lol the clear implication of this briefing is that someone associated with a PR firm pretended to be an irate rich person on the phone to get a plug for a client who sells services aimed at irate rich people

I do not understand this tendency among journalists to reduce every political event to a prediction about whether it will be a lasting news cycle. On the merits, we have a billionaire who helped a fascist get into power and now believes he can dictate policy. That matters! A lot!

The problem with building a party made up of people who couldn't last in mainstream parties and whose USP is that it speaks its mind... ... is that you get undisciplined people who speak their mind. It's a feature, not a bug

Personally I think that having some of the most powerful institutions in American life publicly identify themselves as supporters of LGBT equality was (and is) a good thing, and that their retreat from that is quite bad.

The governing party winning a by-election is always a win for its leader. The governing party winning a by-election they were expected to lose is a good win for its leader. The governing party winning a by-election in a seat they didn't previously hold is a great day for its leader.

The Guardian really has it in for the govt atm: extending FSMs to 500k more children gets this headline. And people wonder why the govt is struggling to communicate the progressive things it's doing

The Guardian story does not mention that the EHRC's Akua Reindorf has previously advised and represented Sex Matters and been instructed by LGB Alliance. Seems relevant.

In a democracy, should the question we ask ourselves be "Am I better off?" What about "are other people better off?" "Are the laws fair?" "Are we more secure?" "Are we trashing the planet for the future?" The left, in particular, should be really wary of transactional framings of democracy. 1/3

🧵 As @iododds.bsky.social has already pointed out, the EHRC and the "supreme" court seem to want to create a historical/legal fiction that, in 2009 and 2010, parliament was proposing that The Equality Act (2010) was in fact a national toilet ban for trans people. As someone who was involved... 1/5

Let’s all go to Truth Social and tell Trump to undo DOGE to burn Elon. Say Musk did it because of [random conspiracy buzzwords] and to rehire all those loyal MAGA scientists. false flag, gain of function, black swan, CRT, Common Core, spike protein, DEI, ADA, SEL, deep state, mRNA, 5G chess

Take a moment to think of all the Republicans rocking back and forth under a table crying because they’re scared to pick sides. And then laugh at them.

Dude, you have to get over this. I cover films for a living and even I will tell you making "I HATE A MOVIE WITHOUT SEEING IT" your personality will rot you from the inside. *(This is the part where you pretend to be stupid and say "[I] do that" because I didn't like a movie you do, go ahead.)

The median age of soldiers in this war is easily in the low 40s and every Russian soldier is a volunteer, most of whom who signed up for the very lucrative compensation packages. Not every war is Vietnam.

Few Hamilton by-election thoughts: 1. Expectations matter - this was an area where Labour won a Westminster by-election on a massive swing less than two years ago and won in a general election less than one year ago get Labour’s victory yesterday is a massive shock given poling woes.

Very good thread on Labour’s by-election win in Scotland. Safe to say people in Scottish Labour are quite surprised this morning. But pleasantly so.

Reminder that Rudyard Kipling wrote the poem ‘Recessional’, with the now often used phrase, ‘Lest we forget’ as a warning against jingoism.

Well that changes the entire feel of Scottish politics in the long run up to Holyrood elections next year. Labour GAIN in Hamilton. SNP still struggling. Lab down on % in general election but up on 2021. Strong Reform result. Tories absolutely nowhere and supplanted by them.

I think the "everyone in trumpworld hates musk" bit is getting underplayed he stepped on a LOT of toes with DOGE, we know the trade guys (who have a big in with Trump) really hate him, and now he's on the outs with Miller lotta folks in trumpworld want this to be a permanent break

I'm just having a really negative reaction to people's reactions to Musk's claim that Trump is in the Epstein files. My reaction is: In 2016, one of his victims openly sued Trump and Epstein jointly claiming she was raped at the age of 13.

I seriously do admire the sheer tenacity you have to have to somehow find a way to get mad at Dems or some liberalor something over the Musk thing today. It requires a ragged persistence, a refusal to compromise with reality that is actively kind of impressive

Right. If Musk can even pressure the Senate to pass a substantially different bill than the House, I think they can make compromise on conference committee functionally impossible now that the Freedom Caucus is all fired up

TRUMP: Announces with great fanfare an automated bribery system; proudly announces pardons for criminals who have given him money; openly targets people and institutions with grossly unconstitutional government action. (something happens) DOPES: "He's trying to distract you from his evil deeds!"

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
