Memorial Day is not about sales, BBQs, or waving flags at parades. Today we remember those who sacrificed & why they did it. Union soldiers defended our constitution & freedom for all. The Greatest Generation & those who followed fought fascism & authoritarians. Your job: vote for the same.

Deeply pathetic that BBC is reporting this as a Reform power struggle rather than explaining that Reform's policies would require deporting people -including pensioners - who have lived and worked here legally for decades. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Happy to share our first campaign ad!! Www.Harrydunnformd.com

Talarico: I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November.

"President Trump is the only one who could have gotten Iran to the negotiating table." - Speaker Mike Johnson Speaker, Obama achieved that without costing lives, depleting our military stockpile, spending billions of dollars, or damaging the economy or U.S. standing in the world. #IranWar

He was just pepper sprayed by ICE and now @andykimnj.bsky.social joins me at 4p ET along with @glennkirschner.bsky.social on the Trump slush fund plus FL gubernatorial candidate @davidjolly.bsky.social - see you on Substack and later on YouTube.

“It’s just burning. I just wanted to try to keep people safe.” ICE fired pepper spray at Senator Andy Kim and protesters outside a detention facility in New Jersey. Not another penny should go to these out-of-control agencies — and when we regain power, we will hold all of these thugs accountable.

Amongst all this, it's a very big shame that Tucson's soccer community is going to miss out on having a connection to the World Cup. #USL-2 club FC Tucson was going to host Iran at the Kino Sports Complex, a top-class facility that has hosted #MLS, #NWSL and #USL preseasons for more than a decade.

For the first time, cheering for cancer to win.

My thoughts on Memorial Day 2026

Obama (2016): "’Everyone here is someone's hero’ – those who rest beneath this silence, not only here at Arlington, but at veterans' cemeteries across our country & around the world, & all who still remain missing, they didn't speak the loudest about their patriotism. They let their actions do that”

Farage - 'I've been advised not to hold surgeries for security reasons' - He hadn't. Farage - 'There was an arson attack on my home' - It was an attempted burglary Farage - 'My phone was hacked by Russia' - No report made to the relevant authority. Could there be a pattern here...🤔

Farage doesn’t care. Racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia… Reform can go for it. It didn’t make any difference in America. Trump boasted about his own toxicity and won. Farage is hoping he can do the same here. Just disgraceful that he stands a chance. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

BREAKING A NEW report that examines the rise of Political Prisoners in Britain has now been published in full. “It is a wake up call to the authorities to change course and pursue a more proportionate response.” 🧵 for details

Happy 82nd birthday to Frank Oz! The voice and puppeteer behind Yoda.

Today is not Mark Hamill's birthday, but it is Frank Oz's.

Nobody deserves this day more than Sienna ❤️

In honor of the true heroes on this Memorial Day, I fixed it. #DonaldTrump #MemorialDay

It’s really frightening.

Simply contemptible, revolting, for a member of the Bar, Naomi Cunningham, to endorse the idea that trans women are trans "for reasons of sexual gratification" or because they "are fetishists".

New — I talked with @katmabu.bsky.social the morning after a judge dismissed all charges against her and her co-defendants thanks to extreme government fuckery about what comes next, the crazy rumor mill and setting a precedent for telling ICE to fuck off. Our convo here:

Variety: CBS is "standing down" and has stopped issuing takedown notices on Stephen Colbert's new "Only in Monroe" public access series Public pressure works, kids variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Jennings, even with his spin, confirms that the U.S. does indeed plan to give Iran money and sanctions relief and that opening the Strait (something that was already open prior to the war) is the initial priority

On Memorial Day, we remember the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Today, and every day, let us honor their memory by doing our part to defend the values and freedoms they gave their lives to protect.

If Nigel Farage kept quiet about the £5million bung he received until disclosed by the Guardian it begs the question how many other bungs he’s received that as yet remain secret?

It's been a 2 month journey for George Clooney and not always easy but he now loves all us humans! He also looks like a million dollars I think you'll agree

BREAKING: Pam Bondi is being interviewed by the House Oversight Committee this week about the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be prosecuted as well.

My cousin worked in Starbucks main roastery in Seattle for 30 years. One day a few months ago he showed up for work and there was just a sign on the door saying that the roastery was permanently closed and they were all out of a job. Starbucks sucks so much ass.

@mark-carney.bsky.social “Israel is blowing up entire villages and residential neighborhoods in Lebanon, killing 200 to 300 civilians every 48-96 hours, calling it a ceasefire, and proudly sharing the footage of international law violations online, with absolutely no consequences.” M.S. (UN)

If you aren't watching 60 Minutes tonight, you should be. The first segment is about the stock market and comparing what's happening now to 1929. The protections put up after the 29 crash have been removed.

Things you won't see on Fox Republican TV...

The DOJ dropped misdemeanor charges against anti-ICE protesters, admitting it used improper tactics to secure the indictment. Kat Abughazaleh, one protester and former Democratic congressional candidate, said the administration's attempts to silence them are "not going to work.”

Privatisation of the NHS NHS spends record £241m outsourcing scan analysis to private firms. Private sector focused on profit, not service. Money buys less. Public purse depleted. NHS capacity not expanded. Why would it train staff? There is no public mandate for privatisation of the NHS.

These villains must be crushed. www.nme.com/news/tv/cbs-...

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

“It is understood the National Cyber Security Centre is not aware of a report from Farage related to the alleged hack.” That’ll be because it’s all utter bollox. “Just how stupid would you like us to be, Mr Farage?” “Oh *that* stupid. Let’s see what we can do…” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
