Yeah I think this was the right call.

US Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer marched alongside far-right Israeli Finance Minister and Criminal Bezalel Smotrich.

Perhaps I should have deployed this when ye were all hungover from CMAT but here this is, for all your future needs

It's easy to mock this, and I'm sure I will later, but right now I just think it's desperately sad anyone thinks this is worth the effort being put in.

googled a line from the movie walk hard, the desired result being gif options. this was the immediate result. mf acting like we’re friends.

One of the underappreciated arguments for PR is that there is a chunk of the electorate that will always be rabidly enthusiastic for obvious charlatans and grifters and proportional systems ensure they are as irrelevant as they should be.

Boosterism isn't analysis, and it's not actually helpful to Ukraine.

Flying today has been the most "I am completely divorced from football culture" I have ever been.

will they write an equivalent "James Talarico attacked Ken Paxton for releasing a child rapist, putting release of pedophiles front and center in the race" piece or do they only amplify GOP attacks for some reason?

Thread is bang on. But also agree „we need more NHS bureaucrats” is a really tough sell politically. (Full disclosure: Dad worked in NHS procurement for 20+ years)

It's OK if you don't want to be friends with people who voted for this.

The genuine, non snarky, response to this is that it's up to Romania to decide what requests to make of it's allies in response.

Every justice department official involved in pursuing this obvious act of petty bullying and revenge should be ruthlessly persecuted by the next Democratic administration.

This National Review writer is the epitome of a certain type: the anti-anti-Trump figure. Someone who claims to be anti-Trump, but in every election for the last 10 years finds some rationale to oppose the candidate running against Trumpism. Never willing to put morality above his partisanship.

Ok this is a truly great tweet

Folks is it ‘Israel First’ to be against Nazi tattoos?

When this turns out not to be true it should destroy Hassett's reputation. It won't because American journalists are bootlicking scum

is there a more laughable toady?

This morning I woke up with the bizarre thought that if Austin Powers had come out 3-4 years earlier they would have made a kid friendly Saturday morning cartoon version of it.

I find the idea of doing drugs to improve your performance at any task to be baffling.

"A question from the audience - all of you are fucking morons, as well as being deeply personally unpleasant. Why would we take your advice on anything?"

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaahahahaahahahaahahahaahaha

"he has a deep connection to esoteric Hindu mysticism"

Reform: the party of the worst guy you've ever met.

If I ran a company I would simply not replace middle managers, legal, HR and operations, whose jobs are to handle people problems, and replace them with the computer

"Obviously demented serial liar says thing."

Will be very funny if FG ends up winning Connoly's seat and this end up being a wash for the government on numbers.

🔵 DUBLIN CENTRAL 11am and I'm calling it. Daniel Ennis (SD) to win the Dublin Central by-election.

We really need to stop granting credulity to this kind of "politics as morality play" bullshit analysis. If the Russians had agreed to the (very generous) settlement offered early on in the Trump administration Kyiv probably would have been bounced into it. Putin believes Russia is winning and has

Today's Daily Cartoon for @newyorker.com by Kevin Maher and me.

One of the few things that gives me joy these days is knowing that deep in his heart Trump Jr knows his father doesn't love him and never will.

30% of Makerfield's working population are in trades/manufacturing or manual labour. 70% are in professional, managerial, admin or services jobs. 22% work from home.

You must understand: Lily, who works doing data analysis for the University of Bristol and lives in a house share is middle class. Brian, her landlord, who is a self employed plumber declaring around a third of his income is working class.

Slopulism comes to the UK from literally the most predictable source.

As with my previous post - every prosecutor involved here should be mercilessly persecuted by the next Democratic administration. If there's a way to put them in jail and take every penny they have, do it.

In addition to the satisfaction of it, this is why I think the next Democratic administration needs to absolutely bring the hammer down on these people. The Trumps have gotten Blanche to corruptly grant effective immunity from taxation. To restore trust you destroy Blanche professionally and

Probably the part where the space-faring billionaire asshole was thrown into outer space by the Trump-like villain.

This is a pointlessly cynical intervention from a man who never drew the requisite lessons from finally realising Jeremy Corbyn was a puddle deep fraud surrounded by goons.

We matter! An incredible milestone passed. Congratulations everyone!

Sally Rooney is a great writer with idiotic politics. Many such cases. The best option is to ignore them - www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

Once again - Starmer is busily delivering exactly the kind of policies Reform voters say they want and everyone is unhappy because those policies make everything rubbish.

Funniest possible outcome to all this is Andy Burnham ends up running a by election campaign reassuring everyone he'll be continuity Starmer and Wes Streeting somehow manages to beat him as the soft left option.

Excellent piece, particularly given that "less of stuff because orange man bad" is not a difficult argument to make and would be given a hearing by a lot of Labour's target electorate.

Watching Panorama and reflecting on how the transphobes who insist their concern is the safety of women who have zero interest in a show that basically encourages abusive relationships.

This is what failing to govern looks like. An effective government would have been talking from early March about possible consequences; leading a public conversation that isn’t sensationalist about risks and trade offs and possible phased measures at certain signposts. Instead crickets then panic.

When a regime clearly holds the rule of law in contempt, and views itself as completely above the law, it and its agents don’t have any moral argument for the protections of the rule of law.

How about: a) I believe the UK should rejoin the EU; but b) Neither we nor Brussels are ready for a formal negotiation; and c) EU membership would not be a panacea for our national challenges; so c) I will work to build trust and lay foundations with the EU, while advancing other priorities.
