Dear journalists. When the US President is openly accused of paedophilia the story is either impeachment or defamation. If not, the story is how words have lost all meaning, truth has lost all value, and journalists are now completely desensitised to lying and corruption.

ICE is detaining people in LA in a basement with no beds, no air, no light and not enough food and water. These are crimes.

US: “Does @MarshaBlackburn’s (Secret Police bill) give away that naming ICE agents isn’t actually illegal?” NASHVILLE Mayor @freddieoconnell.bsky.social : “I haven’t even looked at the bill.” It would lock people up for 5 years for naming a masked ICE agent. What are they so ashamed of?

In his first term, it was the myth of the savvy businessman. As he ran for his second, it was the myth of the "strong leader." But now, Trump’s entire persona is crumbling in real-time as he struggles to hide his profound weakness as a leader.

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!

If Labour allow it, Thames Water will operate as a polluters' paradise post-takeover. And you can bet other water firms will stampede to demand the same leniency, citing unfair competition. Stay vigilant! This must not happen. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Joe Biden was old and not fully competent and his staff covered it up. Big scandal. Donald Trump was accused by his top donor and former top ‘Special Government Employee’ of being a pedophile. So are his staff covering that up? Isn’t that, y’know, a bigger scandal?

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

The return of Abrego-Garcia to face due process in the US, after Trump officials swore he would never ever return to the US, is a reminder that politics matters and pressure works. Don’t give up. Don’t let the fascists relax.

Hello, former newspaper editor here. You'd have to be astoundingly stupid and incompetent to have printed this story. Unfortunately that describes the majority of the Telegraph's leadership.

“the DWP said it did not know how many of the 95,000 care for someone who also scored below four points in each daily living category of their PIP assessment” Of course they don’t know because no one bothers to keep good data on unpaid carers. No one wants to know who we are.

Deeply unserious from Zia Yusuf. Running away in a strop, being roundly insulted by everyone in the party, only to crawl back 48 hours later, is incredibly embarrassing behaviour

I still can't bear to think about the damage the UK did to itself in 2016. This is a tiny thing, but just typical of the way a group of countries working together can make every day life just a little bit better.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.
