Never underestimate the historical importance of complete incompetence 🙈 "U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that an entry code in the U.S. system isn’t working. As a result, no tariffs are being collected by the U.S. government for the time being." #MAGAmerica

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

Tory leader Badenoch claimed a day before the Westminster debate that she had "negotiated a modernisation plan" with British Steel. Under questioning from Business secretary Jonathan Reynolds, she was forced to admit no deal was on the table. She had lied. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Well it isn't. And that's right about Eostre. Or is the Telegraph disputing these points?

Ah lovely. Another bag of rubbish gets tipped into the House of Lords. The place must absolutely reek of stale Tory failure, corruption and abuse of power. Honours handed out like sweeties to some of the most undeserving, underachieving, overpromoted clowns and liars to have ever held public office.

Welcome to the Theocracy. The Christian Taliban salutes you.

Maybe, just maybe it's a really bad thing when Russian state TV is praising the American president for ruining America's economy.

😂

America Last, Putin First

Xi: “You don’t have all the cards.”

This is chilling. It sounds like something that would be written in wrought iron above the gate of a concentration camp. #MAGAmerica

They are obviously slow learners

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

It’s Amazing What White Evangelicals Are Willing To Ignore….

😂

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

Let’s make sure they all hear about it…👇 You know what to do. 😎✨

Can we have an “economic prosperity deal” with the EU first please Labour.

BREAKING: China raises tariffs on all US goods from 84% to 125% with effect from April 12 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is great news from the EU! 🇪🇺 It's finally taking the attack on our democracy seriously ... "from rising threats posed by INTERNAL and FOREIGN actors" ... and it's putting together a range of countermeasures against online disinformation, including an EU wide network of fact checkers! 🇪🇺

Can Reform possibly make themselves look any worse! Actually Farage would take that as a challenge! #NeverVoteReform

Trump Is Already Undermining the Next Election www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

bbc.com/news/article... Lost confidence in her ability to lie on behalf of Vance and the Trump administration is more accurate...

I always thought that song "American idiot " by Green Day was a little bit unfair. Not any more.

The EU doesn’t really do knee-jerk reactions. And when it comes to trade wars, it prepares its case, builds a consensus among its members — and saves its most painful retaliation until last. 🔗 ow.ly/JmHE50VyJsB

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.

One man is standing up for the rule of law in Britain. His reward is to be savagely attacked by right wing think tanks, newspapers & politicians. They understand where the battle against populism is taking place. And they've marshalled their forces accordingly. iandunt.substack.com/p/a-good-man...

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

1. Whenever you see really vicious and widespread "spontaneous" attacks on scientific findings that challenge powerful economic interests, you can be assured that corporate lobbyists have been busy behind the scenes. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So much wrong in 11 words. US Health Secretary RFK Jr: “By September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic.” And sounds like the conclusion has already been decided.

This cunt should be in jail

North Korea-esque.
