Wow.

I watched Kimmel's three most recent monologues, convinced I had missed the thing MAGA was outraged about. But it looks like this is it. It has to be more than this, right? There's just no way this is it.

trump approval hits a new low in today's yougov/economist poll. now worse than he was in yougov's data at this point in 2017 www.economist.com/interactive/...

Grok is being sent to the reeducation camp

We don’t all share the same internet. The personalised algorithm has siloed us into parallel worlds

insight into right-wing info asymmetries: “Democrats must be gracious, empathetic and call for calm Republicans can mock the victims, blame only one side and demand more violence. a single post..will be treated as a statement from “the left”, while the outpourings of the right’s…get a free pass.

Don Jr went on Fox to attack people who call their opponents fascists. Yes, this Don Jr:

Charlie Kirk was killed for saying things "that used to be simple common sense," says Boris Johnson. Here's a few of those things

“He has been killed for saying things that used to be simple common sense. He has been killed because he had the courage to stand up publicly for reasonable opinions held by millions and millions of ordinary people both in the US and Britain.” - Boris Johnson

This explains it better than I can

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.

The whole story in three posts.

Farage returns from Washington, where he whipped up the Trumpist right to attack his own country, comparing it to "North Korea." And where he fretted that UK policies might harm American businesses. A strange kind of 'patriotism.'

Farage dodged parliament, went to the US, slagged off the UK, lied to Congress, grifted for donations and hoped to persuade the US to punish us for the Online Safety Act. And got his arse handed back to him. You’d think our ‘patriotic’ media would go nuts. But no. Some quiet mumbling. Beyond feeble.

He’s always so shit in the face of decent questioning. Absolutely amazing how rarely it happens.

Current state of UK political discourse.

This is excellent and should be taught in schools

The real 'two tier' divide in British politics is between the wife of a Conservative councillor calling for refugees to be burnt alive, being treated as a brave 'political prisoner', and the protestors calling for the end of mass starvation and genocide, being treated as domestic terrorists

British immigrant to Spain tells GB News the reason she moved to Benidorm is that there are too many immigrants in the UK And her friend says the cost of living is lower and better inside the European Union than back in the UK which is outside the EU

Showing the endangered leader of an invaded country my hats

They think you are stupid. They think you will believe that a party came into government and decided for no reason to release loads of prisoners. They won’t tell you what the previous party did to engineer this crisis. Treating their readers with contempt.

Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldn’t wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor. Have a weekend

Very accurate thread

It’s been obvious for some time that Musk’s platform is deliberately & dangerously hideous. There is nothing to stop politicians, up to & including the government, removing themselves from it entirely. Their every utterance would still be reported, regardless of how it entered the public space.

I really don't want to go through the whole rigmarole of seeing Farage win power and then fuck everything up and have loads of sympathetic voxpops with dismayed Reform voters expressing their regrets when it was extremely fucking obvious what would happen because his platform is incoherent garbage

So in 24 hours Trump launched his own perfume range, opened a concentration camp, extorted millions from Paramount, threatened a political opponent, has suggested deporting US citizens, and had a bill passed that will destroy millions of lives. Or, as it’s known, just another Tuesday

How was Joe Biden forced out of a presidential race for a disastrous debate and for looking frail and for confusing names, but this man, one of the most ignorant men to ever be elected to any office, allowed to continue on as president and treated as a normal, serious leader??

Mic drop.

We are governed by a needy narcissistic man-child and if you’re a supporter or admirer of his, I pity you.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Perfect…

Yup. Just like 'Brexit Derangement Sydrome'. They are just phrases designed to be shouted so loud that the shouters can (almost) drown out the voices of conscience and truth.

Britain's wrongest man rides again.

Obama worked out a deal that stopped Iran's nuclear weapons program but then Trump, of course, ripped it up out of stupid spite, allowing them to get back on track. If Trump is now in a position to "eradicate the threat" it's only because he *caused* the threat in the first place.

The Trump administration helped bring back the Tate brothers (charged with rape and sexual trafficking), hosted Conor MacGregor (multiple allegations of sexual assault), and now invited Dom Lucre (horrific CSAM stuff) to the White House. These are the people they're celebrating and defending.

Left: Nigel Farage says medicine shortages after Brexit is, "Utter tosh.. It's complete and utter rubbish.. Project fear.. It should be utterly completely totally disregarded" Right: "Brexit a key factor in worst UK medicine shortages in four years"

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Andrew Neil now.... and exactly four months ago. A great example of the British Right finally catching up. Their primary objective of 'owning the libs' has hit brutal reality.

Lots of "Very Serious People" don't want to admit what is plain and obvious and in front of our eyes and explains so much: Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the most ignorant and uninformed people to ever be allowed near public office anywhere in the western world. It's obvious to all of us.

This is why Farage is being quiet.

This is so good.

This is George Monbiot's "X" leaving speech, and wow ❤️ @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

The economic cost of Brexit to the UK now exceeds what it paid into the EU over its entire 47 years of membership. A colossal, unprecedented act of economic self-harm sold to a nation by grifters and snake oil salesmen.

Voters have forgiven Trump for launching an insurrection, committing 34 felonies, for “grab ‘em by the pussy”, for sharing classified documents, for being a court-adjudicated rapist, and more. The idea the Dems won’t be forgiven for pardons is from another era.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.
