Oh. Joe Kasper, Pete Hegseth's Chief of Staff, resigns. Can't wait to hear the backstory on this one. 🍿

🧵 Reading the headline, you might be tempted to think the EU opposes cross-border cooperation. Reading the article, you realise they want more, but are willing to limit its duration & scope to make it acceptable for Labour. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

ICYMI — Maddow runs through the 100 day Fox/YouGov numbers on Trump’s approval—a total disaster for him. This one stood out for me: Q: “Can Trump ignore SCOTUS if he thinks they overstep constitutional authority?” A: NO — by a 49-point margin. Americans aren’t quite ready to crown Trump king.

In America…universities advise foreign students to have “personal care packages” and arrangements to have kids picked up from school/daycare if they’re detained. In America…my head hurts. on.ft.com/4jpXpfs Trump, Vance and the attack on American universities

Nigel Farage defends allowing US chlorinated chicken into UK as part of trade deal. Farage/Reform want US style insurance-based healthcare; lower food/environmental standards, worker/consumer rights; return to gold standard, benefit cuts. Who in their right mind wants this.

Disinformation is official White House policy. Lies & ideology take the place of truth. @martinmckee.bsky.social @kentbuse.bsky.social & I warned of exactly this in November. It's happened even faster & even more emphatically than we feared. It's extremely dangerous. www.bmj.com/content/387/...

There are lots of chilling aspects of the Trump v Harvard story. But the one I find most dangerous is the equation of American foreign policy with American values thereby outlawing peaceful opposition and, yes, freedom of expression. Harvard can win albeit with its institution damaged. Others?

I’ve been aware of these pressures on vets for sometime, and seen evidence that pet owners are being given poor advice in some cases. The involvement of the insurance industry makes it easier for vets to justify to themselves suggesting unnecessary treatments. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not enjoying the JD Vance piece on #r4today.. “There was a strong sense he sees Britain as something rather different from Europe, wasn’t there?” Of course. We’re much more desperate and exploitable on our own. Stop looking for a ‘special relationship’ in the fake flattery of ugly nationalists.

The entire ballgame, folks. Unconstrained fascism on display in the Oval Office. Either we’re a Republic of laws & constitution, or not. It’s increasingly obvious which one it is. Total, complete failure of Article I.

With Trump’s trade war threatening to leave Norway in the crossfire of US-EU sanctions, Norway is facing a similar moment of truth about EU membership as Finland and Sweden did with regard to NATO 3 years earlier. I argue that it’s time to make it official - for a strong Norden in the EU

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

We think that the Govan Sunstone is also an example of early medieval peoples, in this case the Strathclyde Britons, recarving prehistoric stones to make them Christian monuments! Our theory is that the Sunstone was a prehistoric standing stone that was repurposed in the 9th or 10th century.

38% of people living in Mike Johnson's district were enrolled in Medicaid last year. Yet Johnson is pushing for devastating cuts to Medicaid — all to pay for tax cuts that will predominantly go to the rich. Is there a better encapsulation of the Republican Party?

Larry Kudlow brings Rand Paul on his show to make the case against tariffs and hopefully stage an intervention for Trump

House Democrats just formally introduced our joint resolution to terminate Trump's April 2nd declaration of emergency, which would eliminate the tariffs he announced last Wednesday.

They are all so angry.

Juste la dernière phrase d'une intervention de Cory Booker : "Ce que dit Donald Trump, c'est "ne vous demandez pas ce que votre pays peut faire pour vous, demandez vous ce que vous pouvez faire pour Donald Trump"" C'est tellement ça !

Fantastic graphic from the WSJ. Trump just increased the price of a iPhone by nearly 60 percent. Obviously completely unsustainable so won’t be sustained. An American Liz Truss moment

Fox has mysteriously dropped the stock market ticker running on all its shows. #NorthKoreaShit

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment? They utterly failed the test of history.

Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive” Theft is not a valid alternative.

Kevin Young, the director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), is not currently leading the museum and has been on personal leave as of March 14, according to an internal email obtained by The Post.

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink

Cory Booker's floor speech began at 7PM. Midnight now, still going strong. Fascism = dehumanization. It's fueled by sadism, based on cruelty, & sees others as less than human. At this moment: Booker & Chris Murphy showing their humanity is 💯 fascism's antidote. Whether they even realize it.
