'The Presjdent is lying' and not just about Los Angeles.

Excellent headline

The Marleen is not a security threat. Israel is the threat.

'Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th'

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

Go California, go!

"Sources said the administration is specifically considering a full termination of federal grant funding for the University of California and California State University systems." Pure vandalism. This could never happen in a country with functioning checks and balances.

Imagine working as a White House communications expert when, one morning, you look up to see a crew of unannounced Musk associates scaling the roof. The unit belongs to Starlink, the very company you had identified as posing security concerns. But there they are, installing internet service.

Out of the ashes of the Trump-Musk divorce is a damning new report highlighting, once again, that the Trump administration is a giant national security risk.

Peter Schiff ladies and gentlemen What is about republicans and excusing child rape? We’ve gone from QAnon and MAGA insisting that every single democrat was on Epstein’s island to ‘well if Donald Trump was in on the act then it’s probably not even illegal…’ America is touching the void right now

See the difference? 👀

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism. But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

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.

Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.

Authoritarians hate a free press.

No @nytimes.com he wasn’t “mistakenly” deported. He was deliberately deported as part of a crude illegal scheme and then later the government lost a court case resulting in it having to acknowledge it had no basis for his deportation.

This photo says it all. Russian missiles killed 4 people overnight in Kyiv - including, appallingly, 3 first responders as they tried to rescue civilian victims of earlier attacks. Putin will not stop murdering Ukrainian civilians unless forced. European leaders must act. 🇺🇦

While Reform has a mini meltdown and Musk/Trump tear chunks out of each other, maybe media could start scrutinising these grifting tossers who do nothing but harm and call it patriotism. They don’t even know how to behave, let alone decide policy. Time to start binning off these foghorns of failure.

This is something I’ve been trying to hammer home since 2016. Whether you’re a liberal Dem who wants single payer and abortion rights or whether you’re @walshfreedom.bsky.social, we desperately need grown-ups who agree to play by the rules, and who are willing to fight the hard fight for democracy.

Most transparent Government ever...

incredible stuff!

To the scientists who shared their work and kept pressure building against the Trump Admin for 100 straight hours: thank you for your relentlessness. We owe you a future of climate safety.

If this is how Israel treats a BBC news team.....

Take action to save America, Americans!

My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

Yep, sorry Americans but this Brit now regards you as untrustworthy, undemocratic and rapidly approaching pariah status.

“By revoking Harvard’s ability to enroll international students and threatening the legal status of current students, the Trump Administration seeks retribution against an institution that refuses to give up its academic independence."🎓 -Mass A.G.Andrea J. Campbell www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Donald has spent the last week pardoning his friends who defrauded Medicare, union pensions, banks, and more. This is what “fraud and abuse” actually looks like. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️

“The Germans of the 1930’s didn’t have the example of the Germans of the 1930’s to look back upon. We do.” @gregolear.bsky.social @lincolnsbible.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=qdaO...

Trump administration changes in the Justice Department have fostered what critics say is the ripest environment for corruption by public officials and executives in a generation.

Brexit sovereignty means we can’t afford to spend v much on defence… or in fact anything… Here’s the new slogan for the side of that bus… “Rejoin the EU and spend the increased GDP on what we want” (Letter, Times) (Not sure about “unaffordable luxury”… More an “unaffordable idiocy”)

“They are building a techno-authoritarian surveillance state. We can see that happening in real time. This is huge amounts of data on every single person in America that can and will be used in opaque & unaccountable ways—and it is terrifying.” Must watch interview with @carolecadwalla.bsky.social.

“The administration is clearly trying to intimidate Democrats, in the same way that they’re trying to intimidate the country.” This past week, DHS police invaded the Manhattan offices of Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) and briefly handcuffed one of his staffers.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

I am standing to be Chancellor of Cambridge University because I believe the University must meet this era of global disruption with clarity, imagination, and purpose. Cambridge needs a leader who’s outward-facing, principled, and prepared to act decisively www.ginamiller.org.uk

Another way to look at this is that SBU agents had to spend 18 months doing insanely dangerous Mission Impossible behind enemy lines tradecraft because Western governments won't authorise them using long-range missiles for fear of hurting Vlad's feelings.

It is great that the Horton General Hospital in Banbury will receive funding to invest in building safety works. This investment will help people benefit from better services across the health system. I look forward to seeing the difference this makes for patients at the Horton General Hospital.

Come on America, it's been clear to us Brits for a while now that the ONLY thing that interests Trump is 'can I make money out of this'?

The Trump administration released a new, detailed look at its proposed 2026 budget that includes major cuts to federal science agencies. It would slash cancer research, drug trials, space exploration, and so much more.
