Under the Trump budget plan just passed by Congress, a staggering 70% of House Republicans would personally financially benefit from extending major tax loopholes. More money for them, paid for by cuts to YOUR benefits.

Marco Rubio has ensured his place in history for war crimes.

Boris Johnson sold British Steel to the Chinese for Ā£1 in 2019. Never forget.

British Steel shut site after Richard Tice's firm threatened to hike rent www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-worl...

So Kemi Badenoch claimed in papers she'd got a deal to save steel jobs. In the House, where misleading the House gets punished, she admits there were only discussions. She does seem to have a difficult relationship with the truth.

Our NHS is not safe in Nigel Farageā€™s hands.

I'm not religious, but to add to this, I grew up with white British women wearing head scarves to protect their hairdos. #FuckRacists

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nationā€™s wealth ā€“ while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

Kemi Badenoch is outraged that Lucy Connelly is still in jail for encouraging people to burn Asylum Seekers alive, while they were doing it. Kemi Badenoch is a disgrace.

Thankfully @maddow.msnbc.com is now not a lone voice. Here Stephanie Ruhle explains why reversing the Trump tariffs won't save the US from global pariah status or steer it way from the road to bankruptcy. MAGA, this *is* what you voted for.

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, ā€œMr Carney, thereā€™s a genocide in Palestineā€. ā€œIā€™m aware,ā€ Carney told the protester, ā€œThatā€™s why we have an arms embargo.ā€ This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

This would mean impeachment if we had a Congress & Senate that functioned as our Framerā€™s & Constitution intended, this was so blatantly illegalā€¦ We have so much work to do!

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

47's beef with China is personal, based on his own business dealings, and I cannot believe we gotta bear the brunt of this shit because grown ass people don't understand why addressing conflicts of interest with corporate titans who want to run the country is important.

Tax the rich and defund Star Link and Space X next along with DOGE.

Americans used to call the Canadian dollar the "northern peso." At the rate it's falling now, Canadians will soon be calling the U.S. dollar the "southern ruble."

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while theyā€™re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, itā€™s legalized corruption.

Tories, the British steel industry butchers. #ukpolitics

Two, of many, things which come to mind here: 1) How is someone convicted of 40 counts of human trafficking only given a 7 years? 2) With politicians consistently framing trafficking as an "immigration issue" it makes it easier for these ones to fly under the radar. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It doesn't matter what you exempt or don't exempt. Now the trust, structure and stability are gone people won't trade. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Leon said yesterday that they found "ppl getting social security that haven't been born yet." No one challenges this bullshit. And magats believe this shit.

Do not obey

Donald Trump is having a $92m military parade for his birthday with tanks in the streets. The liar Piers Morgan said, "In the UK we do it all the time." There has never been a military parade in the streets for a Politician in the UK. NEVER.

This is all ā€˜on the hoofā€™. There is no plan other than ā€˜disrupt the markets, letā€™s see what happens and plug the holes as the et appearā€. Ludicrous Administration! Trump exempts smartphones and computers from new tariffs www.bbc.com/news/article...

No surprises hereā€¦ā€¦. socialistworker.co.uk/in-depth/exc...

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents donā€™t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Come back Jesus!!!

I can guarentee you that if the Green Party had the same Media coverage as Reform they would be top of the polls and Reform would be nowhere.

The Social Security Administration moving exclusively to X means critical updates will now be locked behind a propaganda filled, private platform. Americans shouldn't need an account, or a subscription, to access their benefits.
