House Republicans unveil Medicaid cuts that Democrats warn will leave millions without care. Democrats said the cuts are “shameful” and essentially amount to another attempt to repeal Obamacare. #MomSky apnews.com/article/medi...

Those who are uncomfortable with this Labour immigration announcement, but think it's necessary to satisfy Reform voters, this is for you. You will not satisfy. You will never satisfy.

Toughening migration rules doesn’t challenge Reform. It validates them.

If I were a member of Congress I would have already introduced a bill prohibiting ICE agents from wearing face masks and requiring them to wear official identification at all times

The care sector is already overwhelmed, with the knock on impact on the NHS. If the Government is going to ban recruitment of care workers from abroad then there has to be a properly backed plan in place for the recruitment, training and retention of care workers in the UK.

Trump says his free plane deal is transparent in that we can all see this for what it is.

This week’s 99% letter focuses on protecting and rebuilding the NHS. Take a look, and join us. sh1.sendinblue.com/3g3r3lu2bglp...

You have to hand it to the Lib Dems. ♥️🔥♥️ They are a truly activist party. I witnessed how LD's overturned Tory rule in my area of Devon, in the GE and in the council elections - historical change brought about by hard work & super smart strategic thinking. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🚨 Reform UK wants to scrap green energy jobs in Lincolnshire -putting 12,200 skilled roles at risk 👷‍♂️ Thousands of working people and their families rely on this £1bn industry to make ends meet 💷 ✊ Add your name & share: labourunions.org.uk/stop-reform/ www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Jeez. The Trump administration is “looking at” ways to suspend habeas corpus, a Constitutional right that allows a person to challenge government detention, as a way to assist President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda Heaven help America www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

absolutely huge. your calls mattered, a bunch of Dems who had been supporting this flipped

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

You can’t gaslight a virus. You shouldn’t be able to rewrite history, but unfortunately that is EXACTLY what mainstream media has done. The actual data …. Credit @ourworldindata.org

A quarter of Britons believe Donald Trump presents the greatest threat to the UK’s national interests, according to a new poll www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/one-in...

100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

Food for thought…

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Tesla being beaten by Cupra in the UK EV market is quite something.

This is an extraordinary case, where it would seem a lawyer used AI which in turn invented five fake cases, which were then cited in submissions. Never use AI to do legal research. Ever.

The difference between one of the happiest societies, Norway and America is that in Norway they spend $300 million helping the homeless dude on the sidewalk, while in America they spend $300 million rebuilding Alcatraz. Do you get it yet?

..... but apart from that..."

It’s not deportations. It’s human trafficking.

Granddaughter of a Navy vet. Daughter of a Navy vet. Mother of an Army soldier. Not one damn dime should be spent on a military parade for a draft dodger…

Democratic House Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "Let me be clear, the last 100 days have not been an accident or a fluke. He has done exactly what he said he was going to do. He gave us the blueprint in Project 2025. Some tried to warn us of the dangers, and well, here we are." We sure tried warning 'em.

Ann Telnaes won a Pulitzer Prize after she resigned from the Washington Post after they refused to publish her cartoon. Bravo Pulitzer board for giving Bezos the bird! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

In Minnesota, we’re not walking away from the commitments we’ve made to our schools, to our health care, to flighting climate change, to public safety, to feeding our kids, and to taking care of seniors.

A new report says that, due to the volume and type of goods the UK and EU export to the US, Britain now pays more on tariffs www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Britain and the EU are to commit to the European Convention on Human Rights at this month’s post-Brexit summit, a leaked draft agreement has revealed 👏 www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05...

The perverting effect of money.

The newest and most powerful A.I. technologies — so-called reasoning systems from companies like OpenAI, Google and the Chinese start-up DeepSeek — are generating more errors, not fewer. As their math skills have notably improved, their handle on facts has gotten shakier.

Australia has said no to Trumpism, no to nuclear and no to a vision of a country in perpetual fear. A triumphant Labor government must now rise to the occasion.

Donald Trump doesn't know if needs to uphold the Constitution.

Page One must have been crowded. So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡 @schooley.bsky.social

Labour must avoid ‘naive’ lurch to right after Reform success, Haigh warns www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

'Trump has demonstrated, and the vast majority of UK voters believe, that he is dangerous and untrustworthy ... Canada is more dependent on the US economically than we are; if Carney can stand up to Trump while being perceived as strong and patriotic, then so can our government.'
