' and just this week, reports emerged that Bezos was attempting to capitalize on President Donald Trump's falling out with Tesla CEO Elon Musk in an attempt to secure more government contracts for his space tech company, Blue Origin. Cohen argues that legacy media outlets have continued to use the same playbooks as they have in the past to respond to Trump's second term, which doesn't work, 'because we're in a different moment. And it requires fighting in a different way than we have fought before.' 'Republicans get that. They get how to adapt to this moment, how to adapt to the Trumpism of it all, and how to fight with everything they've got, because they know that their goal at the end of this is to consolidate power for themselves,' Cohen explains. Unfortunately, 'the left and the media doesn't seem to get it. We seem to be stuck in this idea that we can usher in some bygone era of bipartisanship or compromise, and we're just not there anymore,' he argues. In doing this, they're not only failing to meet the moment, but 'actually giving a green light to the worst actors in government to know that we're just not able to do what needs to be done to confront them.' There's an asymmetry in how Republicans and Democrats use the media, Cohen argues: Democrats continue to rely on legacy media outlets like MSNBC, CNN, and The New York Times, while Republicans realized they 'weren't getting what they needed from liberal media,' and began creating their own outlets instead: Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, The Daily Wire, as well as personalities like Alex Jones, to name a few. As a result, Democrats are now 'sprinting from behind to try and create parity,' but having only recently realized the problem exists, it's now 'a matter of whether we're going to be able to have the tools to fight back and build up our presence where people actually are getting their news.' In addition to the role independent left-wing media can play going forward, Cohen is also hopeful about potential challengers to Trump who are emerging in the Democratic Party, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Maryland Governor Wes Moore. Cohen says that these men, particularly Newsom and Buttigieg, 'know how to get into uncomfortable spaces,' with Newsom having already established a reputation as a fighter eager to tackle Republicans head-on. Buttigieg, meanwhile, 'is probably the best-spoken politician that we have,' and while Moore is largely unknown, that could work in his favor, alongside his natural charisma. Cohen also sees Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as the future of the party, and believes that Democrats 'should be elevating her every chance we get.' As for whether the U.S. will make it to 2028 with its democracy intact, Cohen believes, 'if we have Democrats who are willing to fight with everything they've got and not kind of defer to this bygone era of our friends on the other side of the aisle, if we have people who are truly looking to exercise the full strength of the party, the courts, the law, whatever we have at our disposal, then I think there is a world in which we can stave off what I believe is an inevitable onslaught by Republicans.'
