States aren’t “agents” of the federal government. Amendment X: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States….” Also, our Constitution assigns to the states the administration of federal elections, dumb ass.

It would have been nice if he was like this during his time as PM

This is a mix of accelerating cognitive decline/disinhibition combined with Trumps continuing compensatory response to severe ego injury over his mounting unpopularity. It’s accelerating the collapse of that popularity. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/trump...

Trump has just posted a video of the Obamas pictured as monkeys. This should hit headlines. We warned you about him years ago, but many made him a friend, defended him, salivated and gave him football shirts. Our thoughts are with black people everywhere and my own family. I am sorry. I am so sorry.

Black people voted for this racist piece of shit, that's what confuses me most

ICE will be at elections this November and it won't be pretty.

Racist woman to American with darker skin, "I'll call ICE and they'll shoot you like they shoot the others" The normalisation of racism and hate in the US under Trump is a really disturbing and sad thing to see

How did that work out between Trump term 1 and 2? So naive. Democracy is under assault, Trump is just the orange face, the people behind him are still there.

If only the quality of their political coverage increased by inflation

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

I hope this is true

I missed Calvin Robinson embracing Holocaust denial

I realise as I get older this bothers me more. Sick of the dark and/or wet days.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

If it is, he should be handing out billions to his mates for dodgy contracts and see if anyone notices.

For now, when he's off his meds, he'll hate it again.

Concentrate on your own fascist little binfire of a country

OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??

Starmer is so rubbish at media appearences/press conferences

Starmer finding that place in a Venn Diagram where he manages to annoy allies without defeating enemies

Breaking news: Kettle has strong thoughts about blackness of pot

Amazing how Trump is not in any photos but loads of other people are.

At this point, some leaked videos might help.

Infantino really is a premium waxwork piece of shit isn't he. A moral vacuum in a suit.

This is what "Christian Nationalists" stand for.

Here’s A Comic About Elon Musk & His Infinite Possibilities

Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets. Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract. And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts. Always follow the money.

"Really hard criminals"

For those keeping score at home:

👹

Absolutely embarrassing for the govt. that they have proscribed Palestine Action before the trial and the jury has found them not guilty. This Labour govt. is so out of touch with the public, it is shocking. I think Cooper should resign over this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cartoon by @andertoon.bsky.social #Epstein #Epstein

In one email exchange, Jeffrey Epstein and Olivier Colom, former aide to French President Sarkozy, compared girls to marine life. Epstein: “some are like shrimp, you throw away the head and keep the body” “I can;t even think of the smell of black shrimp. ugh” (www.justice.gov/epstein/file...)

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Donald Trump didn't break the political system on his own. Our broken political system is why we have Trump.

WaPo laid off one of the journalists who won a 2022 Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA. Facts that bear repeating.

But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.

Graham Linehan is testifying in the Judiciary Committee on "free speech."Naturally, he argues that in order to have "free speech," society must get rid of trans people.

The whole thing just goes from bad to worse doesn't it

They're already cancelled, he's just fucking with ya.

Wow, to do it is one thing Then to admit that in public is embarrassing.

Starmer — a prosecutor with a huge majority, coming in after years of sleaze and mendacity — could have weaponised the corruption of his opponents to incredible advantage. Instead he will be ruined by the living avatar of corruption in his own party. To not see that coming is a serious skill issue.

Mandelson leaks UK secrets to Epstein Epstein was working for the Russians And still Keir Starmer will not instruct our security services to investigate Russian interference in pushing Brexit over the line

3 million disgusting nudified images were produced by Grok in just 11 days. Existing safeguards don’t work; we need preventative measures for AI. My letter with other MPs to @lizforleicester.bsky.social.

Them - the Epstein revelations could take down hundreds of people from BOTH sides of the political divide! It would be CHAOS. Me - fine. Let’s go.

I can't believe it but I agree with Badenoch. Starmer was pretty stupid here
