Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey: “Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela. Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe. “Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.”

Trump's actions in Venezuela shows why it was wrong to dismiss his threats to Greenland. If he's willing to do this, he will be willing to do anything

Fantastic discussion here of Russia and Ukraine. The two most notable predictions for 2026 Putin might well aim for a limited attack on Europe to a) test NATO and Trump’s detachment and b) divert or scare of European material support for Ukraine youtu.be/8ZnwpoBi6F8?...

The revocation of citizenship is a fundamental and brutal discretionary power of the state. One of the more depressing themes in recent judgments is how the courts nod-along and shrug when faced with this brute exercise of fundamental power, rather than subjecting this power to anxious scrutiny.

Russia engaging in some pointed disinformation, claiming Ukraine targeted Putin’s residence in Novgorod which Ukraine denies. It’ll be used as justification to hit government buildings in Kyiv.

Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things. When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

2025 advent calendar. Day one. You run downstairs, excited to open the first door. A voice in the back of your mind tries to tell you that you didn't actually buy an advent calendar this year—and this wasn't in the house when you went to bed last night—but you push that aside.

Listening to the #rentenpaket in Germany. I know who was against it, who qas for it, the tone and quality of the debate, but not what is in the rentenpaket. Pointless reporting. The content of the reforms not the soap opera. #journalists, do better.
