I love being an immigrant (not an "expat") in France, and wish all immigrants were welcomed wherever they go. No longer have horses (too old to take on any more) but happy with my cats and the ageing biker I married.

What tricks are the Senate going to use to pass these non-budgetary policies in a reconciliation bill?

Day 1194 of Putin's war, though let's remember the initial invasion came 11 years ago. Since February 2014, not once have western sanctions or military support come close to being enough to restore justice and defeat evil. Welcome to THE daily Ukraine thread, for Sunday 1 June

Hello again, welcome to another Ukraine thread on Day 1193. It's another weekend, on the last day of the 40th calendar month in which Russia has been invading a peaceful neighbour. All the news, all the time (except when I fall asleep!) - KoFi welcome if you like what I do 💙💛

Cannot wait to read the detailed inside story of how they pulled this off.

"We're not in love with the law." Ladies and gentlemen, the United States Government.

Gonna watch this once a week to remind myself how fortunate most of us are and use it to help other people just trying to live their good lives. Who among us would do differently than these hard working people to immigrate and better themselves. June 14th folk-out in the streets!

I for one thank god that I live in a blue state and none of these morons are running here...So wish I had some control.

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Musk tried to shut down CBS from asking about anything other than "spaceships"

Ah, but Sen. Ernst, we don’t want people to die before they’re supposed to. Or perhaps you do?

❗️Do you agree with him? "It is not 🇷🇺Russia who decides on 🇪🇺EU membership. It is the European Union who does that. Two is NATO. It is not Russia that decides on NATO membership. It is the Alliance itself." — President of 🇫🇮Finland Alexander Stubb

Our politics has become deeply unserious. Flags and gimmicks and stupid video clips and social media clickbait and lies. With very little serious challenge to counter the nonsense and the dishonesty. The consequences for our country and our democracy are dire. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...

Has this Labour government ‘allowed the biggest influx of migrants in British history’? No. fullfact.org/politics/ric...

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics

It's like a death cult

One of the great under discussed developments of the past year or so is how Royal Mail have largely given up on the idea of delivering post. They've moved on, god knows to what, but the rest of society still seems to be stuck in the naive notion that paying £1.70 for a stamp means something.

Tim Walz takes a shot at Susan Collins: "She's always 'deeply concerned' about things. Well do something then, about being 'deeply concerned.'"
