Trump-era lawlessness must be prosecuted. Our new group is working to end the impunity | Kenneth Roth

Congressional investigations are only part of the solution. A civic project will do needed legal legwork The Democrats’ midterm victory was resounding, but it will not be enough to re-establish the rule of law in the United States. The basic principle that even the president and his officials and cronies are subject to the law has been profoundly undermined by Donald Trump through unchecked ICE violence, apparently large-scale official corruption, and frequent defiance of the law.

France’s response to protests is making Islamophobia worse. But ministers won’t even utter the word | Kamélia Ouaissa

France’s response to protests is making Islamophobia worse. But ministers won’t even utter the word | Kamélia Ouaissa

French people like me live in fear because far-right hate speech goes unchecked. The consequences can be deadly Anger at the dilapidated state of schools may have been the starting point for the unrest that has rocked France for over a month, but the protest movement has grown into something much bigger. It has widened to take in a far broader segment of society whose grievances, including institutional racism and Islamophobia, are now connecting. I have no doubt that one of direct causes of this snowball effect is the repressive nature of the response to the initial protests, which were treated entirely as a matter of law and order – criminalised, not listened to.

Chaos across the country: is France about to Implode?

Chaos across the country: is France about to Implode?

By Leo Kuper On 17 October 2026, about 800,000 people marched in the streets of France. Some were students wishing for better conditions in schools; others were a group of struggling workers, pensioners and unemployed people, known as the “Gilets Jaunes” (Yellow Vests), protesting against the rise in the cost of living. This was a mostly peaceful protest. However, those who stole the headlines were the individuals (who can hardly be considered protesters) who took advantage of the situation...

A Trump proposal would punish single parents. Other wealthy countries have a different approach

A Trump proposal would punish single parents. Other wealthy countries have a different approach

Canada, the Netherlands and Sweden offer extra support to solo-parent households. In its latest pronatalist push, the Trump administration aims to shift funds away from them When news broke that the Trump administration planned to pay married couples to have one parent stay home with their kids, everyone from policy wonks to Redditors bemoaned what they saw as a new front in the mommy wars. The proposal would shift funds that subsidize childcare for low-income working parents – the majority of them single parents who rely on childcare providers – to low-income married couples with one earner. Given that most single parents and stay-at-home parents are women, and both groups would be applying for the same limited funds, it seemed almost designed to pit moms against each other.

Labour’s trans bill is a cynical attempt to keep grievance alive

Women’s rights activists have been right to caution that recent victories against gender ideology risk the onset of complacency. The most significant of these was the Supreme Court ruling in April last year to the effect that in the Equality Act 2010, “sex” means biological sex, and not gender identity, a decision that paved the way for a new code of conduct that prohibits males – including those who identify as women – from using women’s toilets, changing rooms and prison cells.

Iran was behind cyber-attack on French supermarket freezers, Paris says

French foreign minister vows European sanctions against Tehran over ‘unprecedented’ hacks last month France has said Iran was responsible for a massive cyber-attack on supermarket freezers and chiller cabinets that was described by its foreign minister as being an act of “unprecedented scale and unprecedented aggression”. Jean-Noël Barrot said “Europe-wide sanctions” would be imposed against those responsible, adding that the attacks – which took control of digital thermostats to push temperatures up to above 50C – constituted “a major violation of the nation’s interests”.

We have a new shadow president – and he can play Trump like a fiddle | Arwa Mahdawi

Stephen Miller is an ideologue on a mission to reshape the world. But his appointment has a silver lining for Democrats Has the midterms bloodbath made Donald Trump go all woke? Has his party’s historic rebuke finally made him reflect on his actions and forced a road to Damascus moment? Of course not; this is the world’s least introspective man we are talking about. However, for about 30 seconds on Sunday, the usually incoherent president managed the amazing feat of speaking a little bit of sense.

