#Reform The dogs have caught the car. Now what?

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I love that Trump basically won the Canadian Liberal Party another term - everything he touches breaks!

Next time someone goes into space, can it be Andrew Windsor, please? But don't come back after 11 minutes, just keep going outwards!

The real division? Money Vs Democracy. Let's make sure we all win.

Just a reminder to all US citizens: The Republicans gave you Trump. Not once, but twice. There is no excuse for putting him in the White House twice. There are no good Republicans. There just isn't!

I read it…

FLEXPORT: “.. In the 3 weeks since the tariffs took effect, ocean container bookings from China to the United States are down over 60% industry wide.” #SummerOfScarcity 🇺🇸

A private workshop took place last month in Washington DC, hosted by the Heritage Foundation... ...to discuss proposals by European right-wing lobby groups to dismantle the European Union and the European Court of Justice.

incredible scenes when you have a president who hasn't achieved object permanence

IN CONTEMPT! (I personally verified this is indeed an actual post from the official White House account on X.) Trump has nothing but contempt for the Constitution, the Courts, Congress, Civil Rights, the Rule of Law or any American not loyal to him. He will destroy everything if we let him.

Lyndsey Fox is Reform UK’s candidate in Bishop Auckland, County Durham. She was a Conservative Councillor for Spennymoor Town Council but was kicked out of her position last year for non attendance. The local branch is not happy about her selection…

Reform UK Easter reading: "I was hungry and you said I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you told me to fuck off back where I came from, I was sick and you said we need an insurance based healthcare system..."

You just can't keep this guy out of the mines. Such a grafter!

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

How much did the Fanta Fascist and his family make on selling shares shortly before he crashed the world's economy and then buying it all back shortly before he paused the tariffs again. The next 4 years will just he him and his doing insider trading on an unprecedented (and un-presidented) scale.

Jeez. President Donald Trump signed his latest executive order against a prominent law firm, this time targeting Susman Godfrey, which represents Dominion Voting Systems in defamation cases related to the 2020 US election www.reuters.com/legal/trump-...

Insider trading much? Didn’t Martha Stewart go to prison for that? Just curious 🤔 Good morning all!

Pictures taken in the same room, a couple of months apart. Tell me again how the Amber Authoritarian is cutting government waste!

Imagine being MAGA, railing against Bidenomics for years, and then seeing what you've inflicted on the world by electing this massive clown. I know we're not meant to say it, but anyone who say they're MAGA is just someone who misspelled MORON.

The full Late Show with Stephen Colbert interview with Senator Cory Booker. It is fantastic It gives me hope. #HandsOff youtu.be/WODiYBR_184?...

In the UK if you work you get taxed at 47%, if you don't work you get taxed at 20%. If you don't work and you sign a bit of paper to say all your assets are in a Tax Haven you pay 0%.

Liz Truss isn't looking so bad now after all, is she @mrjamesob.bsky.social ? (She is. I know she is!) #Tariffs #Lettuce #Trump

This is EXACTLY what they said during Brexit "we'll have cheaper goods on day one"... we're still waiting, prices have only gone up. Exactly the same thing in USA: Trump before election "...cheaper prices on day one, ending the war in Ukraine and in Gaza, on day one"... we're still waiting. #Tariffs
