🇺🇸 "Trump is threatening us with 50% (tariffs), this is classic Trump, changing the terms of a deal he had already agreed" 🔸 Davey rightly questions the volatility of the President. 🇪🇺 To give Britain's businesses the confidence they need to invest we need a reliable partner; the EU.

I think the word "important" is overused when it comes to the publication of words. It should be used sparingly. This new piece of research from @teraallas.bsky.social and co-author Dimitri Zenghellis is important. www.productivity.ac.uk/news/mind-th... It explains weak UK productivity. 1/

I see Honest Bob Jenrick has a new little video attacking barristers for representing unpopular clients. Once again for those at the back: Lawyers are not their clients. Which is how, when Jenrick broke the law in government, he had lawyers to defend him.

🇺🇦 “This was truly a unique operation. And now I can say: the ‘office’ for this op inside Russia was located right next to an FSB headquarters. 117 drones were used, striking 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers at key airbases. Our teams were safely extracted in advance." — Zelensky

Rubio's administration is currently incarcerating people for op-eds and constitutionally-protected protest. They've sent people to a foreign gulag for having tattoos. If rest of the world applied this rule, Rubio would be barred from traveling outside the US for violating US speech protections.

People need to understand what this means: If you steal $10 million, Trump will punish you with a $1 million fine that effectively goes into his pocket -- and that's it. The penalty for stealing $10 million is a $1 million fine. See the problem?

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

This is 🏆 “The problem with speaking up for each other is that everyone is left without a voice.” What I heard here: the struggles of the oppressed are only taken seriously or heard through the voices of their oppressors.

Phang: If you see claims that those convictions have been overturned on appeal — it’s bullshit. They have not been overturned on appeal. I have no idea—strike that—I have every idea where that comes from. It comes from stupid, far-right people who don’t know how to read and don’t know the law.

It’s not possible for “illegal” immigrants to receive federal benefits like Medicaid. There are no examples of this happening; they just keep lying about it as an excuse to take healthcare from vulnerable Americans. I don’t understand why mainstream media chooses not to push back on this obvious lie

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.
