This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Want a great slogan for midterms? "If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you " You get the point. FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

16 of the 26 Day One executive orders signed by Trump were ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025. Russ Vought, an architect of Project 2025, testifies before the Senate today as Trump's OMB nominee. Project 2025 was always the MAGA agenda.

Turns out the President Musk thing was off base because Stephen Miller is really running the country. These are Miller’s ideas and Miller’s executive orders. Trump is just signing them and talking gibberish about what’s in them.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Can we just start using WTYS for “We told you so” to save character space over the next 4 years?

🙄🪓🙄🪓🙄🪓🙄🪓🙄 Looking for someone on here who lives in Nigel Farage’s constituency and might allow me to use them unscrupulously to write letters to the local paper, or help them to do so. We had letters in our local rag dissing Bim Afolami week in week out. Most effective!

In 1950 US corporations paid more than 50% of their profits in tax. Now they pay less than 20%. Suddenly there is no money for Social Security etc. What a surprise... not.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

I’m old enough to remember Boris Johnson telling businesses Brexit paperwork could go in a bin. Now they need a warehouse to store it in

As you process the devastating news that another tragic shooting took the lives of at least 3 innocent people in Wisconsin, remember the shooter didn't act alone. He was assisted by 222 House members, 49 Senators, and the NRA.

Boris Johnson is terrified that we will ditch Brexit, rebuild the UK with the EU, do well economically and… …that will show him for the fraud he is.
