Late to this news Tristan and Andrew Tate currently on a flight to the USA after their travel ban was suddenly lifted by the Romanian authorities I wonder what Donald Trump sees in a pair of alleged rapists who get their jollies from battering trafficked women? news.sky.com/story/andrew...

First measles death in 10 years. A parent fed lies about vaccines ended up getting their own kid killed.

There’s a recorded measles related death of a young child in red state Texas. MAGA Chaos agent anti-vax fraudster RFK Jr lied by saying it’s not unusual and measles outbreaks happen all the time. There hasn’t been a Measles death in the US in a decade. They want to kill us all.

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to. #Resist

Voter suppression is rarely sold by politicians as such. Instead it comes by way of logistical challenges such as reducing the number of ballot boxes in communities of color in Georgia, intimidation by “poll watchers” in Texas, or restrictive voter I.D. laws.

Oh great. Now LGBTQ people are going to put under surveillance in the US. I hate JK Rowling with the power of a thousand suns. I don’t want to hear one more single fucking thing about toilets or changing rooms. You’ve led us to this door. Go fuck yourselves.

“We have not heard a single concrete number of the amount of waste and abuse...identified. There’s...this vague magic wand around waste. What’s being suggested is that-people seeing the doctor is a waste...These are peoples’ lives that are on the line and we cannot laugh them away.” AOC More here:

Did Elon Musk really just say "one of the things we accidentally cancelled was Ebola prevention”?? Heaven help America

The EU wasn’t set up to screw the US. It was established, in early forms, to prevent another war in Europe. The US pushed the birth of the EEC as a condition of post war reconstruction assistance, also encouraging integration in the hope it would deter communism. You’re welcome.

That Trump Gaza video may be the most disgusting thing from a politician I've ever seen.

Today Congressman Mark Pocan TOOK THE GLOVES OFF. “Donald Trump is full of shit…and he needs to get the fuck out of Mar-a-Lago and talk to real people. “Elon Musk is a grifter. He makes Donald Trump look like elementary school level grifter. This guy has a PHD in theft from the American people.”

Greene: Those are not real jobs producing federal revenue. Federal employees do not deserve their jobs. Federal employees do not deserve their paycheck

Radio 4 reporting this morning that Tesla sales have plummeted by 50% across Europe.

New law to ban bonuses for polluting water bosses in England, says UK govt. Unenforceable, as I said in parliament. Thames Water has said that it will circumvent by increasing base pay of bosses. Best options are customer-elected directors on company boards, customer vote on exec pay.

How the fuck are the Tories up? What's wrong with people?

This is completely insane, utterly reprehensible & hideous. Donald Trump has shared a bizarre AI video sharing his vision to turn Gaza into a beach resort complete with a giant golden statue of himself in the heart of a revitalised city devoid of traces of all Palestinian culture

💥NEW MEGAPOLL: A whopping 66% of Brits support a UK-EU youth mobility scheme, according to our latest MRP with YouGov. A majority in *all* constituencies would support such a scheme. Yes, that includes Reform UK constituencies. 🧵👇1/ www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Trump is promoting a truly sick AI video of what Gaza will look like once it's turned into a resort (and all that nasty inconvenient war rubble has been bulldozed away). And this is who Starmer's supposed to be meeting tomorrow?!?

Three different federal judges delivered legal setbacks and slap downs to Trump in the span of an hour and a half today in a series of cases challenging controversial moves taken during the early days of his second term. The rulings are the latest to pump the brakes on Trump’s agenda.

A senior US government official has called for “lower quality humans” to be sterilised en masse. It’s disgusting & terrifying. And America has been here before.

Tesla sales sink 45 percent in Europe Oh dear www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Republicans do NOT have the votes to pass their budget resolution tonight and they have just pulled it.

This is insane

@stealthygeek.bsky.social: “Democrats should be running daily press briefings from a shadow White House pool of the legitimate news agencies which have been locked out by the Trump coup. Their audiences will get real news, Dems will regain some messaging control. Why is this not already happening?”

Jeffries: "Republicans are not the party of fiscal responsibility. Stop trying to convince the American people otherwise. In fact, during Trump's first 4 years, the debt exploded to such a degree that 25% of our nation's debt came from just the first term of President Donald Trump."

Jeffries: And don't come to the house floor and act like this was being done in the fiscal responsibility. Enough. There is nothing in the Republican track record to suggest to the American people that you are the party of fiscal responsibility. Absolutely nothing.

There’s a civil war going on in America, even though we don’t know it. It’s being fought in every government department, between resistors to, and accomplices to, autocracy. It’s being waged in the courts, in the media, and civil society. And it’s not over

‘Musk stunned as over 20 DOGE staff suddenly QUIT with scathing letter’ DOGE workers are revolting against Elon Musk and Donald Trump by signing a dramatic resignation letter vowing not to defund 'public services.'

BREAKING: Two planes nearly collided on the runway at Chicago’s Midway Airport thanks to King MuskTrump gutting the FAA & freezing flight control hiring. You are not safe to travel under Trump. And TODAY the House is voting to strip healthcare from 82M Americans!!! #DontCutOurMedicaid

NEW: Trump’s press secretary just said Elon Musk will be attending Trump’s 1st Cabinet meeting even though he’s not part of the Cabinet. Musk bought his way into power! This is what an oligarchy looks like. And the House votes today to strip 82M Americans of their coverage! Don't Cut Our Medicaid

BREAKING: Trump SEIZES control of media covering him Now, only Trump-approved press outlets will be allowed into the White House to ask questions This is NOT democracy - and it's NOT a republic. It's a MONARCHY or a DICTATORSHIP - giving pretend access to ask pretend questions
