We’re seeing new escalation from the Trump administration and Russ Vought targeting federal employees. As the fallout between Elon and Trump grows, the resistance is being blamed. For now, everything is okay on our end. We’ll share more details soon.

When two egotists collide. Elon Musk calls for Trump impeachment, mocks his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump threatens to cancel govt contracts and tax subsidies for Musk’s companies. Kindergarten politics highlight failure of US constitution and politics.

5m UK adults in financial, health, housing insecurity. 15 yrs of real wage cuts, austerity, unchecked profiteering, declining public services, poor housing take toll. 37% of universal credit claimants are in work. 1% have more wealth than 70% of population combined. Need people-centred politics.

Reeves given £27,000 donation from lobbying firm linked to Thames Water bidder KKR. Companies don't donate, they buy access to policymakers to advance their interests. No matter what politicians say, people see this as corruption. Must ban all political donations. archive.ph/BMaQ9

Do people really believe that the Billionaire Media would tell them, "The problem is us, the billionaires." No of course they won't, instead they will blame absolutely anybody else.

UK Govt AI copyright plan suffers fifth Lords defeat, 221 to 116 votes. Copyright enables many to earn a living. It is being ripped off by tech companies. All they need to do is to inform people, get a licence to use and pay. Govt says change might come in the future. I voted against the govt.

The U.S. has long led the world in research. But under Trump’s policies, that leadership is slipping. As federal support collapses, scientists are forced to choose b/t staying & fighting for the work they love - or leaving the country to keep their careers alive. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Trump’s Fool’s Gold EO uses science-y language to sound legit—but it’s being used to dismiss real evidence, like COVID vaccine benefits in pregnancy. John Timmer breaks it down & cites a piece by our founder on how Trump’s EO threatens to reshape US science around a political agenda⬇️ bit.ly/4jxe0Ny

Failed COVID PPE contracts during the pandemic cost UK public purse £1.4bn. £762m lost - PPE over ordered and defective, delays in checking quality. Govt trying to recover £468m. But some got richer. Would govt snoop on their bank accounts, like it will on benefit claimants?

“Imagine flattening an irreplaceable grade I listed building like the Royal Albert Hall, replacing it with karaoke machines in various towns & then telling the public this is a ‘win-win’ for architecture & music” - brutally accurate analogy from @ruthtingay.bsky.social @wildjustice.bsky.social
