Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

Obviously the Conservative Party wasn't going to listen, but I watched Liz Truss as Trade Secretary and then I watched Kemi Badenoch with an expanded brief, and it was quite clear that neither of them were up to even those jobs for similar reasons.

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now. Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump. This is how you want a leader to talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=linJ...

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

We're walking right into it. No one appears to have any idea how to stop it. We know where it's headed. Martial law. The end of democracy. No more elections. A waking nightmare. I promise to amplify anyone offering legal, workable solutions. I haven't found any yet. And the left is leaderless.

“REFORM UK THREAT” - they shout “Rise reflects distrust of political class” - they say No. Rise reflects incessant media promotion without scrutiny. Easy to seem ‘different’ when you don’t have power and you’re not held to account for the lies you tell and the hate you peddle. (Opinion, The i)

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

As Trump deploys the National Guard against his own citizens, the importance of protecting our own human rights from abuse at the hands of govt has never been clearer. But still the Tories push to strip us of our protections, in a desperate bid for power for themselves. Important letter (Times)

I recently heard a high-profile pundit argue that the Trump movement cannot be Fascistic as -its supporters don't wear uniforms; -Trump dislikes foreign wars; -he hasn't tried to amend the Constitution. It's a dangerously complacent view, that misses the sheer gravity of the current situation. 🧵

No evidence. Politicized justice to save their asses. I have not the vocabulary to express my loathing and contempt for these people, who have absolutely no shame, no honor, no integrity, no respect for the constitution. Despicable, vile, criminal, corrupt and cruel.

In case you missed it ... Leaving the ECHR would also mean ... 1. Ending the Good Friday Agreement. 2. Ending the Brexit deal. 3. Leaving the Council of Europe. 4. Risking the loss of our fundamental rights. 5. Opening the door to the death penalty. 6. Moving even closer to Russia and Belarus.

This is pretty devastating. Lutnick admits that tariffs were never about reciprocity, eliminating foreign trade barriers, or negotiating better deals. They just don't like international trade. Period. He even says about imports: "we don't want other people making them."
