Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Christ preached forgiveness, mercy, and peace. A guy who beats his girlfriends and has four gin-and-tonics before breakfast says we should kill for Jesus in Iran. For busy church-goers, it’s hard to know who to believe.

Hilarious how for years serious people have said that you can't rely on renewables because they are prone to disruptions in supply www.ft.com/content/19f1...

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

This is why the 25th Amendment exists. This is the purpose of having the 25th Amendment. To not use this power to remove the president is not a passive act, a mere option: it is a positive decision to misuse the constitution.

No real problem with ordinary folks asking about the 25th, but every time a congressman asks for the cabinet to remove a president you should read that as them abdicating their own duty to pursue impeachment through congress

It’s… let’s say “disturbing” when the President of the United States sounds more messianic in his foreign policy threats than Iran’s mullahs.

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

New North Sea drilling would barely reduce UK gas imports at all, data shows

Can you imagine how many people approved it before publishing? Shameful.

his tweets read like well-crafted shitposts - more than that, the platonic ideal of one because in a sense they are - it's the style, cadence, & obliviousness the OG shitpoasters mimicked, but directly & in earnest we're staring into the face of one of the internet's old gods

gun-to-your-head would you be able to tell me if this was dawkins or drill if i took out the names?

as an English person obsessed with politics this past decade, it's a tie:

Tommy Robinson accidentally posting on the wrong account.

My favourite thing about the paywall fade you get is that it's the perfect encapsulation of slowly backing away from the nutter in the pub who tries to tell you about how MI5 are controlling his teeth.

Trump will one day become a cautionary tale - teaching us that a journey down the rabbit hole of fakery, fantasy and endless lies eventually leads to actual insanity.

I've seen several serious commentators talking about this latest outburst from Trump without noting that there is no "new regime President" in Iran. The old regime and old president are still in office.

It’s actually possible to write headlines that don’t obscure who did what. Thanks, AP.

Things a rapist says

Since 2018 Italy have qualified for more men’s cricket world cups than men’s football world cups.

So Israel commits war crime after war crime… Invades Targets civilians/aid workers Snipers children Land grabs Celebrates with champagne at hanging Palestinians …and the international community can’t even muster the most flaccid of responses. You have failed us all.

was just reminded that tomorrow is april fool’s day and especially this year can we just… not, please

It is so striking how all this resembles Covid so much. The primacy of the power of positive thinking, arbitrary deadlines where they announce something out of their control to be over, large portions of media/business believing them, because "wouldn't it be great?"

We cannot be friends, we cannot be allies, we cannot support and we sure as fuck cannot sell arms to a state that only applies the death penalty to one nationality, faith or ethnic group. This isn't hard.

so what you’re saying is that immigrants haves failed to respect a nation’s laws & don’t integrate into the culture

Wow

Just a reminder that the US is not the largest contributor to NATO as a share of GDP.

Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-Ting was demonized and harassed because JK Rowling claimed she was male. Her boxing career was disrupted for over a year. Now, she's been cleared to compete as female after further "sex eligibility reviews." This is going to happen again. www.reuters.com/sports/olymp...

LMAO

Trump on a deal with Iran: "I'm the opposite of desperate. I don't care."

This is technical and scientific nonsense and in a sane society would be something Vance was unable to recover from

26 March 1905 | An Austrian Jew, Viktor Frankl, was born in Vienna. A neurologist & psychiatrist. One of the founders of psychological humanism. He passed through Theresienstadt and the camps of Auschwitz, Kaufering & Türkheim. He survived. Author of 'Man in Search of Meaning'.

Jessica: I love that you read a newspaper. Watters: I read more than you. Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, New York Post. Jessica: And you still say this crap on TV after you've read all that?

Absolutely awesome that the federal government uses this thing to make important decisions

"It's not fair of environmentalists to point out that in addition to being finite resources that are actively destroying the planet, fossil fuels also leave us at the mercy of fragile supply and logistics chains significantly controlled by autocrats in geopolitically chaotic parts of the world."

oil prices are about to make polyester a noble fiber

Anyone heard from JD Vance lately?

Israel is already killing Palestinians on sight, without process. Israel has become a monster with no moral compass. Its people are being led by religious extremists, little different from absolutist Islamic terrorists, into a wilderness of amorality. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

It’s shocking how the motivation behind almost every single bad tech bill is about hating LGBTQ people and specifically trans people

Lewisham Green Party has announced the defection of two Labour councillors, Cllr Tauseef Anwar and Cllr Rudi Schmidt, who "join the more than 50 new Green councillors who have defected to the party in the past few months."

Damn, Gerry Baker. 👀

If you're replying to a post about torched ambulances in London with a point about Israel, you've crossed the line into antisemitism. And you're doing absolutely nothing to help any cause. Even if you consider yourself one of the good people. Maybe especially so. You've just caught racism.

Everything about this including the byline is hilarious.

Horrified by the antisemitic attack in our city. Antisemitism is vile and has no place here. Solidarity with the Jewish community in Golders Green - and with our communities across the country who will be feeling this today.

Why not both?
