(CROWDSOURCING THREAD) Hi all. So it’s been almost exactly a year since the last PROOF Threat Index—which I just made free, below—and I’m almost done with the update. The names have changed considerably. I have 150+ names but am wondering who poses a threat to our democracy you think I might miss.

If Westminster rule delivers terrible outcomes under the Tories, no discernible philosophy or change under Labour, and the prospect of Farage as Prime Minister, what exactly is the case for Scotland remaining part of the UK?

Jake Tapper's TV show ratings are tanking and his book isn't selling, proving that peddling irrelevant BS during a time of an actual national crisis isn't a winning formula.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

My take on today's US court tariff ruling. This is an excellent opportunity for the EU and other trading partners to quit preparing packages of concessions, tell Trump to shove it and get on with trading without the US. First 300 clicks free. It being 3.42am here in London, I am now going to bed.

“I believe the govt of Israel is now the enemy from within. It has declared war on the state & its inhabitants. No external foe we've fought against over the past 77 years has caused greater damage to Israel than what the Itamar Ben-Gvir, Netanyahu & Bezalel Smotrich-led govt have inflicted on us.”

"Trump is unique among the nation’s presidents in having no interest in presiding over a functioning govt, let alone building institutions that will survive his term in office. That's why the analogies pundits have tried to draw between the early periods of other presidencies fall entirely flat."

If people didn't realise that trump is mentally unfit to clean toilets, the they should be forced to listen to the utter garbage he's spewing, to the West Point graduates. What a shitshow, even for him.

Trump has descended into the stories and inane ramblings, about "great friends" of his, and how rich they are. West Point graduates must be really impressed with dementia don's insane bullshit. 🤨

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

It’s funny how this kind of article never gets written when, say, an American member of the “pro-Israel movement” murders a 6 year old child of Palestinian heritage at the outset of a conflict that would see the world’s most moral army slaughter more than 16,000 children with utter impunity

BREAKING: Trump gave a gold watch to Chinese foreign national Justin Sun, who up until he invested $75M into Trump's crypto company, the SEC was investigating him for FRAUD. After then pouring $23M into Trump's meme coin, Sun got VIP ACCESS to Trump’s dinner last night. Imagine if Biden did this.

If this passes... there are no Guard Rails left. Is Violent Uprising the only recourse? Or will some of us become Refugees Fleeing an Oppressive Government? That would include Pregnant Women, Gay community, Free Speech advocates, Truthful Media, Activists, Homeless, Starving citizens and Veterans.

Trump says we’re going to spend $175 BILLION on a “Golden Dome” to protect us from… checks notes — Canada and Mexico, presumably? Endless waste, enriching his friends — as we cut health care for regular people, seniors… But keep telling us they care about the debt.

The president of the United States knows approximately seven words, the degree he uses “big, beautiful” to describe everything is astounding
