Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

But this would require recipients working full time for an employer who actually offers healthcare benefits. So the plan will kick millions off of ALL healthcare.

Ugh. Supreme Court permits stage to have access to sensitive Social Security data, over the sense of the three progressives. With the Trump- Musk feud increasingly, bitter, and Musk loyalists in place at DOGE, it’s a dangerous situation.

More evidence that when Christian nationalists talk about religious freedom, they only mean for people who believe as they do. Dominionist Sean Feucht, who has led worship in the Capitol and White House, calls it "sickening" that a Sikh prayer was allowed to be offered in Congress.

Nearly 20 years ago today I met George & Iris Lavis. They met on the Normandy invasion beaches. She landed a week after D-day, one of 12 women aboard a landing craft. He waved her ashore & shouted "what are they sending bloody women for when we need ammunition & supplies!" Then they fell in love

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

The only thing as predictable as a Nigel Farage photoshoot with a pint, is a Nigel Farage led party falling out and falling apart. If you can't govern a team of 5MPs and some staff, what chance do you have of governing a country? None.

This always was and always is the destination of relationships that are purely transactional: that are zero sum games. Real social capital - trust - binds relationships, even through conflict. Mutual back scratching is only skin deep: it moves quickly from back scratching to eye gouging.
