Three years ago I got involved in a week long twitter spat with Katherine after pointing out that she had misattributed lines from a Budweiser beer commercial to Winston Churchill. Wouldn't have been the end of days if it hadn't been written on the walls of her school. Not a renowned fact checker.

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

All I can say is Trump voters were all warned ! Now they cry about the consequences of their actions which the rest of us have to live with ! l.smartnews.com/p-lQwhRNf/cM...

A very good point this. Lots of state schools in London are fabulous. Birbalsingh is a popular figure on the right because they believe that the state education sector is a feral environment awash with chaos and failure and that her school alone is doing well... not true

I want to go to this party! 👠

1. The Tories knighted Kier Starmer for his work as Head of CPS in prosecuting grooming gangs. 2. Tories had 14 years to instigate an inquiry. 3. Starmer had instigated a rapid review AND instigated an inquiry in 10 months. 4. Grooming gangs are all Kier Starmer’s fault says Badenoch. 5. FFS.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

With RFK Jr putting more crackpots on the CDC board, he's now more dangerous than ever, he needs to resign and take his people with him. This cause is close to my heart - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/rf...

Melissa Hortman just days before her tragic assasination

Sound engineers pointing out in the comments that the applause is from an indoor audience on an outdoor event💀

John Hoffman and Yvette Hoffman were hit by a combined 17 bullets from the Minnesota assassin, and both survived and are now recovering. Yvette shielded their daughter. www.startribune.com/john-hoffman...

At a time when we desperately need to bring down the temperature, the president of the United States is deliberately turning up the heat. His thirst for chaos and division is dangerous and deeply un-American.

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

🤔

Mike Lee is fecal. For his written thoughts on the horror in Minnesota alone, any healthy republic would immediately expel him from its national legislature. That's all. That's the tweet.

AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

⚠️ Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere break new records in human history We know that net zero emission pathways will help us limit global temperature increases. Why are they not a priority for politicians?

- This guy signed a nuclear deal with Iran and put them in check. - Put a leash on Netanyahu. - Sanctioned Russia and stood up to tyrant Putin. - Kept China in line without theatrics. Say what you want, Obama knew how to lead.

This will be a critical week for democracy in court. I founded Democracy Docket for times like this. It doesn't pull punches or engage in false equivalency. It's fiercely independent and always pro-democracy. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Donald Trump ordonne de nouvelles opérations antimigrants à Los Angeles, Chicago et New York. ➡️ https://l.leparisien.fr/tvpF

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

"A document [DHHS] sent to lawmakers to support Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to change U.S. policy on covid vaccines cites scientific studies that are unpublished or under dispute and mischaracterizes others." kffhealthnews.org/news/article... via @kffhealthnews.org

Every Elon Musk tweet is 1,000x more comprehensible if you read it in Phil Daniel’s voice and shout PARKLIFE at the end

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

In 1971 Nicolae Ceaușescu visited North Korea ... saw Juche in action and all the mass spectacles to the cult of the Kims and thought "I'll have a bit of that." Quite obviously Trump’s admiration for Putin and those shows of strength in Moscow every year have had a similar impact on turnip-brain.

Think the biggest area of gross negligence from Sunak and Hunt in the dying days of their govt was cutting NI *twice* when they *knew* how totally fucked the public sector was, prisons in particular. But we look back and are supposed to think they were the 'sensibles' in the Tory party. No thanks.

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness

LMFAO 😂 it’s zero people for the 🤡 clown show.

Shrink from it? He can hardly wait to deliver for his investors.

#NoKings New York

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

It is extraordinary, but grimly inevitable, that the people most responsible for hobbling the UK have become the loudest & whiniest critics of the consequences of their own actions. A big part of the process lies in people like ‘Lord’ Hannan actually being *rewarded* for their ignorant delinquency.

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

Israel has the world’s largest per capita nuclear stockpile, has never signed a non-proliferation treaty, has never been inspected by the IAEA — and their nukes are controlled by a man wanted for war crimes by the ICC. But sure, tell us more about “good guys” vs “bad guys”.

This pup deserves treats for life!!🦴💙🩵

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.
