🧐🤔YOU WANTED A WALL, TRUMP? YOU’LL HAVE ONE. Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, responded to Trump’s threats: “So you voted to build a wall. Well then, dear Americans — even if geography isn’t your strong suit, and you see America as a country rather than a continent — you should know that on the other side of that wall stand 7 billion people. And if the word ‘people’ doesn’t resonate with you, let’s call them ‘consumers.’ Those 7 billion consumers can switch from iPhone to Samsung or Huawei in less than two days. They can trade Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti, and within six months replace Ford and Chevrolet with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW — brands that are already more popular in many places. They can cancel DirecTV. And even if they choose not to, they can stop watching Hollywood films and turn instead to higher-quality productions from Latin America or Europe — with richer storytelling and better filmmaking. Believe it or not, people can skip Disney and visit the Xcaret resort in Cancún instead — or explore destinations across Mexico, Canada, or South America. Even in Mexico, you can find better burgers than McDonald’s — with higher nutritional value. Have you ever seen pyramids in the United States? Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, and Sudan have ancient wonders — none of them in the U.S. If they were, Trump would probably have bought and resold them by now. We know Nike isn’t the only sneaker brand. There’s Adidas — and even Mexican brands like Panama. We understand economics better than you think. And we also know that when those 7 billion consumers stop buying American products, unemployment will rise, and your economy — trapped behind its own self-imposed wall — will begin to collapse to the point where you’ll be begging for help. We didn’t want to do this. But you wanted a wall? Well. You’ve got one.” Her approval rating has reached a historic level — according to a recent poll, it stands at 85%.

Nem uma única bola rolou no gramado até agora e este é o quadro da COPA 2026: • As equipes do Senegal e do Uzbequistão foram tratadas na chegada como criminosos, com buscas completas em seus orifícios. • O melhor árbitro da África foi enviado de volta à Somália, apesar de seu passaporte diplomático. • O Fotógrafo da equipe do Iraque foi impedido de entrar mesmo com visto válido. • Foi negada a entrada nos EUA de 90% dos fãs marroquinos com ingressos já adquiridos. • Foram recusados vistos a 14 membros da equipe de apoio do Irã. • Foi negada a entrada no país do principal atacante da Suíça, o camaronês Breel Embolo. A equipe viajou sem ele. Após a forte repercussão, o visto foi enfim concedido. • A equipe iraniana, cujos jogos serão todos nos EUA, foi proibida de pernoitar no país. Imediatamente a após cada partida, os atletas voarão de volta ao México, onde se hospedam. - Qual é o sentido de sediar a Copa do Mundo se não pretendem que o MUNDO faça parte dela???

@amateursuman performed his 'Anaesthetist's Hymn' at The BMJ Medics' Revue 2026. Watch below! (symptoms of chronic laughter may follow)

Britain created a shortage occupation list. Then issued visas to fill it. Then collected taxes from those workers. Then doubled their ILR wait. Then told them they don’t belong. We followed every rule Britain wrote. Britain keeps rewriting the rules. We notice. 👀 🇮🇳🇬🇧 #BritishIndians

Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to. Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba. It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.

I just spent some time with this visitor to Bengaluru. That his spine is straighter than mine may not be entirely due to the difference in age. @kunalkamra88

“The country is becoming ungovernable...” The Times's Matthew Syed says constant leadership speculation is making it harder for Prime Ministers to make tough choices. #Newsnight

🔙 when Alizé Cornet got a code violation for fixing a backward shirt. Something male players do openly every single changeover. This moment sparked massive outrage and forced the US Open to apologize and change their rules. A wild reminder of the double standards in sports!

TEWV put a lot of work into making ECT clinics more centralised so that expertise and experience could be more concentrated and could lead to better outcomes. It is one of the largest trusts in the country and they put a lot of thought into making these changes.

Last night, I was sleeping on a small sofa in my mother’s room at the hospital, and like any son, I was extremely worried about her health. The whole night, I was comforted by only one thing. I was comforted by a nurse from Keralam who came in every hour to check on my mother. Every single hour, she would come and check on her. She would smile, and she would hold her hand. I found myself thinking about how many sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters have been comforted in their most difficult moments by nurses from Keralam. Early in the morning, I asked her, “Do you sleep at night, or do you work the whole night?” And she said, “I work all night.” So, while the whole world sleeps, women from Keralam, not only in Keralam but also in Delhi, across the country, and around the world, are comforting people, holding their hands, and making them feel at ease. For me, this is the spirit of the state of Keralam. : LoP Shri @RahulGandhi

#BREAKING: India’s IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw at Davos strongly counters IMF Chief for calling India a second-tier AI power: “I don't know what the IMF criteria is but Stanford places India at 3rd in the world for AI preparedness. I don't think your classification is correct.”

Saudi executions surge. Migrant workers top Saudi execution list. But why? @JyotsnaKumar13 has more.

I am having a wry smile at the warnings in the NHS about "Fake CQC Inspectors" How would you know, considering the *real* ones are so random themselves "How can you spot a real fraudster from a fraudulent fraudster" Next? Warnings about "Fake GMC executives"?

Thinking about acute / crisis care for people with PD diagnosis - iatrogenic harm is often discussed but does it mean it is inevitable? Evidence base needless to say is poor. Best evidence is for psychotherapy, so by definition not crisis care. #gappsych2025

Conservative MP Robert Jenrick has complained that, visiting Handsworth in Birmingham, he didn’t see ‘another white face’. You can’t judge whether someone is integrated by skin colour, argues @Sathnam Sanghera ⬇️ thetimes.com/life-style/cele…
