The fucking irony of a party themed on The Great Gatsby - a novel they’ve obviously never read.….

Grateful to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on #CriticalMinerals for the opportunity to engage on behalf of the @unibirmingham.bsky.social Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements and Critical Materials with their recent meeting at the Palace of Westminster.

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

That we know of.

This is now the second-longest government shutdown of any kind ever in the history of our country. The two longest shutdowns in US history both while Trump was in office. He is the common denominator. That needs to start being the headline.

I guess people had short memories.

Destroying our heritage🥲

American democracy today....

Seems like the president and entire cabinet responding to today's rallies by posting straight up 4chan filth would be a major story tomorrow. Anyone care to place any bets

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages. They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely. They get pardoned when they commit crimes. They ignore the laws. There is zero congressional oversight.

Call me old fashioned but I miss the days when we would all be shocked if a President posted a video of himself flying over protesters and dumping poop on them. I miss the days when a video like that would have been grounds for instant removal from office. I miss accountability.

Boston. Wow.

Judge Dariusz Łubowski on the decision regarding the extradition of the suspect in the Nord Stream bombing: “Those actions were not unlawful. On the contrary, they were justified, rational, and fair.” 📹 tvp .info

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.

Fox lies. Always wants gullible eyes on them.

No words

Nice recap

Remember, decent people like us were traumatized seeing infants and children in cages forced to appear in court alone while separated from their parents. America voted for a second, more violent and inhumane term. America voted for this. Stop pretending ICE just happened out of thin air.

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump No Longer Remembers That He Was President and Controlled the FBI on January 6, 2021, Confirming Americans' Worst Fears About His Advanced Dementia

Crockett: When you I say you are the least qualified in the history of the FBI, it’s real… Patel: That’s false Crockett: I didn’t ask you a question. I want to talk about why you're a failure and honestly we need to tell you, bye, bye

So a man who has a lot of money can video in to a crowd of concerned people (with a thug at its heart) and basically call for insurrection in a country in which he has no citizenship or other interest apart for money and the UK Govt does nothing and continues to fill his pockets by using his SM 🤔🤔

Guaranteed this is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind. And then SCOTUS giving this POS broad immunity. America has lost its soul.

Welcome to America, where the convicted sex offender president is about to pardon the convicted child sex trafficker whose client he was.

The timing of the "split" is no coicidence. Putin and Musk put Trump in office. Musk already got what he needed. But Putin installed Trump SOLELY for Ukraine. Zelensky outsmarted Trump and Putin. Trump is in trouble!

Sources reporting that Zelensky has called Trump and offered to mediate a peaceful resolution between Musk and himself.

Ukrainians watching this big beautiful beef unfold:⚡️ Zelensky promised to end the war between Trump and Musk within 24 hours.

#NAFOmemes ⚡️ Zelensky promised to reconcile Trump and Musk within 24 hours

Bucharest is excited for their mayor, Nicușor Dan, to have been elected the new president of Romania! The world is rejecting Trumpism.

Surely time to revive the Airplane film franchise...

Another example of awkward bedfellows...

And there is no war there, so they are NOT refugees. They are simply Nazis being shipped into the United States.

Keep your hands off the American people.

Nearly 600 voting lawsuits were filed from 2021-2024, but two-thirds focused on just 9 battleground states. Three states saw none. When most of the country is ignored, voter suppression goes unchecked. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

The number of vehicles sold by Tesla fell 81% year-on-year in April in Sweden and 73.8% in the Netherlands, with steep falls in Denmark, France, and the UK, despite demand for EVs going up.

BREAKING: Biden weighs in on Trump and Zelensky Oval Office disaster: "What the hell’s going on here? What president ever talks like that? That’s not who we are. We’re about freedom, democracy, opportunity, not about confiscation."

Planes were briefly “flying blind” into Newark Liberty International Airport last week after a communications blackout occurred. Sources said the outage lasted 90 seconds on April 28th and shook up the on-duty controllers so much that some were placed on “trauma leave.”

Just briefly chatted to a local Labour party acquaintance while sitting on my park bench. He’s not happy with Keir Starmer, he says, ending our conversation muttering about “fucking Blue Labour”. He’s what those on the left of the party would describe as a moderate. Keir is losing the changing room.
