The accuser was deemed credible by the FBI, who, however, were instructed not to investigate her claims.

I have been a vocal critic of gerrymandering. But the Supreme Court has unleashed the Republican Party on a gerrymandering spree. Democrats must respond in kind, removing any incentive for Republican states to gerrymander. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

The Motherland Monument in Kyiv was illuminated with the colors of the EU flag in an event attended by foreign diplomats, EU representatives, and Ukrainian authorities. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko stated the action symbolizes European support for Ukraine's fight for freedom and European values.

Reform's election success would not have been possible without thick, gullible morons like this chap, who thinks refugees get given £5,000 handouts over and over again.

Pastor Robert Jeffress: "It looks like President Trump has a better understanding of what the Bible teaches than the Pope"

Sen. Ron Johnson claims preposterously that as many as 3.9 MILLION (!!!) Americans died as a result of the covid vaccine Complete insanity

He then drew parallels with Ukraine and said that Ukraine's wish to be closer to the EU (back in 2013) had led to "Crimean story", events in the Donbas and later to the full-scale war. Putin always blames someone else for his criminal decisions.

Putin is making thinly veiled threats at Armenia. He said that Armenia should hold a referendum and if the Armenian citizens make the choice, then Russia would "go down the road of a soft and mutually beneficial divorce."

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

Retired Lt Gen Ben Hodges on the significance of Armenia hosting leaders from Europe, Canada and Ukraine for the European Political Community Summit: Your "future is much better if you're integrated into the West … than it is to continue to be handcuffed to a corpse like Russia." (IAM)

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said there was "no obligation" to declare a £5m gift he received from a billionaire backer before he became an MP. Sky’s Beth Rigby points out the rules

AOC: “Jeff Bezos purchased the Washington Post — he laid off some of the highest qualified journalists that made it an American institution so that he could turn it into a mouthpiece that launders his personal agenda & opinions”

The First Amendment is clear: The federal government can't punish media organizations just because it doesn't like what they have to say. By fighting back, ABC is sending an important message: Our rights are worth fighting for.

The drones were launched on the 8th…

This is even more humiliating for Putin than Ukraine disrupting the parade. It’s also strategically brilliant to make the announcement less than a day before the event when Russian air defence assets have already been transferred to Moscow.

Zelensky has issued a presidential decree “allowing” Russia to hold its annual Victory Day parade in Moscow. The decree provides exact coordinates of the Red Square that shall be excluded from the list of Ukrainian strike targets. Phenomenal power play.

For two years the 'Blue Labour' tendency has told the party's core liberal voters (in the famous words of Shabana Mahmood) to "f*** right off". Now they've acted accordingly www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/how-the-ma...

Trump Media, the parent company of Truth Social, just reported its 2026 Q1 results. It lost $405 MILLION on $900,000 in revenue.

There is no room for debate. The Far Right propaganda has consumed people.

“Xi will manoeuvre Trump into the spotlight in Beijing because he knows that all his massive flaws will be on display to China’s new allies.”

Keir’s in his room crying and won’t come out for dinner. Hope you’re happy with yourselves.

I do wonder whether Christopher Harborne (aka Chakrit Sakunkrit) is the only person to have secretly gifted an eye-wateringly enormous sum of money to Nigel Farage shortly before he changed his mind about running for office…

Reform won 58 out of 63 Wakefield seats. Labour dropped from 56 to 1.

I’m so relieved that people didn’t learn a fucking thing from the Brexit vote.

Labour’s affiliated unions have demanded a meeting with the PM “to discuss the urgent change in direction that we all know is needed”

The defining factor for the Reform vote and the Brexit vote is very low educational attainment. Same with MAGA, same with AfD, same with Rassemblement National. Should be enough for all serious parties to put education at the heart of their agenda.

The elections in the UK yesterday are so far showing Two Englands with a gulf between them - and maybe by the end Four Britains. A Disunited Kingdom. In areas that voted heavily for Brexit, Reform got 41%. Everywhere else they got an average of 10%.
