What the actual fuck? Two Russian flags on this legit Department of Defense post from 5hrs ago marking Flag Day. Does the US now celebrate Russian national symbols?!

Lovely to see the US Army having a nice little walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. "'Eft, 'eft, right, right, 'eft..." #NoKings #NoDictators #NoOligarchy

Just announced - The UK has a reprieve from 50% steel tariffs*, but will still be subject to a 25% levy until the trade agreement is fully implemented. Making a durable, mutually beneficial deal with Trump was never going to be straightforward, was it...? (*π˜›&𝘊𝘴 𝘒𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺)

Populists keep persuading people to vote against their own interests. Poland has arguably been the greatest beneficiary of EU membership, but they voted for an anti-EU candidate. Two million Poles emigrated to work across the EU, but they voted against migration. There's no logic. Only emotion...

Because nothing says "we're cutting waste and fraud" like covering your ceiling in 24ct gold...

If AI had dreamt-up this shite, you'd laugh at its incoherence. I especially love when Musk boasts of cutting waste, then seamlessly points to the ceiling and lauds how Trump had it covered in 24ct gold! The irony is off the fucking chart! www.facebook.com/FoxNews/vide...

When will people in the US acknowledge the president is Putin's puppet? He cannot do enough to satisfy Vlad's desires... news.sky.com/story/kremli...

This beta cuck literally had the world's richest man handing -out $1M checks at his rallies. He literally had America's richest men on the podium at his inauguration, having bought their fealty with promises of immense government contracts and enormous tax cuts. He lies every time he breathes.

Reminder: The US government knows that Russia is aggressively using social media to skew elections & topple democracy. It's not a fever dream. Putin's read Sun Tzu's Art of War. "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." Putin is winning... www.justice.gov/archives/opa...

A handy reminder of which companies you should avoid at all cost.

Government efficiency?

Reform voters really don't give a toss about the UK, so this is unlikely to influence their thinking (such as it is). However, the man who brought us Wrecksit and cost the country hundreds of billions will destroy what's left of the economy with his populist - and catastrophic - economic plans.

Great to hear Trump and Vance severely berate Saudi Arabia for its repression of free speech, and condemning their imposition of the death penalty for critical social media posts. Oh, wait... Nah. They didn't. They just took the money and ran. #Corruption www.amnesty.org/en/location/...

So the self-proclaimed anti-drug, anti-gang, anti-immigrant, anti-crime president has made a deal to allow leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel to move to the USA? How much did they pay him? Did they buy him off with crypto or cocaine? He's the most corrupt hypocrite in history apnews.com/article/el-c...

If you think there's a problem with immigration, you must be apoplectic about the problem of illiterate, unproductive, entitled, DGAF white trash... It's just easier for them to blame "forriners" than take responsibility for their own theft of oxygen from the world...

Quick reminder: - Saudi Arabia sponsored the 9/11 attacks - Mohammed bin Salman kills journalists, & asked Russia to support Assad in Syria - Osama bin Laden was a wealthy Saudi - As well as gifting planes to corrupt dictators, Qatar also gave $1.8 billion to Hamas. But hey... Grab those $$$.

When the filthy rich make beautiful promises, telling you they're "on your side", they're not. They are lying. It's your vote that they care about, not you. They will tell you anything to persuade you to put your cross in their box on the ballot paper. Their motivation is power & greater wealth.

Do you remember when we fought fascism, not embraced it? #VEDay
