@jacobjarvis.bsky.social @nndroid.bsky.social Has @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com accidentally revealed a new podcast suggestion "Lunch with..."

A question that no-one in Whitehall dare ask. What happens if Trump decides to turn off Britain's nukes? A column in the FT... www.ft.com/content/762c...

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

@arcticvelocipedist.bsky.social Just to help you, this is what the English health services says, www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

The Telegraph has become nothing more than a national embarrassment

@arcticvelocipedist.bsky.social @danceswithseagulls.bsky.social Something to amuse you, an Alaskan has made a petition about asking that a unnamed mountain to be renamed after the person who shot President McKinley. www.change.org/p/officially...

🇪🇺🇬🇧 Brits support a European army - 46% in favour, 28% against New polling from YouGov

Crucial to remember that, just as with the last government, New New Labour DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEAS of their own! They've got nothing!

I have been the synopsis for #Mickey17, and thought it would be just a copy of @manmademoon.bsky.social's #Moon. Why?

New: "Marjorie Taylor Greene Bought Tesla Stock After Named As Chair Of DOGE Subcommittee" me, for @forbes.com

@davidandress.bsky.social One newspaper headlined the fact that King Charles is heading to America to drum up support for Britain for Trump. Fine, two things. One, Charles is King of Canada, which Trump was threatening to annex, secondly Americans do have an Anglophobic streak.

They aren't "concessions", they're favours for a friend.

Hegseth's Rammstein speech is a watershed moment for Europe. It means the USA is no longer a reliable ally, even if its democracy survives ... 1/ ... but Hegseth is right on one thing. We now have to spend a lot more on defence 🧵

You don't need ChatGPT to tell you the real reason why Keir Starmer refused to sign the AI summit communique. Nothing to do with it being too "restrictive", and everything to do with prostrating Britain before Trump. But that is bound to have consquences for his Brexit reset. My latest

The campaign manager for Green Presidential candidate Jill Stein admitting the aim was to elect Trump.

Latvia’s Prosecutor General’s Office has opened a criminal case against the officials responsible for the implementation of the Rail Baltica project. The reason? Losses to the state budget due to the cost overruns #highspeedrail #CrossBorderRail www.delfi.lt/a/120073187

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

You know what we need to build, build, build? The grid, pylons, wind farms, solar farms and the rest that are essential to decarbonising our economy. If you’re serious about tackling climate change you have to be serious about building (not something the Green Party seem to have noticed)
