The silence from the Trump admin is deafening…

For Reals

Elon Musk Turns on Trump — The MAGA Empire Is Cracking open.substack.com/pub/levremem...

www.yahoo.com/news/satelli... Burn, baby, burn! I will always love seeing #Ukraine shove their fists up Trump and Putin's ass.

'Where are the deals?' MSNBC host roasts Trump over epic failure to deliver vow www.rawstory.com/trump-trade-... There ain't no deals and there won't be any deals cause no one can trust anyone in the Trump Whitehouse to keep their word on anything! Who can trust a thug when all they do is lie!

It is a very good thing that this is happening in Australia and not the USA where trump would undoubtedly shut it down.

Ukraine smuggle drones into Russian territory, hid them in the floorboards of wooden houses, enlisted Russian truck drivers to unwittingly transport them, then launched an attack which destroyed or seriously damaged over 1/3rd of all Russian missile carriers www.politico.eu/newsletter/b...

BREAKING: Dua Lipa, Benedict Cumberbatch, Annie Lennox, Gary Lineker and other prominent public figures have joined over 300 signatories calling on the UK government to end arms sales to Israel.

🧵1/ Farage: The Russia Links. With a pint in one hand and Putin’s dick in the other, Farage has built a legacy on Russian propaganda and a trail of bullshit faker than his tan. He might be popular, but Ted Bundy was a hit with the ladies and look at how that ended. Strap in 👇🏼

British politics is choice between Labour and Reform, says Keir Starmer www.ft.com/content/bfe4...

Musk’s reign of incompetence and cruelty is over. Now fuck off inews.co.uk/opinion/musk...

Cummings and Farage deserve each other. They’re both utterly ignorant, they’re both boring and predictable, and they both suffer the precise flaws of those they lambast inews.co.uk/opinion/cumm...

Why does the poorly wiped smudge on my tv look like Donald Trump?

"Brexit was a terrible solution to the problem of English identity". www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Just announced: I've been appointed chair of the newly-formed New Humanist editorial board humanists.uk/2025/05/27/i...

Day Four of spinning this out. At what point does it become too stupid for them not to do it? Or is that a dangerous question to ask of this Labour Party?

I've spent a lot of time talking pretty matter-of-factly about Dems almost certainly ending up toe ones to bail out the GOP in the Senate. I've also talked a lot about how watching the Starmer admin in the UK is basically getting to see Kamala's administration at work. It's a dangerous question.

METRO: Farage's Reform party gains momentum, pouncing on Labour's weaknesses while challenging governing norms with a controversial new ‘DOGE unit’ to cut spending. - by Noora Mykkanen

1/2 Guardian: Disabled celebrities urge Keir Starmer to scrap ‘inhumane’ benefit cuts "More than 100 of the UK’s most high-profile disabled people have called on the prime minister to abandon “inhumane and catastrophic plans to cut disability benefits”." www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Farage's latest promise to stop working from home is just another rerun of Tory policies @centralbylines.co.uk

This is awful. Trump cuts CDC’s drowning-prevention team The loss of the CDC’s drowning-prevention unit is one that water safety advocates fear will have a direct impact on children’s safety www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

The 50% drop in net migration just announced will surprise precisely nobody who has been paying attention to the issue, as opposed to exploiting and lying about it for clicks & votes. I doubt the stats will change the toxic narratives of the latter group, though.

'Keir Starmer's EU Deal Is Far Better Than the Media Is Telling You' – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/05/20/k...

‘Keir Starmer’s EU Deal Is Far Better Than the Media Is Telling You’ Much more needs to be done to repair the damage of Brexit, but this is a welcome step in the right direction, argues the Director of the Independent Commission on UK-EU Relations bylinetimes.com/2025/05/20/k...

An island of strangers? Migration and asylum researcher @zoejardiniere.bsky.social dissects what Keir Starmer – and the far-right – both get wrong about immigration policy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDOe...

Definitely in tune with cost-of-living crisis, NOT! Keeps 26 ties! Does he have a hoarding problem? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It’s another example of Starmer failing to read the room. More liberal votes lost, which he can ill afford. At this rate it’s a wipe out for Labour next time.

Scott Galloway hammers Trump as "stupid" and says that he's "blackout drunk" at the "wheel of the global economy" as his tariffs destabilize the world. Trump's sudden tariff reversal enriched his MAGA cronies in the "greatest day of insider trading and grift in history."

Wait... There's a crypto vote in Congress tomorrow? I wonder why none of the cable "news" reported on such a newsworthy law, especially one that directly & personally benefits the sitting president? Cable "News" has been covering the Pope's vote expansively. The crypto vote is way more important.

Every day now is an important day to stand strong with Ukraine against russian agression 🇺🇦 Share this for everybody not to forget that their support is very important for Ukraine🇺🇦🇺🇦

This is what Ukrainian defenders are facing every day🇺🇦
