It's quite remarkable that the elite of the British right has chosen *now* as the moment to go blood-and-soil. When the actual public have probably never been as un-racist as they are.

GILEAD has arrived and it’s Trump’s America. Acclaimed “The Handmaid’s Tale” actress, Ever Carradine, and I talk about her role on the show & how women are being subjugated on the regular by the GOP. youtu.be/FSDbPOtV-Yc

High-profile immigration raids are scaring off workers and leaving employers unsure of how they’ll manage without them.

Today’s London Standard has a big report on how the capital “isn’t working”. It blames immigrants, especially Muslims, and the lack of “White British”. It asks “if there’s a minimum number of natives” at which London must give it up its status as the UK capital. www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/lond...

E. Jean Carroll: This is a man who wears apricot makeup, with his hair twirled around his head like Barbara Stanwyck in Ball of Fire. I was so close—I heard almost every single thing he said. The farting—you wanted to know about that? It was a silent one… sort of.

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

Only 85 days ago.

Who'd have thought Germany was standing up to dictatorship when the United States is failing?

Zelensky has said seeing as Donald won't send Ukraine weapons, can he at least give Russia SpaceX rockets instead.

The only business Trump has been successful at is conning people.

“We recently terminated our contract with X due to nonpayment,” Cassie Coccaro, head of communications at Thorn, told NBC News. “And that was after months and months of outreach, flexibility, trying to make it work. And ultimately we had to stop the contract.”

"The point is to intimidate Ukrainians not just through sheer violence (these attacks regularly kill people in their homes), but also through the noise of constant bombardments," writes Kyiv Independent Audience Development Manager Elsa Court in her op-ed.

British decline in one story. Any state which finds itself incapable of managing a project as basic as rolling out a 20th century tech between its biggest cities needs to ask itself some profound questions about what hope it has of managing the technologies of the 21st.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Brutal.

Trump asks the Juventus players standing behind him if women could make their team and tries to bait them into endorsing his transphobia

Trump just shared this alarming text from Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee, effusively praising him while telling him that no president has been in his position "since Truman in 1945" (when the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Japan) & that he "will hear a voice from heaven" telling him what to do.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Trump says he can’t allow Iran to make a nuclear weapon. But Tulsi Gabbard addressed this last quarter, so which of them is lying?

"Trump's message is plain. If you commit violence in his cause, he will have your back...America in 2025 is making political murder easier. This is a choice, not fate." My column. www.ft.com/content/e172...

A discussion among Group of Seven leaders over dinner on Monday did little to move US President Donald Trump toward tougher sanctions on Russia, according to people familiar with the matter.

This is freaking weird. Trump just posted a text message he received from Mike Huckabee, his ambassador to Israel, urging him to attack Iran: “I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven, and that voice is far more important than mine.”

The anti-immigration president is now demanding that everyone leave Iran. Where exactly does he expect the more than 90 million people who live there to go?

For ten minutes, Wilf Frost tried to get Shadow Home Sec Chris Philp to accept the rank hypocrisy in saying his party was totally right not to do something for 14 years AND Starmer totally wrong for not doing it sooner than six months. But it was like arguing with a tenacious parakeet. ~AA

Benefits reform must be pushed through, says UK PM. NO. Disability benefit cuts, two child benefit cap are cruel. Don't scapegoat the poor. How about cutting corporate welfare, profiteering? Decent pay reduces demand for benefits - 37% of universal credit claimants are in work.
