Leave hardworking people alone — tell your multimillionaire crooks like Richard Tice and your donors to pay their f*g taxes, and we won’t have to choose.

WYDEN: Are you gonna recommend the US taxpayer pay Trump $10 billion? BISIGNANO: I'm not rendering an opinion WYDEN: Give me your opinion! You're ostensibly somebody who is supposed to be doing stuff

As predictable as the sun rising in the morning 😂

The USS George H.W. Bush is sailing around the tip of Africa right now... toward a war zone...carrying 6,000 Americans. A third carrier. 10,000 more troops arriving before April 22nd. That's the ceasefire deadline. Do the math. Full breakdown at the link. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Another day with the strait closed. Another day closer to the largest economic shock of our lifetimes. Another day in which US stock markets set a new high.

WE NEED TO JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER LIKE REGULAR HUMAN BEINGS RIGHT NOW!!! THIS IS FUCKINGINSANE!!! DONALD TRUMP HAS FUCKED UP THE WHOLE WORLD AND WE ARE ALL GOING TO HELL ON EARTH TOGETHER!!! THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IS AN IMBECILIC GROTESQUE SHITHOLE OF CRIMINAL DEPRAVITY!!!

Now consider second-level implications. Trump is president of the United States and has the largest megaphone on Earth. Cancer is one of the biggest killers known to humankind. Trump thinks he knows the cure but won't discuss it with America. Why? Because he knows he's a grifter.

Consider the implications here. Biden knew that finding a cure for cancer was such a difficult task that it needs a whole-of-government initiative. He started one. Trump secretly believes he knows the cure for cancer but everyone around him has to hide it because it's *insane*.

I keep saying, as a Trump biographer, that this man holds deeply deranged beliefs—on almost every subject—he cannot be talked out of by experts, to the point that it can accurately be said that he lives in his own warped reality. 25th this man immediately.

If one of my party's recent prime ministers had redecorated the Number 10 flat in a way that ended up involving TWO separate inquiries and a Wikipedia page, I would simply not have put out a press release confirming that the current prime minister had spent less than the allowance he was given.

Indeed!

No-one who isn't a British brexiteer or a MAGA is the slightest bit surprised that the EU has held together. And, if anything, is stronger. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Well, to use a technical term, that's fucked it. 😬 "Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought. Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Keir Starmer says he will not "yield" to Donald Trump after he threatened to rip up the UK-US trade deal over Iran "I am not going to change my mind. I am not going to yield. It is not in our national interest to join this war"

"THE DISGRACE OF THIS ERA IS FAR FROM OVER. THE WORST LIES AHEAD, BUT I CAN SEE SOMETHING VERY CLEARLY. DONALD TRUMP'S FANTASY IS CRUMBLING." ~ STEVE SCHMIDT

£12mn cash for North East culture Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy said: “Across the country, people take real pride in where they come from. Our local arts, museums and libraries are a big part of that, telling our stories, reflecting who we are, and bringing communities together"

You can't keep on just slashing and burning everything that makes it worthwhile living and creates a sense of place and belonging. In the end you have nothing real left. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

They don't make them like this anymore! Take a look at this video, 'itv newsreaders caught on camera - soaking wet, fed-up' share.google/d1YqWL4GLPUz...

Just seen BBC are short of money & need to axe 2000 jobs- I have a suggestion 👇

It’s official: the UK is rejoining Erasmus! 👏🇪🇺

UNBELIEVABLE: Even Trump’s own religious advisors are turning! Bishop Robert Barron just broke ranks to demand an apology for the Pope. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-pick...

I think Jesus would knee Trump in the nuts. (Just a guess).

When did the News Agents become people to make up and spread disinformation?

OMG what nonsense. Is HMS Dragon there yet? Yes, of course it is. It arrived in the Eastern Med around 3 weeks ago. It also hasn't broken down. It had a minor issue with it's water systems which was being fixed in port during a routine logistics stop.

Reform UK candidate claimed COVID was a "staged event" by the US military, designed to control the population David Booth, who is standing for Farage's party in Croydon, said "powerful forces" in the Pentagon had seeded the virus Covid-19 bereaved families call on Reform to sack him

Indeed, GB went much more populist and rightwards than Orbán ever dared on EU membership.

If you haven’t heard about it yet, the youths are super into IRL human interactions, no AI, and “physical media” (vinyl! DVDs! tapes!) right now and it’s glorious. Like there are 20yo influencers that just read old paper books and talk about feelings.

“Oil and gas companies banked more than $30m every hour in unearned profit in the first month of the US-Israeli war in Iran, according to exclusive analysis for the Guardian. Saudi Aramco, Gazprom and ExxonMobil are among the biggest beneficiaries of the bonanza.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Colorado's wealthiest man owns Coachella. He also bankrolled Project 2025, and the right-wing machine that killed Roe. I spent 20 years organizing to protect the rights he spent millions trying to erase. That's why I don't take corporate PAC money. Join the fight: secure.actblue.com/donate/julie...

Farage knows this is not true yet he offers it, without embarrassment, to people he professes to represent. Trust Farage at your peril!

In court filings Tuesday, DOJ lawyers asked judges to vacate the seditious conspiracy and other convictions of 12 members of the Proud Boys group and Oath Keepers, including Stewart Rhodes.

When a reporter pointed out that Iran is "not listening to you about the strait" Trump turned on her. "Why do you say that?" ~Because it's still blocked~ He ranted about "Fake News" and said "I don't care" about Iran's military. And of course the person he attacked is a woman

Breaking NYT: Trump is now threatening to fire Jerome Powell if he does not resign from the Federal Reserve. Powell's term as Fed chair officially ends on May 15, but he can stay on as a governor until 2028 and has said he would not leave until the criminal investigation is over.

I wrote this piece after someone told me I needed to be “less emotional” and “more analytical” about Trump - as if we’re still living in a rational world, where reason and logic guide this administration, and its actions aren’t harming millions across the world. I disagree. We need to be angrier.

The purpose of AI is to free the sociopath class from having to pretend to recognise the humanity of other people.

Absolutely Barking.

They own this. Whatever disasters continue to unfold belong not to the president and his Cabinet alone, but to the entire Republican Party.

In other words - consult a medically qualified professional, or the NHS website. Not the bullshit online. news.stv.tv/world/ai-cha...

Reminder Reform & Tories would be supporting Trump in the war in the middle east, killing our military personal & innocent civilians. #NeverVoteReform #NeverVoteTory

Whatever the state of the current POTUS, I don't see the sense in antagonising him further by cutting Charlie's state visit. Let the King grit his teeth & earn his gold with a little entente cordiale.
