It’s G7 season!
And a good write up by AP journalists (the hypothesis of an intentional and concerted “debt trap diplomacy” is seen as less and less probable):

Things are happening in Belgorod
This is a huge victory, the conservationists of Victoria have fought this sort of shit for years.
Target’s a Target.
It’s on. May neither man win.
It is kinda funny, though, that someone named De Santis stands a chance of being the 47th President.
The space ended up being a disaster, and Trump mocked him ruthlessly on Truth Social. Not a good start.
Biden also got in a few good shots in the wake of this capsizing. This was so pathetic, they couldn’t even get out their provably untrue rhetoric. Loved it.

That’s a big one. Almost the full sentence allowed, I think, for an act of insurrection/treason that doesn’t involve a death sentence. This bodes very ill for Trump and some others who helped him. Ordinarily I’d be inclined to think those in positions of power or were in previous administrations/congress would not be punished as severely as a guy like this, but since the crux of the DOJ’s case is going to be that Trump was at the heart of all this and others helping him were the closest satellites, there’s actually a decent chance of some very heavy sentences.
Alberta is having an election in 4 days. They can choose between sensible ex-premier Rachel Notley or female Donald Trump, Danielle Smith, maybe the most extremist pol I’ve seen in this country ever
The Texas House has impeached Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, triggering an immediate suspension of duties. The articles include charges of bribery and abuse of public trust. Which just sounds like standard operating procedure for Republicans to me.
It’s also come out that he had a mistress that he tried to get one of his donors to hire for a job in Austin so he wouldn’t have to travel to visit her. Paxton’s wife is on the Texas senate. This should be very interesting indeed.

Erdogan has officially won the runoff.
Hell yeah
Taliban has attacked Iranian border posts.
It is going to be free to go there soon enough.
Every time, Alberta. Never fails to disappoint the rest of the country.
The EU will be joined with the US on the drafting of this code of conduct.
