Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

He's manufacturing chaos because he has nothing to offer. No vision. No ideas. No interest in building anything. Just tearing down what others have built.

As Passover begins, I am reposting my open letter to Elon Musk. I wrote it in response to his attacks on me and his suggestion that I suffer from “generational trauma.” It has been the most viral piece I have ever written and I continue to be moved by the positive feedback. Thanks and Happy Pesach!

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”. “I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.” This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

One of the many, MANY tells that this will be a fake study is the promise to find answers by September. Nobody sincerely trying to answer a complicated question about the cause of a disease would guarantee an answer in a couple months. Only a snake oil salesman fabricating data would do that.

Why was there a spike in trade volume right before Trump announced his tariff pause? In a normal world, there would be a fear of breaking the law. And we'd have a bipartisan push for answers.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Ah lovely. Another bag of rubbish gets tipped into the House of Lords. The place must absolutely reek of stale Tory failure, corruption and abuse of power. Honours handed out like sweeties to some of the most undeserving, underachieving, overpromoted clowns and liars to have ever held public office.
