Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

the thing thing about the admonition to “not take the bait” is that while it makes sense in the context of an election — where you are trying to communicate a narrow set of ideas broadly — it does not make sense in the context of “how do we make this president as unpopular as possible”

Everything that was largely avoided like the plague for decades, because it was immoral and unethical…but barely legal…maybe…is now exploited to the fullest. It was just a matter of who would dare go ahead and do it.

The Afrikaner stunt is the kind of thing that has backfired so far -- it creates legal arguments for other refugees about animus. But holy hell he's not hiding the white sheets.

The Economist estimates that the annual costs of Reform UK’s manifesto would be around £200bn and savings around £100bn. The gap would amount to a colossal fiscal shock, blowing up the deficit and straining the gilt market to its limit www.economist.com/britain/2025...

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

Age UK’s research found 2 million elderly people are unable to meet care needs due to lack of staffing in the sector. Today’s announcement threatens any chance of filling this essential skills shortage, all to lean into a culture war against Farage. It’s nonsensical www.ageuk.org.uk/latest-press...

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

#Starmer is right to stress his progress on US & Indian trade deals The US deal however is a tiny pinprick when compared with the major prize of an EU deal. The BofE Governor stresses the importance of EU UK trade, & the damage that #Brexit has done. A majority want to #RejoinEU shorturl.at/U5kpv

This Labour government's cruel welfare cuts will non only punish sick and disabled people, it will make it harder for people to work - including many of the DWP's own staff who rely on PIP to work. @adrianramsay.bsky.social and I spoke in Diane Abbott's vital debate this week.

Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues. 1. Cutting disability benefits 2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance. 3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap .... 🧵
