#Trump's poll numbers are diving Into #submarine territory. AND he is crashing on the #ECONOMY. ALREADY. youtu.be/VkYxxe9IpqM?...

This.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is the best. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

The federal judge in Washington overseeing a challenge to President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender people serving in the military was accused by the US Justice Department of misconduct for alleged bias during recent court hearings.

Whatever comes next in the NIH case, the hearing today made it clear how huge the medical/academic constituencies are opposing these cuts. And it would seem hard to dispute that some amount of irreparable harm has already happened to some number of parties involved.

Nigel Farage is friends with fascists who do Nazi Salutes on stage. He is in no fit state to be anywhere near British politics.

Oh so Farage didn’t comment on Trump’s betrayal of Zelensky and Ukraine - not because he was swamped with Clacton constituency work. God no. He was on a plane to the US and it was night time. Hahaha! More like waiting for further instructions from his despot paymasters… news.sky.com/story/farage...

You boy, has anyone seen Nigel Farage?

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

This is why Farage is being quiet.

#Trumps choice: ' #Caine is a #three-star general. Traditionally, #four-star generals are nominated to chair the Joint Chiefs of Staff' = quality issue. ' #Trump fires #Black joint chiefs chair #Hegseth accused of promoting diversity' www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

#TrumpLand: ' #US businesses’ #optimism has “ #evaporated”, according to PMI commentary provided by S&P Global’s chief business economist, Chris Williamson, amid “a darkening picture of heightened uncertainty”.

#USA now doing firing squads? #TrumpLand is going very weird. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

CPAC proves too fascist for French far right leader ... who quits in disgust www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Around 63% of Ukrainians approve of Volodymyr Zelensky's actions as a president, according to a survey carried out by the Identity and Borders in Flux The poll was published shortly after President Trump alleged that Zelensky holds a "4% approval rating” kyivindependent.com/63-of-ukrain...

We all need to call these lies out, to share the facts and the truth, because facts and truth matter - without them we are all lost. If you know anyone who actually believes the boll**** Trump and Musk have been spouting this week ask them to spend five minutes watching this

"The larger dynamic is that Trump isn’t merely pushing to redefine the boundaries of the law or even the Constitution," Jonathan Chait writes. "He is rejecting the principle that the law constrains him at all."

“Our closest ally, the United States, is now supporting Russia, removing itself from the defence of Europe and the UK..We've got to make the defence of our country our top priority" @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 32 MILLION! 👏 LETS DO THIS!

Europe provides about as much direct aid to Ukraine as the United States. European loans to Ukraine are backed by income from frozen Russian assets, not Ukraine. isw.pub/UkraineFacts...
