I’m struggling to follow Nick Robinson’s line of questioning here. #r4today

The midterms mean v little to a President that has totally subdued congress. It will just tamp up the constitutional crisis #r4today

This one hits hard.

Spoiling a lot of takes but begging a large number of other questions... "Worsening graduate fortunes, it turns out, are a particularly British problem" www.ft.com/content/649d...

“Blah blah blah, AI is great … now, where is my pay-check?” I’ve had it up to here with these former politicians shilling for big tech. #r4today

“Reform is trusted by the public…”. How? They’ve never done anything and their Cabinet is full of the idiots who broke it. Living in an upside down world. #r4today

I agree with Jim Radcliffe on one thing, that government does need to do “diificult and unpopular things”: specifically tax billionaires and corporations properly and cracking down on tax avoidance. #r4today #TaxWealthNotWork

Why so few calls for Charles to abdicate over sheltering of Andrew MW following #Epstein? Treatment of Starmer and Charles quite different. #r4today

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.

Herculean efforts to pin Epstein on Starmer here #r4today (note: no fan of Starmer at the best of times)

When your party’s previous leaders were Liz Truss and Boris Johnson I’m not sure you have a leg to stand on #r4today

Badenoch is so bad at this #r4today

. I want a plank in the Democratic platform seizing these tech bro traitors assets, money and stripping them of American citizenship and kicking them out of the country. They openly are 100% against Democracy and our Constitution. .

I find it so interesting, that in the wake of the biggest revelations about a coordinated sex abuse ring, our press coverage is log jammed on a single story about a gay man leaking information. Not the sex predators, not the victims. Nobody even talking about Trump, mentioned 2500+ times. #r4today

The one question I have on all this speculation of ‘will this bring down Starmer’ is: do we think, for a second, that this same scandal would have brought down Johnson? I don’t even like Starmer, but the conversation seems imbalanced #Mandelson

Greenwich and Kent announce merger to become UK’s first ‘super-university’

Wes Streeting is so unbearable. #r4today

Thought of the day from the Nan kid laureate Tim Stanley 🥱. #r4today

Curious that #r4today are covering Epstein files on Bill Gates, A Windsor, Mandelson, but not touching the prominent allegations against the President and the owner of Tesla.

The fifty first posts on my feed this morning were mostly about Don Lemon. None were about the Epstein files. I imagine that was intention behind Lemon’s arrest. #r4today

wut...

You know what would be great, if we thought about teaching kids how to live in the real world, to the extent that we keep talking about the online world. About human interaction, compassion, respect, empathy, small talk, interacting with nature, etc etc. #r4today

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

These guys are so dreadful at this. It’s like they just rock up unprepared. For the last time: Alex Pretti did not turn up at a protest, he was observing what was happening where he was! #bbc #americast

Laughing at these music journalists struggling to know what to say about Aphex Twin #r4today

#BBC World at One presenter Sarah Montague doing her absolute best to avoid believing her own eyes and ears regarding the #AlexPretti incident. I thought the BBC were all about both sides? Interviewed 2 conservatives, didn’t push back on any of the bad takes and moved on. Disgraceful.

Can ppl (especially Labour MPs) please stop using “psychodrama” in every goddam sentence. #r4today

Paging @bbc

Prioritising balance over objectivity is the most cowardly exercise that a news outlet or journalist can engage in. 'The evidence shows X, but the regime says Y - so it's impossible to know the truth.' Lies should not be afforded the same respect and credibility as the evidence that exposes them.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

These monsters are sick.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can

oh so its even worse

This is footage taken by some folks on their way to work this morning before the shooting. www.instagram.com/reel/DT5lGwI...

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

Mark your calendars. This week marks the beginning of the end for Trump. Unfortunately, thanks to his ugly blundering, it also marks the end for an era of American leadership and international partnership that shall be sorely missed. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

“On Greenland, has he got a point?” Get Justin Webb off our radios. #r4today

Gianni Infantino is a permanent resident of Donald Trump’s anal orifice #r4today

Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

The director of the FBI: "I don't read." His staff (paraphrased): "he doesn’t like meetings in office settings. What he wants is social events." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

What I can’t understand is why Emma and Amol argue the contrarian lines so vehemently with progressives but rarely argue the progressive arguments with those on the right? There’s no balance here. #r4today

Pay $1 billion dollars to who?! Trump? #r4today

Is anyone happy with this arrangement? Have ppl of Greenland been consulted. Not sure I’d mined to give US anything at this point. #r4today

America spends so much on defence—not bc other countries won’t—but bc its government is in the pocket of its domestic arms industry. It has been the case for years #r4today

Christ, Emma Barnett is such weak interviewer. #r4today

Marco Rubio arriving at #Davos #Trump

Trump on NATO: "The problem with NATO is that we'll be there for them 100% but I'm not sure that they'd be there for us, if we gave them the call". We did get the call on 9/11. 26 NATO members sent troops to defend the US. Hundreds died doing so. It was the only time Article 5 has been activated.
