This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

I hope they never stop tweeting. My god.

All sorts of paper-thin progressive justifications here for what would be a grotesque example of state power - deployed against immigrants and non-white Brits who people decide look a bit foreign www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It just so happens that he was also Trump’s lawyer, so he can’t reveal anything that would hurt his client Trump without facing disbarment.

Here’s what we know so far about Trump’s BILLION DOLLARS worth of pardons. By: Elizabeth Oyer

Over 70 law professors, lawyers and former Florida Supreme Court justices have filed an ethics complaint against AG Pam Bondi for serious personal misconduct. The claim states Bondi “breached ethical duties and threatens the rule of law.” #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/Ak_lwUKdISeC...

OMFG!! This is real:

Total mentions on Fox & Friends this morning: Medicaid: 2 Biden: 27

Setting up "aid distribution points" and then massacring people who come to obtain food is sincerely one of the most evil things I have ever seen.

This terrible accusation is a hard Schlapp in the face to the GOP

Meet Rep Brandon Gill R-TX, the son-in-law of "pardoned" criminal Dinesh DeSouza. Corruption is a Repugnant pre-requisite. Where did he come up with $850,000? He's been in Congress FOUR MONTHS! [Linked article with details follows]

(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.

there it is

2005

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?

The entire point.

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.

Elon Musk's drug abuse impossible to hide

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.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that a Florida Sheriff's office violated our client's Fourth Amendment rights by detaining him at ICE’s request and nearly deporting him to Jamaica in 2018, even though he's a U.S. citizen.

Yep! That’s The Guy! Reeks Of Hypocrisy….

This is succinct & entertaining. This is a must watch. #Tariffs

“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.”

An excellent suggestion from David Gauke over on Twitter.

Oh.

Fiona Hill, ex-White House official, says Trump fears Putin due to nuclear threat and misreads his goals. She warns Trump’s offers risk being exploited and criticizes his inexperienced team as unprepared to face Russia’s seasoned diplomats. news.yahoo.com/news/fiona-h...

Wounded Knee, South Dakota, December 29th, 1890. America was founded on the genocide of its Indigenous populations. Native American history IS U.S. history. Teach it all. Yes?

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

"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.
