Yep, they're also proposing to make it so that you cannot get ESTA without a smartphone. They'll get rid of the functionality on the current website and require you to use ESTA Mobile. Don't have a smartphone? Well, the answer will apparently be "tough luck, you can't come to the US through ESTA."

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

This is a video taken from Reformed News, a page on Facebook that features some pretty vile content. Nigel Farage must condemn these men organising in his name to smash up shelters in France. Disgusting.

The BBC is facing a coordinated, politically motivated attack. With these resignations, it’s given in | Jane Martinson www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Dangerous times for the freedom of the press. Regardless of the BBC's rightwing bias, this is not a positive development.

Wow! The lengths Trump will go to just to make Americans starve. His administration has ordered states to “immediately undo” any steps taken to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families.

How can these 'Christian' people in US government allow this? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Brexit [has] had a bigger impact on our economy than even was projected' Rachel Reeves said yesterday, continuing a pattern of senior government figures finally acknowledging how being outside the EU is holding back Britain's growth." The Tories who delivered this remain RESPONSIBLE for life.

Trump is innumerate. 100% is the maximum decrease possible. He should seek help - maybe some maths lessons in one of his university extortions.

Moskowitz: Do you think the Epstein list should come out? Farage: I have no opinion on it. Raskin: It’s been reported that he’s called for it to be released Moskowitz: I have it here. Do you agree with yourself?

Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with" JR then demolishes Farage, ending with "You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"

The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

MAGA Middle America needs to understand that Harvard has contributed to the USA and the World. It's best not to cut them off from international academia, otherwise the best talent will move to Europe, Canada and China. Xenophobia gets you (k)nowwhere. www.cnbc.com/2025/05/23/h...

Team USA, it's time to keep Donny boy in his playpen. Ffirst sentence is untrue - look up European Coal & Steel Community. And $250 million, as stated, would barely buy a new housing development. He needs to be isolated from all things international. USA position in World is damaged.

Trump is once again attacking President Zelensky (never Putin) — this time for saying that Ukraine won’t recognize Crimea as Russian territory. Donald Trump is a Russian asset.

Trump administration to exempt smartphones and computers from China tariffs www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Breaking news: The Trump administration announced that smartphones, computers and other electronic components are exempt from reciprocal tariffs, days after the United States imposed the highest levies on foreign goods in a century.

NEW 🧵 The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border. Story: www.ft.com/content/6dc1...

For decades Putin’s Kremlin has fantasised about two things - destroying NATO and ending the primacy of the US dollar. After only 10 weeks back in office Trump is well on the way to delivering both these things. And congressional Republicans, who used to guarantee them, are too cowardly to stop him.

The Trump admin has plans to immediately end U.S.-backed programs that combat child labor, forced labor and other abuses in dozens of countries around the world. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
