ICE’s lead contractor for a new program to covertly surveil and photograph undocumented immigrants across the U.S. said after pressure from French officials that its contract is not being executed.

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

This is a harrowing report of the inhuman treatment now being inflicted on people by Trump's ICE regime. It isn't hard to imagine these prisons developing into something even worse, like the camps in the Third Reich. #MAGAmerica 🇷🇺

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

Singer Bonnie Tyler says Brexit is a pain in the neck for limiting the time The 72-year-old artist from Skewen, Neath Port Talbot, is currently touring Europe but because of the new 90-day limit rule, she is left with little time to relax there. #Brexit bbc.com/news/article...

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Starmer has to understand he has no ‘relationship’ with Trump and — no matter how much he gets Mandelson to prostitute himself — never will have.

Gosh BBC Country File discussed 'that you don't mention'. Since Brexit UK now faces extra charges of £330 million a year for post-Brexit animal and plant imports. Great one Farage / Johnson and Co so that's why food prices are so high.

You know what? The EU & UK should put tariffs on US goods (from red states) in solidarity with Canada and Mexico. Rather than watching others get bullied and waiting our turn - we should unify against this bullying until the bully drops that behaviour.

Don't worry. All our allies hate us now, but Vladimir Putin is giddy that Trump is in charge and he is already manipulating him into starting a clash with NATO so he can take over Europe.

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it We cannot allow them to rewrite history. If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely youtu.be/MUrf7addcTA?...

Whoever dubbed this new US administration, the "Nerd Reich" was frankly a genius.

They purged ever sane Tory from the party after the referendum. Ideological vandals.

No Tory has any credibility in anything to do with Brexit. None at all in any criticism of lying, corruption, abuse, or collusion with bad political actors. None. Quite honestly, Badenoch may as well make balloon animals as she snarks on about leaving the EHRC.

RFK, Jr. claimed his anti-vax work was a labor of love that cost him friendships. He said he’d never made money from it. But now he admits he made (checks notes) $1.2 million from it. How do you “forget” about that much money?

How much could an inauguration ceremony possibly cost. $200m is an obscene amount and obviously that sum is far in excess of the actual cost. So what will happen to the balance?

Kemi Badenoch’s comments on the grooming gangs show her to be incapable of doing the job she currently holds and unfit for the one she seeks:

"Spain is planning to impose a tax of up to 100% on the value of properties bought by non-residents from countries outside the EU, such as the UK." Oh...
