The more people know about the rap sheet here, the less effective that "strategy" becomes, so spread the word, folks. www.trumpactiontracker.info Thanks again to @chrischirp.bsky.social for creating it.

This is Reevesonomics! She's been very clear about this being the explicit plan! What did you think capital deepening meant? Vibes? Essays?

I LOVE the rice cooker! It’s the best example of simple physics : it’s literally a pot, a heating element and a magnet. That’s it. No electronics. No sensors. Nothing. How does it work??? Physics ! 🧵

New from me for @cnn.com: "Climate change makes this El Niño a wild card, since it will occur in a far warmer world than that of 2015-16 and 1997-98 — and especially 1982-83." www.cnn.com/2026/05/19/c...

Miller Lite quote of the day comes from the absolute ghouls at Standard Chartered (British bank) who are cutting 7,000 jobs (hey AI)

But 15 months ago Trump and Vance tried to intimidate Zelensky into signing a surrender deal by yelling at him that Ukraine didn’t have any cards. Despite Trump’s repeated efforts to help Putin, Russia is losing while Trump can’t figure out how to get out of his own war.

⚡️Update: Ukraine says it struck major Russian oil refinery, pumping station. Ukrainian forces struck the Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez oil refinery in Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, the General Staff said, where a fire was recorded on the facility's territory on May 18.

Had anyone noticed how much better Ukraine is doing since they stopped sharing intelligence with the US?

"This means a staggering 96.7% of users are rejecting the premium AI features, yielding just a 3.3% paid adoption rate. When viewed against Microsoft’s estimated $37.5 billion quarterly AI spending, this is an alarmingly low adoption rate." rofl

People now debating whether we should rejoin the EU… Surely the real question is: Why on earth wouldn’t we?!

Reform UK plan for Kent council shake-up now ‘completely dead’, according to Liberal Democrat leader Antony Hook

Russia is losing. Russia deserves to lose. Russians should go home and stop attacking their neighbors.

It was kind of Robert Jenrick to set me up for an obvious joke at his expense.

Most people will only see the spin around Trump’s $1.8b settlement fund. But once you walk through the timeline, the level of corruption becomes impossible to dismiss. Read this one all the way through. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

“lower-value human capital” This would be bad enough in an econ paper. But the CEO talking about his own, current employees? We’re in a bad place.

APPLEBAUM: United States under this administration is no longer interested in leading democratic coalitions against Russia or anyone else. President Trump has begun to align US foreign and domestic policies with values and practices of the autocratic world.

An interesting interview from way back when before Burnham was Mayor, suggesting a mildly socially conservative person and pretty mainstream in their idea of Labour politics. highprofiles.info/interview/an...

Here's how now-convicted child sex predator Andrew Paul Johnson used his expectation of a slush fund like one Trump set up today to try to buy the silence of the boy he molested when the boy was 11. Promise of payment contributed to a young boy being molested. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Across the right wing British media, which now sadly includes BBC News, Mamdani faces widespread criticism and attacks. They hate the fact that his tax the rich and help the poor, philosophy appears to be both popular and working. #r4today bsky.app/profile/simp...

Keep piling on the pressure. Angela Rayner forced from her position for pocket change in comparison. Yet he and Dick Tice act as if they are entitled, Cunts. (I make no apologies for using such an expletive at this hour of the morning)

Bless him! Little Bobby Jenrick doesn’t know where he is. I think this is called a Delia Smith moment. “WHERE ARE YOU??? LET’S BE ‘AVIN YOU!!!” 😂😂

Give us control or give us zonal pricing. Scotland has the highest energy costs in the UK. Scotland has the coldest Temperatures in the UK. Scotland produced 120% of its own electricity, the most of all the countries in the UK. Fair?

The surveillance is part of Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought’s plan to strip Americans of federal services. He has spent the last year firing, pushing out, and terrorizing federal workers en masse, chart @prospect.org prospect.org/2026/05/18/p...

Farage tells it like it is. Except when he’s talking about his financial accounts, immigration figures and effects, his school days …..

We’re only ‘not allowed’ to go over the Brexit debates because the Brexiters were wrong on approximately 95% of them.

