The 3 dissenting justices want a CONSERVATIVE unitary executive to empower and protect a strict, conservative dictator. If Democrat president wielded unchecked power to enact a liberal agenda, they would overrule every executive order. A conservative King gets a free pass.

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years. That’s 13 years of a failed “war on drugs”. Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives. This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party" The simple, basic question to ask was, "Can you explain to us what Section 122 is & why it is now a legal justification for the same tariffs just deemed illegal by SCOTUS." 🦗🦗

No Democrats should attend the SOTU, which will be a blizzard of lies and insults from the worst and most unfit President ever. Or failing that, attend and then walk out as soon as he starts to talk.

Happy Pancake Day to all who celebrate

Don’t forget Minnesota. Don’t lose sight of what the Trump Administration and Kristi Noem and ICE and the rest are doing in Minnesota and elsewhere in the USA. Stand. Speak up.

There is a major political organization allied with the president that got so mad a Latino artist was tapped to play at the Super Bowl they made a whole alternative show. We should all take a moment to reflect on that. It is so blatantly racist.

@footballcliches.bsky.social - US commentary on Liverpool v Man City - Lee Dixon pulls out cometh the hour after Szoboslai’s 74the minute worldie. No.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

our government used a Blackhawk helicopter in a major American city, detained children and zip-tied U.S. citizens all to target... squatters and the alleged Tren de Aragua presence? "It was a brutal lie against the American public." www.propublica.org/article/chic...

💯

The entire press corps should walk out, not come back, & we simply shouldn’t tolerate this. Months of “Joe Biden won’t do a press conference.” A nonstop national story. Same with Harris in Aug/Sep 2024 & interviews. Trump does this stuff & everyone shrugs. It’s appalling.

Games gone.

Hearing that masked state agents are marauding around American cities, forcing anyone they can find into unmarked vehicles, driving them to cinemas and ordering them at gunpoint to go and watch MELANIA.

I'm begging the media to state this clearly -- we are all in danger now because of the deliberate choices made by Trump's administration and RFK Jr in particular. When the next major outbreak of a preventable disease strikes, they'll point the finger at other people. But it'll be their disaster.

"They told us what they were going to do. They published it. They put it on a website. And when it happened, the press was surprised." Hoo boy, everyone should bookmark this @parkermolloy.com piece & make sure everyone involved in media reads it.

It's not even the Tory-lite Party any more, is it? It's just The Tories - with special guest star, Nigel Farage.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Shocking article in the Sheffield Tribune. A solicitor, Andrew Milne, buying up freeholds of houses and then making (false) threats to the leaseholders to bully them into buying the freehold at a huge premium.

The public should be protected. Three immediate steps: 1. the police should investigate Milne for fraud.

@footballcliches.bsky.social match of the day commentary described Romero’s equalizer against Burnley as a “towering header”. Not having that - he was almost horizontal as he made contact. Obviously not “Towering”. But what is the correct adjective? Glancing isn’t right either!

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social was listening to the guys on @footballcliches.bsky.social discuss your interview on football recently, and they would love to have you on their Football Cliches pod to discuss you top football fascinations and irritations - you'd be great! More fun than running NYC!

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

Democrats have no obligation to support a bill that not only funds the dystopian scenes we are seeing in Minneapolis but will allow DHS to replicate that playbook of brutality in cities all over this country.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

A country where “uncrustables” are an actual product needs to sit back down when it comes to food criticism

Four GOP Senators. At most four Repubs in the House. Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

the entire population of England in 1086 will return in... Avengers Domesday

Jenrick is slagging off the Conservatives. He's going to be shocked when her finds out which party he was a member of this morning.

This is a critical point. What we're really witnessing is the *collapse* of law and order, brought about by Trump's lawless thugs. I think a lot of ordinary people intuitively understand that this is what's happening.

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

they have extracted all the semen from every ice agent who plugged themselves alone in a marriott bathroom and now the president is going to drink it

@footballcliches.bsky.social watching Derby v Leeds on ESPN, and as Derby went 1-0 up the commentator said that “now we have a cup tie on our hands”. ON our hands is a weird turn of phrase isn’t it? Where does it come from?

The everyday courage of normal people is breathtaking

Come the fuck on. Five hours later and the headline is still about a disputed shooting. Just a basic lack of courage to acknowledge the obvious.

This is a Republican member of congress describing the USA as the "dominant predator force" in the Western Hemisphere - which incidentally has a combined population of ~1billion of which less than 35% are Americans - the vast majority of whom don't agree that the USA should act as a predator.

We don’t need to call Farage names. Brexit’s record does that for us - a catastrophic failure. Alongside a whole lot of donations from some pretty questionable sources. Funny how loud the insults get when the facts start to land. Join.greenparty.org.uk

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

Trumps regime are likely correct that no one will confront it militarily, but that doesn’t mean that countries and people are powerless to respond. Americas military might be untouchable, but Americans are not. The risk to individual Americans has increased a lot.

I think the only way to settle the T Mobile and AT&T dispute is for Luke Wilson and Billy Bob Thornton to fight to the death

If you're still on X: why? I had 270,000 followers when I closed my account. But all I lost was 200,000 bots and trolls. The real people — the funny, the decent, the smart, the interesting — are already here. They'll find you. Leave X. Just do it. It's personal, political and societal poison.
