Enten: "So fewer Americans think it's acceptable to put President Trump's name on government buildings right now than believe that the earth is that or the moon landing is fake"

I've been travelling a lot, so it's 2 wks since my last Trump "behind the headlines" update So this is longer than normal, but I think it came out well & I hope it's interesting (and horrifying?!) to listen to (thanks anon video editor!) youtu.be/R_3sLGiv4qU actions: www.trumpactiontracker.info

Re-up! Peter Mandelson, the Russian superyacht and the scandal we misread When Mandelson was caught on an oligarch's boat in Corfu, we called it Yachtgate and moved on. Years later, the Epstein files revealed the full picture By @professorshaw.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/peter-mand...

New in PN: Trump's "Freedom 250" concert implodes spectacularly "It was going to be so beautiful: A spectacular concert to celebrate 250 years of democracy, featuring some of the greatest musical acts this nation has produced. Okay, maybe not the greatest, but they were definitely musical acts!"

“Zohran Mamdani was attacked for not attending a New York event with Israelis accused of war crimes. Plus, the UK banned Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker, while Donald Trump had a full weekend brain fade.” Read here, by @premthakker.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/why-did-to...

Rep. Riley Moore on Iran: "Of course it's another masterstroke by the president, who's ended multiple conflicts in his term. This is gonna be another one that's gonna go down in the history books as one of the great peace deals he's done."

The author of this column, Susanna Rustin,was described to me by Guardian staffers as a “militant and obsessive anti-trans activist" in 2021.

This should be posted everywhere until the midterms and then some.

Ben Gvir calls for the suburbs of Beirut to be “flattened”

Meta whistleblower’s lawyer says he too is prevented from promoting her book www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The only thing more satisfying than the removal of his name from the Kennedy Center is the unwell Orange Man-Baby's entirely predictable, seething, unhinged, self-pitying, incoherent, raging, angry, vengeful meltdown reacting to the news. Someone call a wahh-mbulance! And how is your weekend going?

It's an excellent article and sums up my feelings. Here's the whole piece archive.is/qx0I2

Maybe if he hadn’t been telling us for 3 months that a surrender deal with Iran was imminent he wouldn’t have to post at 1:02 AM that he has no idea how to get out of this war while accomplishing anything meaningful.

Yesterday I witnessed something extraordinary: the author Sarah Wynn-Williams sitting silent on a stage at @hayfestival.bsky.social. And she got a standing ovation. I hope the attempt to censor her backfires magnificently. I have just ordered her book. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

if you could get all the flesh-and-blood fans of these two in a room, there's nothing that could stop the eight of them from changing the world

Another #PrideMonth, another morning browsing comments asking why it's necessary. For humanists, Pride is still a protest. Religious 'conversion therapy' is STILL happening: exorcisms, beatings, forced prayer.... Abuse – even if it is disguised as religious compassion – should NOT be legal 🧵

The blood on this man’s hands. Determined to prevent a deal with Iran. Determined to eliminate Palestinians. Determined to kill Palestinian statehood. Determined to drag the wider region into a spiraling circle of death. The war criminal of our era. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Israel says it has received the greenlight from Washington to attack southern Beirut. Civilian evacuation of Dahiyeh is now underway.

They're *this* close to concluding that women aren't real. That women are a scam, made up by the woke mob to distract men from taking their supplements.

It is shit like this which is why I get so angry at the people who try and defend or dismiss Labour's rampantly xenophobic and hostile policies on the basis "Reform will be worse". Yeah, they will, it doesn't excuse how utterly abhorrent Labour is though. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I love the angle taken by @kenearlys on the Champions League final. He’s absolutely right to dedicate so much time to how Arsenal waste time 🗑️ The drinking water and human life lines

Oh my. Absolute, righteous oof. Still, trust the process.

Hungary’s new prime minister has pledged to change the constitution to remove from office most appointees put in place by his predecessor Viktor Orbán, including the country’s president.

will the Met Office be able to continue its research and communication on Climate Change under a Reform government? It has no statutory basis, its leadership is appointed by Sec of State and its priorities are set together with DSIT

This is counter-productive, authoritarian and chilling. The British state should not be in the business of banning commentators and journalists from entering the country, without compelling reason. Finding their views objectionable is nowhere near enough. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

Not only is this $300B of our money to reopen a shipping lane that was already wide open for free but the entire SNAP budget is $100B/year and I was told we couldn’t afford to feed American children fruits and vegetables

And then there's Diana Mosley appearing the same year defending Adolf Hitler and denying the full scale of the Holocaust. A rather unfortunate slice of social history for her many defenders who claimed she wasn't a real fascist... she most certainly was. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

Congrats to the BBC for lavishly covering Palantir today without mentioning recent news about its boss - or indeed, even saying his name, or referencing his previous business dealings with Epstein (also ringfenced in the news). #r4today

Morning all. ✊🏾🏳️‍🌈✊🏻

They've agreed to create an "initial federal organisation with the aim of rallying forces to establish a new socialist and working class party, independent of Labour and the Greens." Another socialist party on its way! They must be running out of names by now.

250 delegates representing Your Party branches and former ones in Britain met in an online conference on 31st May to launch the 'Socialist Federation' They've "comprehensively lost patience with Corbyn & his close-knit entourage who failed to build on the promise of the mass signups to a new party"

Nigel Farage's great hero Enoch Powell did Desert Island discs in 1989. Well worth listening to because it exposes him for what he was. A self-regarding, pompous poseur utterly devoid of humour whose choices were clearly picked to show everyone how clever he was. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

“This is censorship... This is a demonstration that some of the worst abuses in our time are not confined to kings, emperors, governments … but to a class of companies that have assumed the sovereign affect, and seek to assert their power the same way that some of those despotic nation states do.”

“So you’re somewhere in the city centre, and suddenly a drone flies at you. You don’t know where it’s going or where it’s going to fall.” - these words from Helen, describing a drone attack in Pavlohrad this week, made my blood run cold. More on my Substack open.substack.com/pub/sianushk...

Gentle reminder that Nigel Farage backed Mandelson for US Ambassador. That’s not a thing you do lightly when you’re supposedly friends with the President.

Chaos Reform-dominated Kirklees Council to be without leader for more than two months

“The moral of the tale on Brexit is simplicity, and a lack of experts, gets us into a big mess. And that is where we are.” Yes. But with Farage, Tories and rightwing media offering up yet more ruinous bullshit, blocking all routes back to sanity and prosperity. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

How far back does “indigenous” go - does it exclude the royal family, anyone of Norman or Viking descent, famous scientists, scholars, artists and athletes descended from refugees or immigrants, immigrants from the former “colonies - or just, basically, anyone not “pureblood white?

There is no deal FYI. The Strait will remain closed. This is terrible news but it’s the price of incompetence.
