Unprecedented corruption - not just monetizing the presidency by selling branded products, but selling those products directly to government employees and having the Department of Homeland Security promote them to the media

Unprecedented corruption

@quietriotpod.bsky.social once in a while it would be nice to vote FOR something rather than against. #UKPolitics

Good morning wulferhampton have a fantastic Friday you fabulous freaks

Interesting guy. No rock and roll lifestyle apparently. Still married and living in the same house as he was before Queen. Never gives interviews. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_De...

Just note that in 2024, voter turnout was 64.1% ... so fully ONE THIRD of registered US voters can't be bothered to vote .... even with early voting, mail-in voting, and same day voting.... compare that to say Germany who has 82% turnout on a single/ same-day vote. So stop complaining & just vote!!

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

THREAD: About last night…Democrats showed they can capitalize on the mess Trump’s made of the economy, his inability to govern, and his prioritizing billionaires over everyone else by focusing on affordability and pocketbook issues.

Fox News: A new poll finds about 70% of Americans say groceries are more expensive now than they were a year ago. About 60% of them are blaming Trump.

Perfect example of why jury trials matter. The government had to argue—in public—that throwing a sandwich at a man in a bulletproof vest caused “fear of immediate bodily harm.” And the jury called that what it was: overreach. Prosecutors shouldn’t go unchecked. reason.com/2025/11/06/d...

The Trump administration’s effort to gather private voter data from every state poses serious national security risks and raises privacy concerns, a pair of Democratic senators wrote in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

My favourite part of celebrity traitors was every single person in uncloaked going “oh Paloma” on finding Alan was a traitor

Noteworthy here: ♦️The ICE agent (or person pretending to be one) has put tape over his badge number. When asked to provide a badge number or name, he refuses. What legitimate rationale could a legitimate law enforcement have for deliberately hiding his badge number?

These days, believers in free trade are generally found on the Left and Centre. The Right is now intellectually incoherent on this front. Frost looks ready to embody this incoherence – someone who actively damaged free trade but then heads up a free trade think tank.

NEW: California’s attorney general said Thursday he’s wary of moves Trump could make to use federal power to interfere in the 2026 elections — through intimidation, suppression or purges of the voter rolls. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

So celebrity traitors. Keys are in locked glass cases. Why is nobody ignoring the locks and just breaking the glass?

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

Apparently the defence team said that this kind of case was their bread and butter.

3 weeks ago, we handed in a petition signed by over fifty-five thousand of you, calling on the Government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights. Following the 75th anniversary, our message is clear - the ECHR is essential for our rights and freedoms, and we must remain in it.

'America’s actions are strangely contradictory. If Venezuela is a terrorist state, why has the United States ended the “temporary protected status” of some 600,000 Venezuelan asylum-seekers and sent some back to the narco-jihadists?' www.economist.com/the-americas...

Leasehold exists solely to shore up the rights of feudal landowners. The fact that our modern society retains it and allows it to be exploited is a disgrace. It serves no useful purpose and needs to end.

Day 1352 and therefore thread #1,352 as every single day I document everything important happening in Ukraine + Russia as the latter's illegal war continues. Putin doesn't have many chips left - he's put them all on🔴, the blood of Ukrainians. An all-out gamble to break the west's resolve.
