With about a month to go until any vote on government’s cuts to disability support it’s not too late for the Prime Minister to change course. I’m joining Trussell in calling on the government to rethink its cruel & irresponsible plan. This is how you can help👇 action.trussell.org.uk/disability-cuts

Indiana Governor Mike Braun, and his ‘Christian pastor’ Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith, just opted out of a federal program that would feed 700,000 children over the summer. It’s important to note Mike just had a helipad installed at his private residence on the taxpayers dime.

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

I literally made this joke throughout Trump’s first term: that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi could have avoided being killed by the US if he’d offered to build a Trump Tower in Raqqa. I was joking. And yet:

The Trump Administration is openly talking about suspending the writ of habeas corpus if the courts continue to rule against them. They don't have the authority to do that – and their threats are as reckless and irresponsible as they are dangerous. Let's break it down. youtu.be/3G_A99z5xLo?...

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

While Trump raises prices on Americans, he's grifting hundreds of millions in crypto projects—selling access to the presidency, rewarding investors, and pushing policies that enrich his family. This corruption is unprecedented in US presidential history.

Russia isn’t winning. They’re burning through men, tanks older than your dad, and begging North Korea for troops. That’s not strength—it’s desperation. We didn’t let them win the Cold War, and we won’t let them fake a win now. youtu.be/lvVI64jVXuI?...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Truly apropos of nothing, one of the most inexplicable parts of Trump Era media coverage has been the total lack of interest in his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. They were very close friends! Ghislane recruited girls AT MAR-A-LAGO. There's video of them giggling as they watch young girls dance!

When a media company or law firm surrenders to Trump, they are hurting America. In most cases, they are doing it out of pure greed - both sides are highly transactional & care only about themselves. But their viewers/readers/clients should be clear-eyed about who they really are.

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.
