  • Trump’s chief of staff acknowledges ‘score settling’ behind prosecutions of political rivals: ‘He will go for it’ – live

    ‘In some cases, it may look like retribution,’ Susie Wiles says in a wide-ranging interview with Vanity FairWiles also said she had told Donald Trump that his second term was not supposed to be a retribution tour.“We have a loose agreement that the score settling will end before the first 90 days are over,” she said in an interview in March.I mean, people could think it does look vindictive. I can’t tell you why you shouldn’t think that.I don’t think he [Trump] wakes up thinking about retribution. But when there’s an opportunity, he will go for it.Some clinical psychologist that knows one million times more than I do will dispute what I’m going to say. But high-functioning alcoholics or alcoholics in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink. And so I’m a little bit of an expert in big personalities. Continue reading...

  • Trump’s cannabis reform would revolutionise US policy. Just don’t expect the ‘war on drugs’ to end | Kojo Koram

    Rescheduling marijuana might seem an unlikely move for a Republican president – but it perfectly coheres with his ‘America First’ worldviewFor decades, the issue of cannabis reform was firmly viewed as a leftist pipe dream. To most conservatives, particularly US Republicans, legalising weed was as realistic as nuclear disarmament, or abolishing national borders.Think of the phrase “war on drugs” and the first people that probably come to mind are Republican presidents Nixon, Reagan and George HW and George W Bush. Although the clampdown reached its harshest levels during the presidency of Mr “I didn’t inhale” Bill Clinton, it always seemed as if the GOP owned the position of being “tough on drugs”. As recently as 2023, Mitch McConnell, then Senate Republican leader, reaffirmed this reputation by stating that: “Democrats are struggling with the basics. This should not be this hard. Drugs belong off our streets.”Dr Kojo Koram is professor of law and political economy at Loughborough University, and writes on issues of law, race and empire. He is the author of Uncommon Wealth: Britain and the Aftermath of Empire Continue reading...

  • I spent a month trying to smile like Zohran Mamdani – it’s no easy feat | Arwa Mahdawi

    While the New York mayor-elect is constantly smiling in the face of his detractors, having a perma-grin didn’t come so easily to meAs a big fan of citizen science, I have spent the past month conducting a very important experiment. While I am not quite as hardcore as the American virologist Jonas Salk, who injected the polio vaccine into himself and his family before large-scale trials, this scientific inquiry has involved some personal pain. You see, I have spent the last month trying to smile like Zohran Mamdani. This is not, as I have discovered, an easy feat.Ever since the incoming mayor of New York became a household name, I’ve been intrigued by his perma-smile. His detractors call him a “jihadist”, and he smiles. He meets Donald Trump, and he smiles. Some Republican lawmakers launch a campaign to investigate his path to citizenship and deport him? He keeps on smiling. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him look angry. Continue reading...
