And then I wondered … had Pete Hegseth really meant to text me the state secrets?

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests. So, best we share all the footage we can here! This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu. 🇹🇷 #Turkey

I wrote this in July 2016 www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Truer words were never spoken.

Empathy, or the lack thereof

Joe Biden on life support would have been better than this

Seems to be working just fine with the current cabinet.

The USA is not a place I feel inclined to visit anymore…

She's an idiot. They used to have "chicken pox parties" because a) there was no vaccine then, b) it's much safer to get chicken pox when you're a child than wait and eventually get it as an adult (when it can be deadly). Measles is a much more dangerous disease. And there's a vaccine.

Is musk a scam?

This is the MOST DELICIOUSLY EMBARRASSING THING you will see all week, if not all month. Richard Tice car crash in Scotland. He doesn't know the full names of the two Reform UK defectors or which council they are from. It truly deserves to go viral.

"Some random country that hasn't fought a war in 40 years..." Over 500 dead British and French personnel (more than 1,000 total European fatalities) and c10,000 injured in Afghanistan 2001-2021. The only time Article 5 has been invoked. 'Disrespect' does not reside in lack of a suit, Mr Vance. ~AA

Sunday’s @thetimes.com cartoon times.newsprints.co.uk/morten-morla...

Important to take the week as a whole. Statement from Dominic Grieve:

In January 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt answered the "America First" of his day - and foresaw the "America First" of ours: "We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests."

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

There is a Western alliance still, but America’s not part of it.

80% of German VOTERS went for parties that promised to have nothing to do with the AFD... MEDIA: Huge win for AFD!

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

Nobody will ever sell Britain out quite like the Far Right will. It's amazing how keen they were to "get our country back", only to gift wrap it and hand it over to dictators and bullies. Traitors with itchy fists and very poor impulse control.

I’m not sure you can spend the last decade painting anyone who still supports membership of a trading partnership as a traitor then pivot to “we must give the authoritarian invader of Europe everything he wants” and not expect a teensy bit of Quisling chat back, if I’m honest.

I think what I find so repellent about the far-right is the sheer nihilism at its core. For all the talk of culture and identity, they are just flimsy masks strapped over, in Arendt's words "the intoxication of destruction as an actual experience, dreaming the stupid dream of producing the void.”

This is Munich the last time we let far-right ideas go way too far in Europe. Let's not cross the point of no return once more. 📹British Pathé

So much for free speech. Let's make this cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social go viral. I'm married to @tealcartoons.bsky.social so I might be biased, but cartoons have long played a vital role in shaping political debate - both past and present. This type of censorship is deeply troubling.

Managing Director of Food at M&S comes out with a PUNCHY statement on how Brexit bureaucracy is impacting their business.

I never, ever want google to show me searches I did in the past. The person who searched for those things is dead.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

If US politics is now at a point where it is apparently OK if it is just cosplaying Mussolini then EU policymakers need to rethink Transatlantic relations even more than they are already

Over 400,000 Americans died fighting the horrors of fascism in WWII—now we have Trump henchmen mimicking a Nazi salute? It’s a disgusting insult to their sacrifice and a chilling sign of where we’re headed.

Torben Lütjen heute in der @faznet.bsky.social zum Inaugural Day Trumps. 😫

What the hell was that salute?

Trump's right hand man (literally) just casually giving the Nazi salute... twice.
