They really thought we had one big group chat where we shared our liberation plans lol abcnews.go.com/Politics/fbi...

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

The White House Press Secretary has said the information in the group chat was NOT classified. Jeffrey Goldberg has the all clear to publish everything now. Let’s go!

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

Books

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape? Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

By claiming protesters are “funded,” he uses a propaganda tactic to delegitimize movements, implying real dissent doesn’t exist. It’s a way to dismiss activism as fake while justifying repression. Do not back down. Peaceful protest if your first amendment right. He’s just weak, pitiful & scared #3E

Brilliant quote in All The President’s Men. “If you’ve got them by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow”. Seems a great fit for Putin & Trump

🎯

Had a touch this afternoon! Was going to pay £4.99 to buy “French Connection” but then found it on IPlayer. Gene Hackman et al still brilliant more than 50yrs on!

A message to the media: “If you will not report on these protests we will bring them to your fucking door” #3E #USprotests

'I paid over £1m in tax last year. I could pay more, but where does it end?' Caller Daniel is 'bored' of people ringing up to argue the rich should 'pay more tax'. @matthew-wright.bsky.social has plenty to say in response.

No matter how they seek to wriggle away from previous statements eg Farage admiring Putin, Aaron saying Hitler was “brilliant” and Assad was “gentle by nature”, they undoubtedly have given the game away. Surely peak of Reform Ltd has been reached?

Listening to Mathew Wright on LBC. Feel strongly HMRC should go after £billionaires but it is right to start with royal family who apparently have volunteered to pay income tax but as yet haven’t bothered. Surely they can’t move their wealth to BVI?

To help pay for increased defence budget could govt consider taking control of payment processing eg PayPal etc. Decline of cash means tech co’s take a clip from all transactions. Profits could be redirected to treasury instead of tech bro’s.

Brexit support is collapsing—not just because people are changing their minds, but because of demographics. Younger voters overwhelmingly reject Brexit, yet Labour remains stubbornly cautious. How long can they ignore this shift? @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Instead of cutting Welfare can’t the rich just pay their taxes to increase defence spending?

Is the Fentynal issue a distraction while someone has advised Trump his trade war won’t help him?

I think I would be happier if Trump wasn’t calling Starmer “nice”. Can feel a sucker punch coming.

If I were to consider boycotting US items as token protest I wouldn’t know where to start. Any clues?

Reeves saying Labour could learn from Trump is stomach churning. There is nothing good he could teach anyone

The UK needs the EU

Ed Davey becoming more impressive standing up,speaking out about danger of Trump, Musk & reminding us about positives of Europe.

Please come over and follow my horseracing & other views on Bluesky. DaveNevison.Bsky.social

Hopefully a few more people send the same message to Trump as the Danish guy did today.

No tips tomorrow from me as been in the sky all day. Be back on Thursday. Plenty other opinions on RacingTV.com

Finally here on Bluesky. Looking forward to meeting a new crowd as well as old friends

Good morning. Just signed up as a refugee from X! I will start following a few of you through the next few days
