👏👏👏👏 Spot on.

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

How long will the MAGA cultists stay inside?

Leopard/face issues.

Why the left lose, part 7547. Omaha (and surrounding areas) have 400,000 registered voters, so 3000 isn't huge. Also, this is BY FAR the most Dem area in a very Rep state. Dedicated activists turning up to rallies does not translate into popular national support. See Corbyn in the UK.

👏👏👏👏

The world is moving back to great game brute power politics, with added transactionality. Depressing.

This is so obvious it seems completely bizarre that senior politicians are apparently thinking this isn't the case. How do they get detached from reality?

Exactly. An enabler, if not a fellow traveller.

#M6N #SixNations #ENGSCO Completely nuts that England are favourites for this game. The last win for England in this fixture at Twickenham was **2017** !!

He absolutely is. It's a weird personality type both Musk and Trump share, isn't it? More money than they could ever spend in a country that worships wealth, and holding arguably the 2 most powerful roles in the world currently, but their egos are so fragile. 🤷‍♂️

👏👏👏👏 Absolutely. Public investment in public transport infrastructure is always multiplied by private sector investment taking advantage of the new connections. It's why the treasury brain obsession with "balancing" applied to investment is so bloody damaging to the country.

👏👏👏👏

Funds for vital health programs around the world remain frozen and their work has not been able to resume, despite a federal judge’s order that temporarily halted the Trump administration’s dismantling of the government’s main foreign aid agency.

It absolutely is. They've been captured by people who seem to genuinely believe what hard right grifters say on Twitter is reflective of most voters. Absolutely nuts.

Comedy gold.

Oh my word. GB News is now reporting that Putin’s invasion was not an invasion but just a ‘military operation’ and that he didn’t want to take over Ukraine. He sent so few troops , he just wanted a ‘negotiation’. Rewriting history, Kremlin style.

Imagine thinking peace with this Russia is sustainable - madness.

Spot on. I read this, and just shook my head. What a stupid decision. What a stupid country.

Labour delivers. 🌹

👏👏👏👏

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

Dark Pence is back.

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

This is why the LibDems aren't serious. Hobhouse here suggests removing the increase to employers NI **but makes no suggestion about what to replace it with**. It's like the Greens and Reform - a complete refusal to deal with the realities of where we are.

It’s the reality TV show/Instagram cabinet, featuring the Transportation Secretary heading to a car race in FL while Kentucky was a disaster site with at least 9 people dead.

Thoroughly recommended.

Absolutely crackers.

Or do away with it, institute a land value tax nationally, and find councils centrally based on need. 🤷‍♂️ A few councils in London have no budgetary pressures, because they have huge business rates income. Having huge chunks of council funding based on accidents of geography is nuts.
