The entire Democratic Party owes a massive debt of gratitude to Zohran Mamdani. Before his rapid rise, the party was largely rudderless, suffering from a loss of direction, momentum, and self-confidence. By drifting away from the working class, the party naturally saw voters walk away in response. Mamdani single-handedly corrected the course, bringing vital energy, ideological clarity, and an authentic connection back to the very people who had been left behind. Without his influence, the party’s current standing would look very different.

The loss of Stephen Kovacevich. He was always keen to tell me he was a regular listener and I had the great privilege of hosting his last ever appearance @BBCRadio3 talking to him and Martha Argerich @wigmore_hall about their years together on stage. RIP to a great performer.

Mourning the passing of one of our giants Stephen Kovacevich. Always grateful for our brief time at Aspen and for his wisdom on the 4th Beethoven concerto. Rest in peace.

TIME Magazine has released the full, unedited transcript of its interview with Trump alongside its cover story I put in the comments. I had to take several breaks to get through it, it's bad, really bad, because it's our President. If you've ever visited a loved one in a Memory Care facility you'd know the residents can give hours long dissertations without saying anything of substance, long strings of filterless free association that could lead anywhere. While Trump has always been a narcissist and a con man, he was also an effective communicator, you can't pull a successful con without that skill. What we see in this interview seems to be truly disturbing and we need to face it together as a nation and do something about it. Please take the time to read. time.com/article/2026/10/01/…

Nigel Farage condescendingly asserts that nobody cares that he was given £5 million by an overseas crypto-billionaire. As with so much, he is wrong.

Trump's new and not very bright DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullins says he is drawing up plans to stop processing international flights and travelers in "sanctuary cities". This is his answer to protests. Are he and Duffy just trying their damnest to stop tourism in the USA? Instead of ruining tourism Mullins needs to make humane treatment mandatory in detention centers. I guess the solution is too complicated for him to come up with on his own. #DemsUnited

India’s newly appointed Ambassador to China, Vikram Doraiswami, is winning praise online after a video emerged of him speaking fluent Mandarin during a tour of the Indian Embassy in Beijing. Smoothly breaking down the cultural, consular, and commercial wings, the veteran diplomat traded stiff press releases for a masterclass in public diplomacy. Doraiswami steps into this crucial Beijing role directly after high-profile stints navigating complex trade and political waters as India’s High Commissioner to both the United Kingdom and Bangladesh
