Say what you will about President Biden, he never told me I should only buy 5 pencils or 2 dolls for my kids.

Trump: "I could announce 50 to 100 deals right now because I'm the shopkeeper and I keep the store. I know what countries are looking for and I know what we're looking for and I can just set those terms and they can go shopping or they don't have to go shopping, because everybody wants to shop here"

Trump on Letitia James: "She's a disaster for New York. She's a horrible, horrible human being. And I think she's a total crook. There's no question about it. But that's just my opinion. Pam is gonna have to do what she wants. She's a very bad person ... she's a sick person."

Having Trump as president during a hot war between India and Pakistan, both nuclear powers, is a nightmare.

None of what he's saying makes any sense. It's just pure gibberish from a profoundly addled mind. This flargle-blargle isn't going to help consumer confidence. Or anything.

Travelers who don’t have a Real ID, passport or other federally recognized document will face additional security screening at U.S. airports on Wednesday but will still be able to fly, Kristi Noem, the secretary of homeland security, said on Tuesday.

NASHVILLE: “We’re doing everything right to have a better life.” Here LEGALLY, her husband is missing after the ICE/@TNHighwayPatrol raids. She’s selling her car to pay for an attorney. @GovBillLee @TNDeptofSafety who is this helping? Shameful. Full: www.newschannel5.com/news/wife-de...

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

Seriously...

REPORTER: What's the top concession you want out of Canada? TRUMP: Friendship REPORTER: That's not a concession

Andrea Jenkyns walks away from an interview with #C4News when she is asked how she's going to move asylum seekers out of hotels into tents

REPORTER: Do you support Israel's plan to conquer Gaza? TRUMP: These are very strange questions. I never like when they read them off of machines. Who is sending in a question to you? Let's not talk about that now. We're talking about the World Cup.

BESSENT: The price of eggs was up substantially during the Biden administration. It has been brought down 52% in the past few months. BISHOP: It just went up the past two months. I just told you. Since January. 26%.

watch Carney's reaction as Trump claims America doesn't "do much business" with Canada

"At first glance, the corruption of the DOJ is a boon to people like DeSantis, an assurance that the AG will look the other way even when obvious criming is going on. But that corruption comes with an inherent risk: what happens if Trump decides he doesn’t like you any longer?"

President Trump, "We don't do much business with Canada" PM Mark Carney, "Canada is the largest client of the United States" Trump fact-checked in real time 👏

I left Twitter despite having a following of over a quarter of a million people who cared about the NHS, because it became impossible to talk to people there. I told BlueSky and you amazing folk are helping me to find a brilliant new gang! Thank you so much I hope this keeps going… 🥰🌟💙

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

Our simpleminded Attorney General thought it a good idea to go on TV and expressly state that she is promoting "cruel and unusual punishment" (in violation of the 8th Amendment) and denial of due process (in violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments). Can't wait until transcripts appear in courts.

Ministers admit failing to assess impact of thousands of NHS job cuts in England. Why the rush to join Trumpism and own goals? Robust policies can't be developed without consideration of impact on human welfare. The govt must suspend the cuts and rethink.

Newark airport is currently in meltdown, but don't fret -- fresh off a Fox appearance, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is now kissing Trump's ass at a World Cup meeting

from today's post, about Donny Two-Doll's fuckbrained idea of reopening Alcatraz. thanks for reading! link to the whole ball of wax is here: bit.ly/4jRxSvJ (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

It's tough to overstate just how shockingly unusual an article like this is. Despite the fact that this is the response of the vast, vast majority of neighbours for both wind and solar farms, they are mostly erased from existence in coverage of attitudes of neighbours to utility-scale renewables

£4.8 billion - how much UK will gain annually with new trade deal with India £140 billion - how much UK loses out annually by being outside the EU Single Market

I have something very personal to share with you. Next month, my new graphic memoir, IT RHYMES WITH TAKEI, will pull back the curtain on my life in the closet—and my pivotal decision to come out. It’s never too late to stand up for who you are. More info: ow.ly/rEO750VEuxt

I’m torn between writing about the build-up to the US midterms and ignoring it because I don’t think there will be a free and fair election and writing about it only normalises an abnormal situation. Thoughts?

He throws around tariffs like “a monkey throws dung.” 😂

"We are now in a position in which Republican colleagues are not allowed to say whether or not they support or oppose an amendment" -- bizarre scenes at the House Committee on Natural Resources as Republicans refuse to engage with Joe Neguse's questions & instead sit in silence

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American. If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

I love that Prime Minister Mark Carney came to the United States specifically to tell the orange convicted felon bully to his face that Canada isn’t for sale.

VANCE: We'll have visitors from close to 100 countries. We want them to come, we want them to celebrate, we want them to watch the games. But when the time is up, they'll have to go home, otherwise they'll have to talk to Secretary Noem AUDIENCE: 🦗😳🦗😳

Chilling update in the escalating war on birth control:

I am so tired of hearing his cult say “he doesn’t even take a salary”. He doesn’t need to—he’s using the office to make money hand over fist. Which I’m pretty sure is illegal.

A commenter on the MeidasTouch YouTube channel has a suggestion

UNDERWOOD: Do you believe that the US government has the authority to deport American citizens NOEM: No, and we are not deporting US citizens UNDERWOOD: Several American citizens have been deported

Starmer warned benefit cuts could be ‘as toxic’ as axing winter fuel allowance as 800,000 miss out www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election. Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

Thousands of UK companies break the law every day and nobody stops them. Fraud, tax abuse, false accounts…all ignored. Here’s how that neglect is costing us billions – and why no one’s fixing it.

Enough with the all lives matter bullshit. The west sits on its hands if the victims of starvation, ethnic cleansing and genocide are not white.

You have questions, we have answers. Our experts fielded some of the common questions we've received about the first 100 days of Trump's presidency.
