SCHIFF: Would it ever be appropriate for the DOJ to tell the court, 'We're gonna ignore your order' ARTAU: I mean, Abraham Lincoln did that with the Dred Scott case SCHIFF: I'm hoping we're not gonna be going back the Civil War

Phang: Did it ever occur to the Trump administration that the reason more nationwide injunctions have been entered during President Trump’s term is because the shit he’s doing is illegal and unconstitutional?

Dreadful decision on its merits. And less seriously: how else are officials going to learn how to be publicly engaging and seemingly constructive, but without saying anything concrete or useful whatsoever?

Time to pick a side, America. Is this the future you want for us?

The detail in this Independent Premium article, basically suggests poverty related issues, people losing hope, kids leaving school with no qualifications etc etc. And Reform are giving them hope, change is needed etc. Reform aren't change though, they are like more extreme versions of the /1

Dmitry Grouzoubinski brilliantly nails the damage leavers like Daniel Hannan did in the referendum campaign. It should have been a choice for the British people , but he took the choice away by saying there was no choice…we could just leave the EU and everything would be better…

Truly horrifying. A must read

Parliaments keep getting more and more rebellious, from Heath to today. But by Christ it's impressive that the Labour leadership has managed to create a rebellion this vast so early. Really rather startling.

Thank you, Glenn. We are all well aware. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Badenoch could have come out of this well. All she had to do was say that she would support Starmer to get his benefit reforms through. That would have caused him maximum anguish.

Sunderland have donated a box at the Stadium of Light to the Bradley Lowry foundation for the upcoming PL season. The foundation will use the box to bring other sick and underprivileged children to matches throughout at season free of charge. Absolutely love this, fair play Sunderland ❀️ πŸ‘

Hateful sycophants like Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem behave like they will never be held accountable. I live for the day when they will be held accountable.

Mic drop.

The fact we are making ourselves more dependant on US military assistance, not less, is fundamentally insane. We cannot rely on the US as a security partner, how obvious can that possibly be before the UK security establishment takes it in?

Lean into laughter. πŸ˜„

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

AOC: You are not aware that the Trump Department of Justice is investigating the largest insurance company in America for fraud of Medicare Advantage that you have jurisdiction over?

Everyone needs to start reporting ICE agents are Iranian sleeper cells.
