NEW: The White House says it is reviewing how the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic could have accidentally been added to a group text with who appeared to be members of the Trump administration discussing plans to launch airstrikes against Houthi militants in Yemen.

Obscene profiteering..

It's a scary future in this thread. How possible is it that the US as an ally of the 'West' switches its allegiances to Putin? Would the Republican party allow their president to side with Russia against Europe in WWIII? At what point does the American political system consider removing Trump.

#Liverpool draw against Everton and Aston Villa, #Arsenal lose to West Ham.No matter the injuries or red cards, Arsenal have had opportunities to make this a title race and failed to take them

Does Trump want to strip America of its Republic status and turn it into a Monarchy?

You will never believe what happened next at the newspaper that printed this front page.

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

The world is about to change. With increased presence of AI, governments will never really be in control. Whoever controls the message controls the public.

The second BBC 'journalist' I've seen this morning using the word relocate to describe Trumps plan to ethnically cleanse the Gaza strip.

So MLAs and MPs have received a healthy pay rise, and of course, there is plenty of money to cover the cost. Not like healthcare workers who can't get their pay rise from last year because Mike Nesbitt says there are no funds.

Did the patients in the North know she had medication in their names? Is that fraud?

In a post on X, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote, “no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.”

Trump has now asked Elon Musk to examine US defence spending. Elon Musk’s companies have multi billion dollar contracts with the Department of Defense and are seeking more. The BBC’s Today Programme just reported the first part, without mentioning the second. Unacceptable

"Little people" it's this type of sh1t that makes you want to throw up..

I drop into Threads now and again for a bit of variety .. today, Zuckerberg dropped a message reminding me that Trump's backroom is influening at different levels....

Happening now in Boston!! A massive anti-Trump rally calling for an end to Elon’s coup and billionaires controlling our government. This is AMAZING to see.

Palestinians "must be allowed home. They must be allowed to rebuild, and we should be with them in rebuilding on the way to a two state solution," says Keir Starmer, when asked about Donald Trump's call for Gaza to be ethnically cleansed

The A&E Crisis Shows How the NHS Is Getting Worse and the Govt Has No Real Plans to Fix It’. It is a political choice, part of privatisation strategy. Govts that bailout banks & energy companies, fund foreign wars, hand subsidies & tax cuts to corporations/rich can relieve suffering.

'A new challenge' pushing for 5th in the Premier League..

From what I'm reading these days, most are in the £50-100k earning bracket. Anyone earning less than that, the government and politicians don't care about. Importantly, these days, most union reps/delegates are in the higher earning bracket, so don't care either..

Reeves has no problem with this cash influx but is frowning on miss-sold car finance compensation being paid to the public..?

Losing Duran and Watkins, could @astonvillaofficial.bsky.social move for Rashford?
