He’s now staring at what will certainly be his real legacy: Macron opened the door to the far right in France. After a shattering defeat in May’s European Parliament election, his decision to call a snap election has, at least partially, backfired. Emmanuel Macron delivers a speech at the Louvre Museum in Paris after winning the French presidential election in May 2017. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, left, and France's Emmanuel Macron shake hands after a press conference on June 16, 2022 in Kyiv, Ukraine. For countless communities in France - French or immigrant - the legacy of one man’s gamble, and the uncertainty that is his legacy, will exact a far higher price.

David AxelrodDavid Axelrod, a former Obama staffer, said the GOP will be in trouble if another Democrat replaces Biden as the nominee. He confronted the question on nearly every Democrat's mind: whether Biden should drop out of the race. The Pod GuysThough typically loyal to Biden, the hosts of the hugely popular podcast are saying that Biden should, at the very least, consider stepping aside. Kristof implored the president to leave his successor in the hands of delegates at the Democratic National Convention.

Former President Donald Trump is "ready for battle" in his Georgia mugshot, according to a body language expert. But the expert said his pose "indirectly leaks a little bit of fear" over DA Fani Willis' case. This may indicate, Driver noted, that Trump "knew it was coming" and that he might be saying [Willis] has "got a case," but that he is "going to go down fighting." "This perception may be due to the association between head size and brain size, which is often linked to intelligence," Driver noted. Driver noted of the mugshot, "This is, basically, 'You've got a case, but I'm not backing down,' versus 'You've got nothing on me, this is a joke.'"

If you use any of these nine phrases, you're more emotionally secure than most people:1. One of the most noticeable characteristics of emotionally secure people is that they articulate themselves well. Similar phrases: "I'm sorry, but I can't help with that because I have too many other commitments." Having a solid belief system is key to being emotionally secure because it guides our choices. When a value is violated, emotionally secure people are able to take a stance for what they believe is moral and fair.

It's not clear how Spiro and Musk connected in the first place, but they seem to operate on the same wavelength.

Putin is likely humiliated as Russia's military losses mount in Ukraine, a Russia expert told Insider. Putin's personal vendetta against Ukraine and his misplaced assuredness in Russia's military supremacy likely blinded him to the Western world's willingness to come to Ukraine's aid. "He misjudged the willingness of western governments and firms to take a hit to punish Russia, and certainly the willingness of Europe to imperil their supply of gas." The US, too, has had to make sacrifices as a result of Russia's war in Ukraine. Russia's mounting military losses in conjunction with the Western world's rallying behind Ukraine is a worst-case scenario for Putin.
