Russia’s greatest military asset is not any bomb, tank, plane or ship. It is the Republican Party.

Weirdly, I wrote about yesterday's events in the Oval Office ONE WEEK BEFORE THEY HAPPENED. www.bylinesupplement.com/p/russell-jo...

A reminder to the British press: Donald Trump just says stuff. Reporting what he says as though it’s fact will inevitably make you look like an idiot. There’s not going to be a US/UK trade deal imminently and Trump really doesn’t care about the UK, even if he likes being flattered.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ordered Trump officials with knowledge of the workings of billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to testify under oath in a lawsuit challenging the faux agency’s access to sensitive governmental databases. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

this degenerate clown's micro-bros have spent the last month sending emails to the PRESENT air traffic controllers begging, pestering, and trying to threaten them into resigning their jobs. and now this ...

The University of Galway is carrying out a pilot project that aims to transform how remote island communities receive their healthcare

PSA: Get your carbon monoxide alarm checked, gang.x

This will be seen in Europe and the UK as an egregious attack on the rule of law and human dignity, aided and abetted by elements of the current US administration, who evidently see this as fan service.

Idiots and billionaires voted for Trump. As the old saying goes, check your bank account to find out which category you fall into.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Gov. Janet Mills of Maine threatened legal action after President Trump said he would withhold funding to her state unless she complied with his executive order banning transgender athletes from women’s sports. Read more: nyti.ms/3F2nn9a

19 things Trump and his team did this week

Over 40mm of rain possible on high ground in Southwest Sunday with very heavy rain moving in from West Saturday night. Falling on saturated ground there is a risk of some local flooding. Very strong winds at same too will make for a rotten Sunday morning.

🔥 A BBC report on the ceasefire in Gaza fails to fact check Israeli violations, while obscuring key context – this isn’t journalism, it’s neglect

COMMENTARY: As European leaders try to stumble upon the best method to handle US President Trump, they might want to consider this: What’s unfolding isn’t just about Trump anymore.

Trump has now asked Elon Musk to examine US defence spending. Elon Musk’s companies have multi billion dollar contracts with the Department of Defense and are seeking more. The BBC’s Today Programme just reported the first part, without mentioning the second. Unacceptable

Can anyone explain how this any different to the McCarthyism of last century? And how was McCarthy stopped?

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

“I swear by almighty god, that no lawyer who represents DOGE, Musk, or Trump, or any of their ilk will ever be engaged by me, any company I control, any supplier, or client of mine” - every decent person ever

Transphobia is a gateway drug to fascism.

A fresh series of quakes hit the Aegean island of Santorini early this morning, part of an unprecedented seismic wave that has baffled scientists and led to a mass exodus of residents

It’s nice change to have someone stand up and simply say ‘I made a mistake, sorry’. Kudos to you sir.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thoughts with those on the Aran Islands tonight. Gusts of 210kmh are possible there on the latest high resolution charts. #StormÉowyn

HANNITY: What do you do about sanctuary states? Would you cut off their money? TRUMP: I might have to do that. California is a great example of it.

Latest HAMRONIE 6z high resolution weather model is very concerning, especially for Western areas. Gusts of 180kmh possibly on the coast. #StormÉowyn

A remarkable listen. Andrew Norfolk carefully, softly, devastatingly sets out all the context you need to understand the current discourse. He is balanced, sensitive and doesn't shy away from identifying the failings and those that have been failed. A stark contrast to other voices.

Latest snow depth charts which aren’t great as many over do it but the four different models give an idea of how the models vary in the forecast. Snow is likely for some Sunday so the school holidays could be extended for some Monday morning.

Also, courage is contagious. I continue to stand against American fascism in the hope that others will take heart, too.

I love a grim British Christmas. I've got a special advent calendar every day for you of sad trees in public spaces.

On the day of the winter solstice The tune of an ice-cream van Tinkles tantalisingly close in Phibsborough Even as darkness nears, Convincing the few children still out, yet again, that adults take winter too seriously. As we hurry past, their ears home in on what matters: Is it coming this way? 🍦

The quote below is from my book THE VIEW FROM FLYOVER COUNTRY: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

One of those things that I knew happened and was bad but no idea how bad until reading this!! So scary 🤯
