“It’s all a joke, to be honest with you, when it comes to money saving and reducing debt,” he added. “This president doesn’t care too much about debt." @thehill.com thehill.com/homenews/sen...

The U.S. Senate confirmed Harmeet Dhillon, a veteran lawyer with a history of attacking voting rights, to lead the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Join us on 1 June in London to demonstrate with a wide range of Ukrainian community and UK labour movement organisations. Free abducted children now! Free #Ukraine from occupation! #StandWithUkraine

Dear, brave, risk taking truth telling. Carole Cadwalladr. We all owe her a huge debt. This is her last piece for the Observer... she's been 'let go', along with many others, as Tortoise Media declined to take on her contract. Her substack is broligarchy.substack.com - it's good.

Spot the far right grifter signalling to Trump that he'd be the perfect arse licking sub - should the US fancy bunging a few million quid his way.... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ohhh I always wondered why the British forced opium on the Chinese. It’s because they were running such a trade deficit from importing tea they needed to have something to sell. And opium is 1) expensive 2) hideously addictive 3) grows in India. The East India Company was a wee bit evil.

So tired of this shit. Is this our lives now forever?

Palantir co-founder & Musk confidant supports unlawful Rogue Govt executive action (which is the current strategy/policy) for speed, conflict. Based on endorsing the great replacement conspiracy theory as justification.

Custom and Border Protection has broad authority to search travelers’ devices when they cross into the United States. Here’s what you can do to protect your digital life while at the US border. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

This is literally a direct quote from over the top villain Jafar in Disney's Aladdin lmfao

incredible stuff

Putting American service members' lives at risk. "The Signal chat included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen."

Playing Rummikub and eating boiled eggs.

Signalgate 2 is out already? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Waiting on Pete Hegseth’s imminent deportation.

The American tourism industry is going to get absolutely smoked

Many things have contributed to this terrible moment but perhaps chief among them is the historic cowardice of Thune, Johnson, and other Congressional Rs who have the power to stop the madness and refuse to use it on behalf of the American people. It is a Great Betrayal. bsky.app/profile/mona...

April 2025 IMF World Economic Outlook has a chapter on migration and refugee policy, including this chart mostly based on the OBR's analysis for the UK "Migrants and refugees have on average a more favorable net fiscal impact than that of natives." www.imf.org/-/media/File...

Happy psychotic Easter, everybody!

Your friendly reminder that it is literally a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison for the President, Vice President, or any employee of the White House to directly or indirectly ask the IRS to open an investigation into any specific taxpayer.

If it looks like a criminal, talks like a criminal, gets convicted 34 times like a criminal, then it’s definitely a criminal.

"Tyrant-osaurus Wrecks" is the perfect nickname for Donald Trump. A+ protest sign in Chicago today!

Donald Trump will photoshop pics and openly lie about an innocent man – but he won't give him, or thousands of others their Constitutional right of due process. A twelve year-old could tell you this image was altered. Republican 'leaders' must call this lie out.

New York packed the streets by the thousands to call for the fall of the criminal Trump regime. "This is what democracy looks like" ( 📹 @L2FTV ) #3E #FiftyFiftyOne #EndImpunity #EndOligarcy #EndAutogenocide

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Fun fact: the International Criminal Court at The Hague does NOT recognize any immunity based on official title or diplomatic status.

Who could’ve foreseen that it would be a disaster to put an unqualified Fox weekend host with a drinking problem and sordid personal history in charge of the military

An event which is quite literally put on by the Mayor of London. This year Sadiq said: "The Passion of Jesus welcomes thousands of Londoners of all backgrounds to Trafalgar Square to enjoy a live reenactment of the story of Jesus’s final days and resurrection." Who's losing?

Trump’s war on higher ed and public schools has expanded to an exciting new front: pre-K! Elon Musk and DOGE are shutting down a preschool near you. The richest government contractor in the world will stop those 3-year olds from defrauding our people.

If a list of demands — signed on letterhead — was sent by mistake, you correct the mistake by withdrawing the letter and explaining what you meant to say. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/b... The government has not done that. It has spoken anonymously to the press. Now it both did and did not demand.

Imagine that: a drunk Fox entertainment host can't run the largest agency in the world. It's a real shocker. www.mediaite.com/politics/the...

He's right of course. The pages of the Telegraph, the Spectator, GBNews, right-wing "thinktanks" are increasingly dominated by bigots and racists like Murray whose reasoning and objectives are no different from the BNP of the 1990s.

It’s extraordinary that so much media still reports on Trump with the old, redundant tools of the trade. He lied about Ukraine, then he tried to extort Ukraine, and having failed he threatens to walk away from Ukraine. The idea that he was ever going to do anything unwelcome to Putin is ridiculous.

Astonishingly outrageous behaviour from Paris Match. There are Brits who are against privacy law and are happy the whole Leveson process ran into the sand. This is the sort of thing that shows their importance.

The President of the United States fears only those who do not fear him.

This should lead to criminal charges against Leland Dudek and the people at DOGE who did this. I’m deadly serious about it. They committed fraud by deliberately marking people dead who were alive.

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

The Trump-Musk regime is plotting an Earth Day move to remove non-profit status from environmental groups. Just in case anyone still thought Tesla was a climate-friendly choice. #TeslaTakedown www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

As you read about SCOTUS blocking some deportations, make sure you read this piece on how the IC debunked Trump's claim that Venezuela is behind Tren de Aragua. That undermines the entire premise of Trump's AEA invocation (even before the "invasion" claim). www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

FFS. Starmer is not Trump, who is pretty sui genesis. He's a very different politician with very different strengths and weaknesses. A key part of political comms and strategy is recognising who your principle and playing to their strengths. This would not be doing that.

Yeah, I stayed up to write because I decided I needed to do it. www.lawdork.com/p/supreme-co...

Turns out that boasting you can end a war in 24 hours, yelling at the country that's been invaded, trying to loot its minerals and sucking up to the country that invaded its neighbour doesn't automatically bring a lasting peace. Who would have thought it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If Trump defies the Supreme Court its going to be massive.

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.
