Musk spent millions on Trump's campaign, he spoke at Trump's rallies, he turned Twitter into a Trump fan club, he worked in Trump's government, he championed Trump's policies. This man did everything he could to get Trump into the White House. The world will never let him forget it.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

With the new bridge opening up, I was reminded of the proposed Derwent Valley rail trail which seemed like a brilliant idea. Anyone know if it ever got past the brochure stage? bicyclenetwork.com.au/our-advocacy...

After Hegseth’s order to rename the USNS Harvey Milk… yes, Hegseth is the human equivalent of a vodka-soaked gumwad stuck to the bottom of your shoe. But better to remember and celebrate Milk, a soldier/activist/champion of individual rights. Celebrate humanity. www.thepinknews.com/2025/05/22/h...

"Rule breaking is only a problem for those at the bottom." Michelle Mone, Matt Hancock, Boris Johnson, Robert Jenrick. Clearly it is true.

If Michelle Mone was a poor person who had defrauded the Government of £230m, the Government would have seized every penny and she would be doing 14 years in prison (the maximum). Tell me I'm wrong.