"Good news Wes, you're outpolling the sweet release of death in the Labour leadership stakes" "by a lot?" "4 points, it's almost a statistical tie to be fair"

“Labour may be doing itself no favours by reviving the European debate – but… the whole country will have to face up to it again, sooner or later, and the British know it. It simply cannot be avoided, even in Makerfield” Yes. It’s too damaging to dodge forever. www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...

MAGA grifters who file claims with Trump’s $1.7 billion fund plundered from hardworking Americans are going to be a Who’s Who of Deplorables. He’s come up with a way to silence all his MAGA critics on the war and Epstein who will now suddenly shut up while angling for payouts.

This is peak AI mania: identify a task that has long been well- and cheaply-handled by human beings, pay to use an LLM (which is ill-suited for the task), and be completely shocked when it goes disastrously.

My God. Of all the insane, despicable, easily disprovable lies this mendacious clown has told, this may be the most over the top. What I wouldn't give to hear someone say, "No one believes that."

So Farage bought a £1.4M house in Surrey (not Clacton) on 10 May 2024. Reform UK claimed he bought it with his winnings from I'm A Celebrity 2023 not Harborne's massive Brexit bung 36 days prior But turns out they were still resting in his main account. So how did he pay? Good summaries from BBC

keep hearing Reform UK people claiming Nigel Farage wasn't in politics when he received his £5M gift from Christopher Harborne early 2024 OK Richard Tice was leader of the party from March 2021 until June 3rd 2024 when Farage took over again, but Farage remained the person with significant control

The neverending story of Nigel, his house and money: 💩Said he bought his Clacton house himself 💩Then said he didn't need to do constituency work because security services told him not to 💩Then claimed his partner bought the house

We need a ban on stock trading by the President and Members of Congress. It’s bullshit that elected officials are getting rich off the backs of the American people while having access to insider information.

Trump Requests $1.2 Trillion To Have https://bit.ly/3RjdlH1

The “we don’t have the votes” excuse for refusing to force a vote on impeachment is conceding the point and saying even the opposition party doesn’t think this high crime merits removal from office. It’s not being politically astute and pragmatic, it’s self-defeating in its cowardice.

It’s VERY IMPORTANT that corporate media NOT frame this as a judicial settlement. Trump DROPPED the suit this morning. There is no lawsuit, and therefore, no settlement. you can’t settle a suit that doesn’t exist. This is just pure theft.

Trump didn't settle a lawsuit. He dropped the lawsuit so there's no lawsuit to settle. He's just stealing this money. The lawsuit was just for show so he could say he settled a lawsuit.

“.. $41.5bn as of Sunday night — or $316 per US household.” ⛽️ @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/32ff...

Correct. None of this ever happened. No insurance, no navy escorts, no free flow of energy. The Strait is still closed, and there's no evidence of a plan to open it. We're back to wishful thinking combined with bluster, bullying, and threats on the Internet. Trump appears impotent and flailing.

Nice reminder to what remains of the Starmer project that there might be an easier way of "winning over Reform voters" that doesn't entail bragging about robbing refugees of their personal possessions in militarised detention centres.

Hunter Biden criticises Elon Musk, "You’ve got some motherf*cker who’s made over $251 billion being a United States citizen" "That got here and stayed here illegally before he got his citizenship" "Sitting here lecturing us on who we should allow into the US"

Laura Kuenssberg, "Rejoining the EU.. Which Streeting and Burnham have mentioned" Wil Self, "I think the public would be much happier if Streeting stood up and said we have a problem with governmental legitimacy, because of the way the vote on Europe is still perceived"

President Zelenskyy: “Our responses to Russia’s prolongation of the war and its attacks on our cities and communities are entirely justified. This time, Ukrainian long-range sanctions reached the Moscow region, and we are clearly telling the Russians: their state must end its war… Glory to Ukraine!”

The government isn't forcing churches and community centres and town halls across the country to fly the Ukrainian flag. People are doing it themselves because we see a battle and we know which side we are on. There are lots of ways in which Reform is wildly out of touch with Britain.
