Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

America will have to live with the shame of what's happening here for years. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Fraser Nelson turned The Spectator from the mess that Johnson had left into a far right rag that dressed up its hate-filled rants as polite argument.

Unbelievable, from the man who did more than anyone else to give Douglas Murray's explicit white ethnonationalism a platform and a bridge to the UK mainstream. archive.ph/LMDiX

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

This man is not sane.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

But Trump isn’t offering any security guarantee!

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

This whole piece, by @jayrayner1.bsky.social is just perfect

Trump wants to gut Social Security but he just spent neatly $11 million in one month of our tax dollars to play golf. Trump is the Marie Antoinette of America--and we all know how that story ended. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Harris called it; Trump sold out Europe, Poland, and the United States to Putin the first chance he got. #TraitorTrump

Timothy Snyder is an expert of modern authoritarianism.

Such sweet music to Putin’s ears! apple.news/AQlS_BtiQQNi...

The last five MPs still siding with Russia. Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for the Putinettes.

What an utter PoS! apple.news/ArvaugEn8QrO...

The latest outrageous overreach from Trump.

The Sun tells us that if we don’t agree with Vance’s speech, we are far left extremists. apple.news/AnQdF5pFjTsG...

Here's the executive order just signed by Trump. One of the defining features of fascism is that the discretionary power of the leader always prevails over the rule of law.

US Trump administration has pressured Romania to remove travel restrictions on Andrew Tate and his brother. They are accused of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. Will Romania capitulate? Anyone doubting how low Trump will sink?

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

Musk is as angry as a hornet at 60 minutes for exposing him and his invasion of our Govt.
