AOC on Trump’s reported plan to use $1.7 billion in IRS funds to compensate January 6 insurrectionists and pardoned fraudsters: “He’s using the entire government as a slush fund… one of the most unpatriotic and un-American acts I’ve seen in my entire life.”

The White House said Xi agreed that the Strait of Hormuz must stay demilitarized and that China opposes any toll by Iran. China’s own readout of the same meeting said something different. The Chinese Foreign Ministry’s official summary of the Trump-Xi summit made no mention of Iran.

One Reform politician is one too many, but Scotland remains an overwhelmingly left-leaning, inclusive, socially progressive nation, whereas England is en route to give unprecedented power to a guy like Farage. Scottish independence is not just a choice, but a necessity - for our country's sake.

This is a seismic result that will change our politics and change Scotland. I am grateful to everyone who has put their trust in us and supported our vision. Scotland has elected a record number of Green MSPs, and I couldn't be prouder of our new team. greens.scot/news/scottis...

A man jumped the WH fence on September 19, 2014, when the Obamas were there. He made it all the way to the front portico & they didn't build a ballroom.

Everywhere he goes. The ballroom is another scam bsky.app/profile/judi...

So are we at camping on the WH lawn in the millions yet? I will if you do Pass it on #NoKings #Ribbity #BeTheFrog

Trump’s mafia DOJ just indicted former FBI Director James Comey for posting a photo on Instagram of seashells on the beach. This is where we are at.

🤣

Donald Trump’s DOJ has indicted James Comey again? Something something witch-hunt something something weaponizing the government.

MAGA accounts tweet in unison about the need for a White House ballroom following WHCD incident

They think we are all stupid. 🤬

JFC! We don’t need a damn ballroom the size of a Costco. The Secret Service needs to just do their f*cking job!

I didn't see this one coming, but the MAGA argument that the Southern Poverty Law Center has been working to *support* white nationalist terrorism in the South and the Republican Party is trying to *stop* that might be the combo punch that finally breaks me.

Donald Trump has called me an "election stealing lawyer," a "radical" and a "bad person." He has posted that I am "scared" and "should be." His FBI director said I am "the enemy of the Republican Party." I won't stop speaking out against the threat Trump poses to elections and democracy. Period.

Russia has been invited to take part in the upcoming G20 summit in the U.S. at the highest level, the Russian Foreign Ministry claimed on April 23. kyivindependent.com/russia-claim...

Trump found his next Secretary of the Navy.

12 members of the Senate Democratic caucus voted to confirm John Phelan, meaning they played a role in this whole navy leadership crisis we are currently experiencing. the republican ruin of america continually gets a democratic party assist www.senate.gov/legislative/...

“kill any boat” Boats be like

Trump: "I have ordered the Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), putting mines in the Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation. Additionally, our mine 'sweepers' are clearing the Strait right now"

Well now we know why the top Navy brass was fired. He refused to give these illegal orders & commit war crimes. #DutyToDisobey #WarCrimes #OperationEpicFailure

Reading John Phelan's bio in the wake of his departure, it seems his main qualification was he was Trump's generous neighbor. I'm sure making someone so unqualified Secretary of Navy was a scandal at the time of his appointment, but I probably forgot it due to the crush of outrages.

Hegseth’s political purges of the professional military have been deeply troubling and destabilizing. But I don’t have any problem with him getting rid of John Phelan, a big Trump fundraiser who did not have a military background, as secretary of the Navy. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump’s morning posts: — Let’s kill Iranians who don’t want a deal — I’m ordering the Navy to shoot any boat putting mines in the Strait — We actually have full control over the Strait — I don’t need a deal

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates. “I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

Whoops… i wonder how on earth that could possibly happen!!!? Ask Wes Streeting or better still Palantir!! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Beggars belief that Met Police is in talks with #Palantir about giving them access to highly sensitive data, when there’s already such concern over its links with ICE & Israeli military. Palantir already has UK contracts worth over £500m, incl. with NHS. We should be scrapping them not signing more

The UK is exploding with rage at Palantir. More of that in the USA! Destroy all monsters. Palantir must be destroyed.

Everyone is talking about Palantir’s controversial manifesto. Last year, Mark Wilding from Liberty investigated how the UK government handed our data to Peter Thiel’s company

NEW: Palantir employees are now questioning the ethics of working for a company that has become increasingly intertwined with the machinations of the second Trump administration. @makenakelly.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/palant...

Prince Harry: #Ukraine has very much earned the respect of the world through its leadership, through its resilience, and through its conduct, and of course, through its innovation.

The 20th sanctions package and loan for Ukraine have indeed, both been approved at the EU summit in Cyprus. Zelenskyy hopes the first payment can arrive within a month.
