Baroness Walmsley raises serious concerns in the @houseoflords.parliament.uk about the government’s alcohol licensing reforms - led by industry, with no health representation. She calls out the plan to prioritise “growth” over health and local democracy. hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2025-1...

Having an 'economic growth objective' would be in total contradiction to the purpose of alcohol licensing, which is about public protection. Listen to our podcast on the huge issues with the proposed reforms here: www.ias.org.uk/podcast/gove... 🎙️

.@cheetah.bsky.social: Don't look, and definitely don't jinx it but Congress just might be showing signs of growing a spine. Republicans decided to call it quits after a series of bills and amendments, including one to fund the ballroom and another that would give money to January 6th-ers.

New NYT reporting shows Iran and Oman are in talks to charge ships for passage through the Strait of Hormuz—suggesting U.S.-Iran negotiations are nowhere near conclusion despite what the White House has claimed.

More bad news from Trump’s economy. At 3.8%, inflation is at its highest level in ~3 years. Republicans need to start working with Dems to put an end to Trump’s inflation-fueling war in Iran & start lowering costs for working families.

Israel continues to attack Lebanon despite Trump claiming Monday that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to stop fighting. “What happened yesterday was in no means a ceasefire,” says Beirut-based journalist @chehayebk.bsky.social.

Rep. Jimmy Patronis why he supports Blanche being nominated to be permanent attorney general: "He's been steadfast and loyal to the president. The president needs somebody he can trust, and Todd has shown he can be counted on."