Trump is humiliated and angry – and Europe is where he’s free to lash out | Nathalie Tocci

The US president sees Europeans as the mirror image of his ‘woke’ domestic foes. They should brace for further betrayal this winter Europeans have greeted the blue wave that crashed down on Donald Trump and his Republican party with jubilation and relief. Jubilation, because Trump’s second presidential administration has been the most destructive in the history of the transatlantic relationship. His disdain for Europe and his evident delight in attacking its governments – in particular that of Ukraine – have been hard to swallow. Relief, because the midterm election results confirm that Europeans are not unique in being appalled by Trump’s actions: a large majority of Americans are too. I was in Washington immediately after the vote, and the mood was one of excitement and a newfound confidence. And like many Americans, in these results Europeans see hope that US democracy can be saved, American foreign policy moderated and the transatlantic partnership revived.

Miller’s appointment signals Trump’s radicalization

President Donald Trump’s decision to promote loyalist Stephen Miller to lead the White House signals that he plans to intensify confrontations during his final two years in office and resist external political and economic pressure, Trump administration officials and other Republicans say. Despite Tuesday’s electoral defeat, with Miller as chief of staff, the Trump administration is expected to continue its aggressive crackdown on immigration, escalate cultural conflicts and give no ground to a Democratic-controlled Congress, officials and experts told Reuters.

If Democrats want to keep the blue wave going into 2028, they have to take on the billionaire class Welcome back to How We Win, a Guardian opinion series with leading thinkers, offering bold ideas for America’s political future. Last week, Judd Legum shined a spotlight on the role of dark money in US elections. Today’s edition was written by Naomi Klein, Guardian US columnist and author of End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World, co-written with Astra Taylor. To see the battle lines of the post-midterm era in sharp relief, look to Texas. The oligarchs in this battle seem to have no loyalty to the nations, states and cities that helped them grow their enormous wealth.

JD Vance’s first 2028 pitch reveals his profound weakness as a candidate | Moira Donegan

The potential presidential contender has misread the electorate – and that’s just the start of his problems The good news is that the dramatic results of last week’s midterm elections mean that Donald Trump and his administration will be much less able to immiserate and impoverish the American people for the next two years, that newly competitive states are likely to see an influx of investment from Democrats, and that states that were once under seemingly unbreakable regimes of Republican control now have Democratic state governments that will hopefully pursue more just, or at least less cruel, policy agendas. The bad news is that the 2028 presidential cycle has already begun.

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have an Israel problem – Stateside with Kai and Carter

In an interview this week, Donald Trump was asked to give his assessment of why Republicans lost so badly in the midterms. Along with gas prices, the president blamed 'a dislike for Israel' among voters. It’s an acknowledgment that might not be made by some senior figures in the Democratic party. For years, there have been calls for them to change their stance on Israel, and now those calls are coming from newly elected members in the House and Senate. Kai Wright speaks to Moustafa Bayoumi about why the fight over Israel in the Democratic party is just beginning, and what an influx of lawmakers winning on pro-Palestine platforms means for the future of Aipac There is a showdown looming in the Democratic party over support for Israel

‘We said no, no, no, but they kept insisting’: the Paraguayan people battling a eucalyptus empire

It is Paraguay’s largest private investment but local people accuse a forestry giant of ignoring their contamination concerns over its vast plantation When Paracel arrived in Tacuarita, an Indigenous community of homes made from planks and plastic sheeting in Paraguay’s poorest region, six years ago, it was a welcome sight. The company improved the dirt roads and dug an electric-powered well, saving villagers a two-mile journey to fetch water from a cattle pond that often made them sick. It also gave dozens of local people forestry jobs. “They fulfilled all their promises,” says Florencio Garcete, 55, chief of the Mbya Guaraní community of 211 people.

‘The path is very difficult’: Mark Danner on why Democrats shouldn’t aim to only rebuild post-midterms

The veteran journalist’s Crossing the Rubicon comes after a historic election where Democrats took over state legislatures across the US Mark Danner’s new book, Crossing the Rubicon, collects his writing on politics for the New York Review of Books over the quarter-century since Bush v Gore in 2000. It arrives in the aftermath of another momentous election, the midterms tsunami that swamped Donald Trump and his Republican party and will give Democrats control of Congress next year. From January, battle will commence between Congress and a lame duck president. Democrats have two years to hold the president accountable and build a case to take back the White House and to address damage done by the depredations of Elon Musk and Doge, by budget chief Russell Vought, and by other destructive forces.
