love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

I see Nigel "always cheated never defeated" Farage is now trying to stop non UK citizens from voting. This would mean my Irish wife would have no right to vote despite giving 20 years of hard work and taxes to the UK state. And where does it stop - the unemployed/benefit claimants will be next

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America? ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed AYMAN: Where? LUNA: Are you serious right now? AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation

So for all you “leave NATO” dummies out there, wanna explain how we defend ourselves without them? Britain, France, Germany, the GCC (Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman) are currently knocking down Iranian missiles and drones. And this is just Iran. Not a peer.

The cover of the Lancet says it all.

If another country suspects that Americans have drugs on their boat are they allowed to blow it up and kill everyone too, or are only we allowed to do that?

So, the Trump DOJ failed to release files concerning an Epstein accuser with claims involving Trump... but did manage to accidentally reveal that the files existed? Americans are fed up with this administration’s mix of incompetence and corruption. Time to come clean.

Al Green didn’t last long.

His video on avoiding left-hooks is equally good. "How much time did that cost us? Two seconds" youtu.be/qq3feP-10T8...

Great video explaining how to safely overtake someone who's cycling - and when not to www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nUK...

For years I used to add an hour a day to my commute so I could feel safer. Yet you add 3 seconds to someone's drive and it's the end of the world...

Yusuf: "When Nigel is prime minister, there will not be a judge in the country that will be able to prevent flights from leaving." Worth noting that the political precedents for saying, 'The judiciary cannot in any way check the powers of the executive' is not a happy one.

This has bugger all to do with the cycle lanes and everything to do with utility companies having the power to dig at will. But hey, the cycling angle will get more clicks.

The average household lost more than $1,000 to Trump's tariffs. Now the Court has spoken: this was unlawful all along. The President owes you an apology - and a refund.

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional. Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

The Supreme Court strikes down Trump's emergency tariff power on a 6-3 vote. The opinion, at least on first read, looks to be *very bad* for the president. The White House Plan B was to try and invoke other authority to do the same tariffs, but the Court's language seems to say that won't fly.

Anuses Assemble.

Nigel Farage lashes out at a FT journalist and refuses to answer the question. Is this how Reform UK would ignore media questions if they got into government?

When the hospital estates team need to close a section of carpark for a weekend, we get multiple all-staff emails informing and reminding us. When they close a busy secure bike shed with capacity for 100 bikes, that's frequently full, we get this the day before:

The only question worth asking at these incredibly flash Reform press conferences that take place every week now, is who is paying for all of this and what do they want in return bsky.app/profile/pete...

Cartoon by Nick Anderson

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

Massie: "She didn't answer anything. She came here ready to talk about the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq, which seems kind of crazy to me."

Drivers: If you're waiting for a cyclist to pass so you can come out of a side road, edging forward is a great way to slow the cyclist down since it signals to them that you're not in full control of your car and that they need to be extra careful.

This is crazy. Why the fuck did she have a list of the Epstein files that Jayapal accessed?

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Public reporting deters crime. We urge it for burglary, assault, fraud — so why not road danger?? Reporting helps tackle reckless driving and save lives. The Daily Mail mocking this as “villainy” misses the point. Accountability on our roads protects everyone. www.the-londoner.co.uk/jeremy-vine-...

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

"School Streets" have become a thing to watch. Even the loudest high-traffic neighbourhood trumpets will mumble "Except outside schools, of course", but this ignores how (1) kids don't live next to their schools and need to get to the School Street safely and (2) kids go to places that aren't school

Hello. Former Index On Censorship staffer here. To be very clear, having your request to speak at a society of which you are not a member does not count, in any sense whatsoever, as censorship. nation.cymru/news/uproar-...

Not been aware of this “uproar” anywhere but here. Either on the news or in broadsheet media. And there should be uproar. Because, in a nutshell, it tells you why Reform - in their infantile, idiotic, vengeful inadequacy - are so ragingly unfit for office. nation.cymru/news/uproar-...

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

Meanwhile in east London, the lifts haven't worked in the Woolwich and Greenwich foot tunnels for years and this gets zero attention, just an article in the local papers twice a year when the councils promise to fix it and then don't. 'London' didn't draw attention, drivers inconvenience does.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

The arrogance of people who tell others what clothes and headgear they should wear doing daily things like cycling to the shop is unreal. And none of them willing to wear high-vis or helmets in their cars "if it saves one life". Anything, but safer streets, and enforcement of existing laws.

lol

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

has anybody gotten confirmation yet from Mike Johnson that he hasn't seen the post?

A screenshot from a video posted on Trump's Truth Social account: truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

There’s one successful way to stop close-passing: police action. West Midlands Police’s commitment to taking action has reduced close passing in Birmingham. I used to report 2 or 3 offences a ride. Now weeks go by with only wide passes.

Putting on my suit and tie and going on America Erwache to describe a 234 year old basic requirement of the constitution for lawful searches and seizures as a “nonstarter.”

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
