5 or 6 of them, and he's a young boy of slight build. They are so so brave.

Starmer says, he picked up the trade deal papers before a reporter could get in. I saw how good these cameras are when Rubio's phone screen was captured in high def, showing some of his whatsapp contacts recently. Or, was he taking the knee. You decide. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

They are so yeller. If conscription started because of war they would run a mile. It's ok bullying defenceless people, but real combat, no.

ICE is either too stupid or too lazy to go after the real criminals.

We need to maroon natanyahu and taco 47 on an island far away. They are both vicious vindictive thugs and are both committing genocide and ethnic cleansing. Shitheads, the pair of them. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

The TJN’s chief executive, Alex Cobham, said: “We’ve only just laid bare the nonsense of one claimed ‘millionaire exodus’ and along comes another – it’s almost as if the lobbyists for not taxing extreme wealth don’t actually care about the evidence. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Are we STILL asking if this is genocide??? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Trump is as lazy and he is dumb, don’t get it twisted, he’s leaving G7 because he couldn’t hack it after one day of meetings, he’s used to nothing on his schedule but TV & photo ops. FYI, Tehran tweet is just him being an irresponsible moron.

Iran has responded by launching a wave of missile attacks on Tel Aviv, Haifa and other Israeli cities, killing at least 24 people and injuring more than 500.

Anyone else not rushing out to buy one? 😂

The President of the United States doesn’t believe in the United States. He believes in violence, thuggery, & force. One of his cult followers assassinated a Democratic politician, shot another, & had a long list of targets. This will keep happening. We fed the wrong tiger. #RemoveTrump

The President has surrounded himself with stooges and sycophants who enable his worst, most lawless impulses. That makes all of us less safe.

Read about this judge in Wiki. Trump appointed.. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Many soldiers in line units are separated from their families for months at a time. Marching for a draft dodger on a Saturday is the last thing they want to do.

I knew I should have taken 1 more day off before looking at the news feeds.. Best part is we are rising, worst part is ever more people are dying now, and for no good reasons.

Netanyahu’s illegal, unilateral attack on Iran is just his latest violation of international law. The United States must not be a part of this war. My full statement:

As I sit at my desk, I loathe these mofos.

MAY THIS MAKE YOUR DAY Prior to bilat btw PM Carney & DJT, they had a press encounter where DJT started delivering his best hits (Sleepy Joe, ICE saves America, Obama = bad) just to be interrupted by PM Carney Once video stream was off, ENTIRE PRESS ROOM erupted in a deep, loud, and hearty laugh!
