Trump's racism should be no surprise. His company got caught committing racial housing discrimination. He spread lies about the exonerated Central Park 5. He entered politics with the racist birther lie. There's a reason Trump was once endorsed by David Duke and the KKK's newspaper.

The orange felon says he doesn’t know why Tulsi Moscow Gabbard was at the raid on a Georgia election office and Tulsi says she was ordered by him to be there. This treasonous diabolical scandal is growing bigger by the day and the American state media have no interest in it.

There is no logic to it whatsoever. Someone said on a podcast to justify racism and now they all spout it like it means something.

I never understood how people of faith could vote for this degenerate scumbag.

I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.

Yes, quite. It's the biggest scandal of this administration, so far, probably. It's an average Tuesday under Johnson.

Sounds like a plan. Can the EU formally investigate Nigel’s ties to Russia too please?

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

1/2 Bluesky friends. Colleagues and I would appreciate your help developing measures of political ideology for a planned large-scale study of mass beliefs. The online survey takes 15 minutes and the link is here: sheffieldpsychology.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... PLEASE REPOST THIS REQUEST

Nothing to see here. Just the head of Palantir saying Brexit was brilliant because it destroyed the UK economy to create cheap assets for the likes of him to scoop up. Starmer has given Palantir huge contracts to run swathes of our services. It’s all rotten to the core and Labour are complicit.

I feel like the president repeatedly crapping himself on television should be getting more attention.

Quote from Trump just minutes ago: "The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting." In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

Belgian PM Bart De Wever, "President Trump is hostile to the idea of the European Union" "When he says he loves Europe, he means he loves 27 countries, that would be slaves to the US" "Because the only economy strong enough to stand up to Trump is the European Union, and he doesn't like it"

Turn towards Europe Mr Starmer before even more of us turn away from you.

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite. But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite. Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

BREAKING: CBP agents who murdered Alex Pretti have been IDENTIFIED: Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Raymundo Gutierrez, 35. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Our important work at Kent Council to spend £600k on a car park to provide free parking for Reform councillors while staff have to pay, is all part of our 'We don't give a shit about anyone but ourselves' policy.

Just the undiluted racism left now. Everything else has fallen away… but the ugly core remains… and they’re peddling for all it’s worth… Got to keep their elitist über-wealthy donors and foreign backers happy.

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later. Wonder why that is.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

ICE is already turning its surveillance state on U.S. citizens. Are any of the “free speech absolutists” going to defend the 1st Amendment? Hello?

Far right extremist Tommy Robinson endorses Matt Goodwin. A vote for Reform is a vote for division, hate, and all that goes with it.

Kamala Harris warned everyone. Hillary Clinton warned everyone. I’ll never regret voting for them.

Reform has always lied when they said they were the party of the working class. They're all millionaires! They don't care about you!

The WSJ is really in denial mode.

Yesssss. Separate out DHS and shut it down.

NEW ANALYSIS: UK household electricity bills have risen over the last 5 years. BUT: Despite frequent claims that net zero is to blame: 2/3 of the increase is because of high gas prices shows new @ukerc.bsky.social report. Arguably without renewable energy the UK would see even higher bills today.

Badenoch's strategic genius on full display here, telling centrist voters to fuck off, including in the 60+ seats the party lost to the Lib Dems, so she can focus on competing with an extreme right party ahead of her in the polls.

No response yet from Reform pundit and activist Tim Montgomerie about his party's selection in Gorton and Denton

Sorry but why the fuck would you *not* want to recreate 2006?Pre-financial crash, pre-austerity, pre-Brexit, pre-inflation. Britain's economically healthy, decent public services, largely competent government, fairly amiable political disputes. What kind of person prefers this period to that?

Reform shock electorate by selecting a candidate even more racist than we thought they were going to

Liz Truss's real legacy

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

We’re airing a new campaign ad, starting tomorrow. Here it is:

Braverman is one of the most repulsive politicians out there. Vicious, fascistic, useless, without principle, loyalty or *any* actual genuine success to her name. Just cheating, lying, letting people down and delivering failure. No wonder she feels she’s “come home” to Reform. It’s a perfect fit.

Here's new Reform MP Suella Braverman, boasting about the time she took a trip to see a wall on "the land border between Italy and Turkey" which caused "crossings on that border to plummet"

Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.

Senator Rosen calling for Noem’s impeachment. More of this, please.

The Atlantic finally catching up with what some of us have been saying for *years*

They owe her, and all of us, an apology.

I think this is right. In general the thing that *all* the replacements to Starmer haven't reckoned with (other than Miliband, who doesn't count because IMV he genuinely does not want it), is that Reeves' budgets have placed neither public services nor the public finances on the road to recovery.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "I don't know. You kill a man and then you just leave? You're law enforcement and you just leave? Is there a single case in American history where you just, like, walk away and say, 'I guess that just happened and we're not going to clean up our mess'?"
