One year ago, Sam was warning me shit was about to get weird

I've gone retro looking for a new career....

Hey, Mitch. You could have prevented ALL THIS by voting to convict him and bar him from holding office again. Asshole.

As usual, Maya succinct and accurate. Pay attention

Maya Wiley told the House Judiciary Committee that the attack on the Southern Poverty Law Center is a coordinated assault on civil rights orgs. As the administration guts enforcement & SCOTUS dismantles voting rights, multiracial democracy hangs in the balance. We're fighting.

There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

The proper headline here is CHARGES DISMISSED DUE TO DOJ MISCONDUCT www.cnn.com/2026/05/21/u...

Reeves cuts VAT on summer days out to 5% as part of cost of living support Will it make a lot of difference? Who will ensure that companies pass on the cut to customers? What about ending profiteering by water, energy, banks, vets, dentists companies; ending freeze on income tax thresholds?

Harborne gave the Brexit Party £6 million in 2019 and was mentioned in the Panama Papers but luckily the UK has the memory of a goldfish... so nobody talks about that

Not everyone in @nytimes newsroom went to an Ivory League college, so there must be a few other colleges.

And what, 10 minutes 30 seconds ahead of the team's press release? 1 minute ahead of the agent's phone call to the next schmo

Absolute state of the Oxford Union for indulging and encouraging these disgusting people. How is this not a major story?

When a woman says 5 minutes, think like 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter and both teams have all of their timeouts.

NPR: Swing voters in North Carolina say they are frustrated with President Trump and the state of the economy, but aren't ready to abandon him or his party as the midterms inch closer. If they always vote for Republicans, then they aren't swing voters Headlines like this, piss me off

Remember when this was supposed to be America? youtu.be/awsmXerhLqQ?...

This is not a sane world.

He gets more exposure on #bbc than anyone but reform. Ask yourself why

One of many reasons why the Founders specifically chose not to require that is because 8 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were born outside the colonies and 9 of the 95 representatives elected to the first Congress were born outside the US.

If only britain could learn to drink sewage

Governor Abigail Spanberger has vetoed a bill that would restrict ICE agents at schools, hospitals, and courthouses. Did we get Fetterman'd again? We have to STOP electing Democratic centrists.

Testify at a Senate hearing today, Todd Blanche told Senator Chris Van Hollen he's met with Epstein survivors and their lawyers. Within hours, 18 Epstein survivors released a joint statement contradicting AAG Todd Blanche's testimony, directly accusing him of making false claims. I believe them.

Has NFL agreed to gerrymander ticket sales for the event?

People forgot what the economy was like after Covid.

Point c is crucial. Just as Brexit was never a cure for our national disease, neither is EU one for our now deeper malaise. Virtually all parties endorse extending that malaise in the name of authoritarian &/or economic & social exclusion of large parts of the electorate, who vote for them anyway.

Agree. I blame MSM for continually normalizing Farage & labour for not taking on Farage on *all* his arguments, loudly & confidently. It’s madness that these ppl see racist, grifting Farage as a source of hope. It’s madness that we haven’t had a Brexit inquiry on the damage & lies.

Exactly. Starmer won leadership on a wave of antisemitic & other smears then won a huge majority w 33% of the vote on a platform of xenophobia & not being Tory. Now Labour refuse to accept that w/out standing FOR even their most modest values, they don't regain their right, they splinter their left

The coverage by The Times of the stabbings is exactly as Misan Harriman stated. It simply airbrushes out of existence the fact of a third stabbing of a non-Jew in Southwark.

Honest Bob didn't manage to acknowledge the humour

As per usual, @stephenkb.bsky.social was in great form in his Inside Politics. His point about Britons attitude to Europe is spot-on and that is why few people in Europe are paying any attention to Wes and Andy. As Theresa May used to say, Brexit is Brexit. Deal with it.

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.

"Seems in retrospect" ? What did it seem at the time? A group of people chosen for their bodies, exhibitionism & willingness to be manipulated for fame would produce "reality" without ever including anything real? Who could have predicted an audience incl journos would accept that shit as shinola

It's almost as if at least 15m Britons are being underpaid and can't afford to ever retire.

The idea of Frosty the No Man "taking control" of anything ought to have been enough to prevent any Brit with a brain from following Johnson and the slithy Give anywhere

Robert Jenrick: 'And where are we? Where are we less than two years later?' MP: 'Well you're in a different party!' 😂 😂 😂

This week's substack: SCOTUS>Midterm election fuckery>Corruption ... and a kind of hopeful conclusion. "No fate but what we make" frdhfirstroughdraftofhistory.substack.com/p/america-25...

"i hope not" a profound level of lying to yourself or lying to us

The New York Times, once again, not being forthright about Trump.

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

An attack on Black America is an attack on all of America. Remember: if they come for us, they’ll come for you next. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/u...

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

The median American voter would also stare blankly if the president of China talked about a Thucydides Trap, so Donald Trump is probably more of a man of the people than Democrats want to admit. by Matthew Yglesias
