On the New Statesman podcast, Dominic Sandbrook argued that 1950s and 1960s politicians like Harold Macmillan gained empathy from evening reads of 19th-century fiction, such as Trollope, unlike today's screen-filled nights. He suggested this 'hinterland' produced better leaders amid a shrill political landscape, a view echoed by Aaron Bastani and Michael Gove. Critics pointed to era flaws like the Suez Crisis and Soviet spies, questioning if reading alone ensured strong governance. The clip revives calls for leaders with depth beyond briefs.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Imagine prime ministers unwinding with Anthony Trollope novels instead of policy briefs or social media. Historian Dominic Sandbrook misses that era's reflective leaders.

DeMario and Alcantu, who came to the U.S. from Cuba 25 years ago via the Visa Lottery, both supported Trump— he voted for him, she prayed for his win. But during a routine ICE check-in last June, agents found the old order from a traffic stop with three Xanax pills, shackled her, and moved her from Florida to Louisiana without a judge yet. Now running his Miami-Dade guitar shop alone, DeMario started a GoFundMe for her costs and vowed never to vote Republican again amid Trump's ramped-up deportations of Cubans, including ending parole programs.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Wayne DeMario teared up on camera, pleading to President Trump: 'Please get her home! She prayed for you.' His partner of 20 years, Yamile Alcantu, has been in ICE detention for eight months over a forgotten 2008 deportation order.

On February 19, 2026, the @NZParliament account—overseen by Clerk David Wilson—posted its final update, directing followers to Facebook or parliament.nz for news on oral questions and Royal Assent. Wilson pulled the plug after reports of Grok generating non-consensual deepfakes and child exploitation material, saying it didn't feel right for Parliament to stay on a platform allowing that. Politicians like Winston Peters and Christopher Bishop criticized the solo decision as virtue-signaling that cuts off nearly 1 million Kiwis on X, especially heading into the November election, while free speech advocates argue it denies voters authoritative info from their top news app.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

New Zealand's official Parliament account logged off X for good, pointing to disturbing reports of its AI chatbot Grok creating deepfake nudes and worse.

Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho, died Sunday after a shootout with security forces in Jalisco, aided by a U.S. intelligence task force. Retaliatory attacks killed 25 National Guard members and caused roadblocks and arson in western Mexico. Meme creators flooded timelines with Rubio photoshopped as the new CJNG boss, using his pensive White House photo—from undercover agent to gold-chained narco with an AK-47—building on his popular 'Rubio realizing' template.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Mexican forces took down cartel leader El Mencho in a dramatic Jalisco raid, and right away, folks turned Secretary of State Marco Rubio into the meme star of his successor.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke out against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán days before Hungary's April 12 parliamentary elections, warning voters against backing a Trump ally. Orbán, who has led since 2010, recently hosted U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who praised strong bilateral ties and Trump's support. Critics dismissed Clinton's comment by noting Orbán's long career predates Trump, while polls show challenger Péter Magyar's Tisza party now leading in a tight race marked by debates over EU policies, migration, and national sovereignty.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

In a video clip shared online, Hillary Clinton urged Hungarians to pick leaders for their own country, not someone she labeled a 'puppet of Trump.' The remark lands as Orbán's party braces for its closest election fight yet.

Huawei built Harmony OS for independence after US sanctions, though Western officials worry about potential espionage under China's intelligence laws; Huawei denies any spying. The exchange reveals the tough trade-offs in chasing true mobile privacy, with no flawless option available.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters sharply rebuked his coalition partners on Monday for proposing state asset sales to tackle rising unemployment at 4.7%, record business insolvencies, and government debt at 42% of GDP. Peters advocated building value in state assets to drive growth and jobs, citing Singapore's model, while Prime Minister Christopher Luxon minimized the disagreement, focusing on spending cuts and tax relief in the 2025 Budget. Opposition leaders like Labour's Chris Hipkins and the Greens' Chlöe Swarbrick echoed concerns about privatization risks amid slow GDP growth of 0.2%.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

In a fiery RNZ interview, Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters slammed his own government's asset sale push as a 'tawdry, silly argument'—a desperate bid to fix an economy reeling from 4.7% unemployment and soaring debt.
