The Telegraph: There’s one thing the far-Left and Trump can agree on
The far Left in Britain is grappling with a renewed identity crisis, particularly in the wake of Donald Trump's alignment with Vladimir Putin amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Historically, the Left has defined itself in opposition to America and capitalism, but Trump's stance has led some to find common ground with him, complicating their ideological framework.
This moral ambiguity is evident in the Left's reactions to various global issues, including their support for groups like Hamas while remaining silent on other human rights abuses. The current political landscape challenges their previously held beliefs, forcing a reevaluation of alliances and principles.

The DOJ argues that Trump was acting within the scope of his official duties during the incident, which would allow the federal government to assume responsibility in civil cases. If approved, this change would only affect lawsuits filed in Washington, D.C.
