Little is known about who is behind a wave of attacks on French prisons that come as authorities seek to clamp down on jailed kingpins running their empires from behind bars. Anti-terrorism prosecutors are investigating. https://t.co/qde8OMaotB

Trump’s Least Favorite Judge Has Friends in High Places - good look at another judge in the cross hairs of executive fury https://t.co/616pJ7J4GO

Washington's three most powerful men - Trump, Musk, Vance - have lent their support to Le Pen, alleging she is a victim of leftist lawfare. Will it help her? "I'm not sure it helps," said French Minister Manuel Valls. https://t.co/MSn9BsRs0S

Here's a good read from @MichelReuters that shows how Le Pen's barbs against the judiciary are playing badly in just the sort of cities she needs if she stands any chance of running in 2027 https://t.co/pjpWM3oZkr

According to some, "la guerre juridique" has now landed in France. Others aren't so sure. My latest. https://t.co/s7VovpTD3c

Nice scoop from my former Rio colleague Rodrigo Viga Gaier, who got Bolsonaro on the phone to speak about the Le Pen verdict https://t.co/Hs0QHOWe7j

Unlike Trump, Le Pen bet big on playing nice with France's cherished institutions, hoping it would catapult her to the presidency. That strategy backfired on Monday, when a Paris court ended her dreams of top office https://t.co/NYCkInykWY

D-Day for Le Pen. Will she be forced to sit out the 2027 election, or will she live to fight another day? Graft trial verdict due this morning. https://t.co/YyuiUqRb6K

France's constitutional court has left the door open to Le Pen receiving a potential five-year public office ban if she is convicted in a graft trial that concludes on Monday, declining to bail out the far-right leader. https://t.co/fTqQyM4GIb

The report warned that the emergence of fully autonomous AI, in which systems plan and execute tasks without human guidance, "could pave the way for entirely AI-controlled criminal networks, marking a new era in organised crime" https://t.co/fBDpx80ppM

Le Pen describes the proposed political ban menacing her presidential hopes as an unprecedented, anti-democratic attack. But growing numbers of French politicians have received such bans - a worrying precedent ahead of her March 31 graft trial verdict: https://t.co/sUkt1UqNUV

RT @BrazilBrian: I'M STILL HERE is of course about politics & the horrors of dictatorship -- but it is also a wonderful testimony to Brazil…

Interesting move by Bardella. He's certainly made a splash at CPAC but hard to say if this helps or hinders him going forward: https://t.co/3OQdtgwWAU
