Trump in 2013: “Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!”

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

So #Trump won’t kill the Iranian leader “at least for now”. When did the execution of a foreign head of state at the Presidential whim become normalized? America, what on earth have you become? The rest of the civilized world looks on aghast. #NoKings

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The death and destruction we're seeing now is 100% bc of Trump & Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

There it is. Trump confirms what we've said all along - he's been protecting Putin this entire time.

So, have you told the truth about Brexit, immigration, social care, ‘levelling up’, tax, NetZero… about 14yrs abusing power? No. You spend your life on a disinformation hellsite and you don’t call out “the lies and delusions that dominate Westminster” because your party is neck-deep in all of them.

Corruption on a massive scale, all in plain sight. The GOP is too craven and greedy for its own tax breaks to call it out.

In an Oval Office meeting with the South African president, Trump lied and described a private memorial in South Africa, the Witkruis Monument, as a "burial site" for white farmers. The private monument has been criticized for honoring only white victims.

Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.

Kiss goodbye to Brexit - and good riddance 👍

Another deeply pathetic and tedious tantrum from Tory failures and our right wing media. Brexit is wholly dishonest, horrendously costly and relentlessly crap. The ‘freedoms’ are worth very very little compared to the restrictions. There is nothing to ‘betray’ except our futures and our prosperity.

The Brexit elite rant about "Brexit freedoms". There are no Brexit freedoms. There is only the robbery of our citizenship and Freedom of Movement across 30 countries. Brexit was the worst assault on our freedom in 200 years. It must never be accepted. #RejoinEU

If Starmer’s deal was the end of Brexit (in reality it sadly isn’t) it’d only be a good thing. Brexit made Britain poor and weak. Brexit was millionaires conning the poor into voting against their best interests to meet the vested interests of the super rich. Brexit is peak hypernormalisation.

Brexit hasn't been betrayed. The British people have not been betrayed. The betrayal was Brexit. Once that is the established narrative, we can all go forward together.

Foreign films are a national security threat? We’re shaking our heads. We’d laugh if this wasn’t such dangerous, authoritarian rhetoric. What other countries do this? Russia and China.

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges. When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.
