I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

Dumbass Donnie earned his reputation from day one!!

Reporter: How did you decide to reopen Alcatraz? Trump: I was supposed to be a movie maker… Nobody ever escaped. One person almost got there but they found his clothing rather badly ripped up, a lot of shark bites…

Orlin Roussev, Biser Dzhambazov and Katrin Ivanova, three Bulgarians all now convicted of spying for Russia, were present at a Brexit debate in a House of Commons committee room in May 2016. They. Knew. What. They. Were. Spying. For. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This insanity needs to be stopped. Israel is barbaric and no friend of any nation. Israel must be stopped & Palestine must be defended.

"Donald Trump Is Mentally Unfit for Office. Here’s the Evidence" In my latest piece for Zeteo, I bring receipts and ask the question: Why is the media giving a pass to a 78-year-old who keeps making delusional and unhinged remarks? Read/share/subscribe:

Tesla sales in Europe halved in Q1. European brands did well... Volkswagen: (+157%) BMW: (+21%) Audi: (+51%) Renault: (+89%) Mercedes: (+6%) Skoda: (+93%) Peugeot: (+8%) Cupra: (+179%) ... all selling somewhat more cars. Who'd buy a Tesla? insideevs.com/news/758570/...

The Internal Revenue Service lost 31% of its auditors from buyouts and layoffs tied to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, departures that are likely to hamper the agency’s ability to go after tax cheats Who would have guessed www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Nigel Farage wants to scrap council climate and diversity jobs. Is that ‘reform’, or revenge politics? This piece explores how Reform UK misdiagnoses Britain’s problems, and who pays the price. 🧠 Read The Bear's analysis here:

‼️NEW REALITY SERIES on the "Faux Entertainment Network": "THE DEPLORABLES"‼️

This image is a good reminder that when you pay for a membership at Mar-a-Lago, you're not paying for the garbage facilities and tacky décor but for direct access to the President of the United States and his family as part of the most encompassing Bribery scandal to ever infest American politics

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have found that getting vaccinated against shingles- a painful and debilitating condition that can flare up years after infection from varicella zoster virus- not only LOWERS the risk of infection, but can also PROTECT against dementia. 🧪🧵⬇️

You can explain it to them but you can’t understand it for them.

Yup. It feels cruel to deny deluded Brexiters their tiny sliver of a ‘win’ but, on the other hand, fuck ‘em. Weakening a country *before* an attack like this is an act of obvious treachery. We would, by any measure, be better off *in* the the EU *with* the 20% basic tariff rate.

Also, it's got nothing to do with anything our government has done. It's a mathematical consequence of the mad formula they're using as we have a trade deficit. Other countries that sucked up (like Japan or Vietnam) got screwed by the formula.

The American Brexit is here. An own goal of epic proportions. Prices were too high, so they… elected a guy that will send them through the roof. Putin and those rooting against us are no doubt extremely pleased. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

So Trump's belligerence and betrayal (of Ukraine most obviously) will wean Europe off its military over-dependence on the USA, but nobody in th Trumpverse has thought that the same approach to economies could yield the same result?

Britain's wrongest man rides again.

'If the media dedicated a fraction of the energy to explaining economic impacts of Brexit, that it's displayed in explaining the potential economic impacts of Trump's tariffs...nobody would be as daft as David.' @mrjamesob.bsky.social sends his first texter of the day to Idiots' Corner.

‘Weak beef’ deserves more pick-up.

Honestly, I’m glad they’re seeing it finally, but if it took you ten years to figure this out, you shouldn’t be advising anyone on *anything* related to politics or the economy.

It's great TV watching these CNBC analysts realize there is no "theory" on TV in real time and they can't even invent one. One just said "They're burning down the house to cook a steak." There's a phone ringing off the hook in the background no one's picking up. It's chaos, I recommend it.

James O’Brien Daily (all the highlights from my LBC show condensed into an hour) is Apple Podcast’s Essential Listen. Today, we provide a definitive unpacking of Trump’s tariffs, and I speak with the brilliant author Ta-Nehisi Coates. tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

This headline goes hard.

France did what the US failed to do. Lock up a corrupt presidential candidate! 👏👏👏

A ceasefire in Ukraine would allow Russia to reposition its forces and increase the threat to the Baltics, FT reports. Moscow aims to build a 1.5-million-strong army, doubling its troop presence near Finland and the Baltics. www.ft.com/content/9b50...

Ceasefire in Ukraine will drastically increase security threat to Baltic states, – FT citing Estonian and Lithuanian defense ministers.

Well, Republicans. Hear those "boo"s? That's a torch wielding mob on your horizon. ... You complained about "class warfare" when someone wanted to put tiny tax raises on wealthy people? Now you've decided to ruin the lives of the actual people who have pitchforks and know how to use them.

Powerful and heartfelt message! The saddest thing is that so many people are just starting to feel the pain from Tritler's horrible "leadership." He is Putin's boy, mentally unstable, convicted felon, racist, misogynist, hater, malignant narcissist, adjudicated rapist, traitor, cheater, liar......

And yet, they continue, year after year, to vote GOP. I lived for over 30 years in a rural area among farmers so I have seen this in reality.
