This is world-class dragging.šŸ”„ Rep @ericswalwell.bsky.social asked DHS Secretary Kristi Noem a straightforward question: Is Kilmar Abrego Garcias’ picture used by Trump doctored or not doctored? We need more Democrats cutting through MAGA bullsh*t. This is how it's done. #OnYourSide

"Just one more thing, Mr Farage, you want to lift the child benefit cap so people can have more kids. But I thought we were full?"

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always ļæ¼

Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.

Rabbi Johnathan Wittenberg - The current aid blockade ā€œruns counter to Judaism’s values of justice and compassion. It contradicts what we have painfully learned from our long history as victims of persecution...we must endeavour not to treat innocent others as we have been treated.ā€ Profound truth.

Trump has deIeted his ranting Memorial Day post. It wasn't his call. What a pity the Internet has a long memory.

On the left, the guy who ordered his 15-man death squad to kill and dismember American journalist Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. On the right, the former leader of Al Qaeda with a $10m US bounty on his head. And in the middle, the most corrupt US President in history.

Lots of coverage for the 'Great British Strike' a few racists standing around with flags. But none for the massive 500,000 person protest for Palestine last week. Our Media is a joke.

Total Strumpf lunacy on full display. Excruciatingly cringe making. 🤮

I think the govt is right to review current systems for accessing support - but only if they actually focus on meeting needs earlier and with the right support. If this is just about saving money then they will be in deep trouble - and more importantly, so will children with SEND and their families.
