Fauci’s Diaries Belong to the Public. Von der Leyen’s Belong to History.

Kennedy Jr. has introduced a dangerously old-fashioned concept into public administration: when public officials conduct public business using public infrastructure, the resulting records might actually belong to the public.

The "Cypriot issue"

Kaja Kallas and other EU officials have discovered a new favourite phrase: “the Cyprus issue.” It is an exceptionally useful expression.
