I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

Ross Barkan's plagiarism mini scandal has barely been discussed on Bluesky. We should be taking note of it. Especially since, now that he has responded on Twitter, his explanations are ridiculous.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

If you totted up the sums for every financial scandal in British politics (£2k per parliamentary question for cash-for-questions, £200k for Johnson’s No 10 renovation, the cost of that very nice campervan) even with second tier stuff like Rayner and Polanski, would you get close to £5mn *in total*?

Free speech culture means shut up with your criticisms or disagreements with other people’s speech. Free speech culture means students should accept, passively, without dissent, whoever the school chooses to honor with a speaker gig.

Presumably, all Farage has to do is provide the receipts for his security bill and apologise to us all for not declaring the £5 million. Shouldn't be a problem and as leader of a major party I'm sure he'll be absolutely delighted to clear up any misunderstanding.
