Jeez. Trump actually just said it. He actually just said that Ukraine shouldn't have started this war! He’s actually siding with a crazed, murderous dictator

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

It’s time to be serious about tax evasion www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02... MPs have rumbled HM Revenue & Customs and the fact that our tax authority is really not serious about tackling tax evasion. It's time that they were. This is one thing that does not need to grow.

President Trump told reporters how and why he believes that Hamas are "bullies"—and critics were quick to point out that he could've easily been talking about himself.

Nazis went to Cincinnati. Nazis got chased out and their flags burnt. But this, this is what Trump, Musk and West are emboldening and perpetuating. Why the fuck isn’t there global outcry? People are just watching this happen.

Trump has suggested that any Ukrainians living in Mariupol should be permanently relocated so he can use the town flattened by his friend Putin to build a golf resort. Because that’s how it works, right?

“Many legal experts in and outside of government believe this was the administration’s plan all along: drag out Trump’s most aggressive and controversial policy decisions in court for so long that by the time any permanent judgment comes down, favorable or not, USAID will be nothing but a memory.”

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is why we’re now in a position where a trade war with our allies could happen. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.

Spent today doing vox pops in Clacton, a place Farage never goes unless he wants a photo op, something the locals agreed with. He’s in the US for the SEVENTH time since July, yet this is the first thing you see as you enter town, it’s been there since December. A metaphor for voting Reform.

Dear Modern Humans, You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not. Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts. It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.
