A👁 is not all bad.

This is exactly the point. Ffs wake up.

Good morning all. May your God(s) or none go with you this Wednesday.

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

The inflation figure is bollox. For essentials, it is too low. Actual inflation higher.

Russia’s leader isn’t nearly as strong as he’s made out to be, Andrew Ryvkin writes. “A realistic view of his power would strip Putin of his biggest leverage: the perception of his invincibility”:

Ballroom or mausoleum?

The contagion spreads: Irish police have battled hundreds of protesters outside a Dublin hotel used to house asylum seekers after an alleged sexual assault on a young girl. The crowd burned a police vehicle and hurled fireworks and other missiles at officers outside the Citywest hotel.

ICE tries it with NYC. Canal Street wasn’t having it. /

I'm not surprised.

Just published: my new book "Forgotten Times" (Amberley Publishing). 180 photographs taken by me in the 1950s and 1960s with scenes of the UK, Ireland and the outer islands and depicting a world largely unknown to the present day. #up2110

‘India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, celebrated surpassing 1bn tonnes of coal production this year, and in the US Donald Trump has declared his support for coal and other fossil fuels.’ We’re on a highway to hell. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A White House official tells Reuters: “Secretary Rubio and Foreign Minister Lavrov had a productive call. Therefore, an additional in-person meeting…is not necessary, and there are no plans for President Trump to meet with President Putin in the immediate future."

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

Pay attention U.K. This is what is coming your way if the likes of Farage and his Insurance mates like Arron Banks have their way.

American institutions don't crumble. But they can be destroyed.

@adrianramsay.bsky.social “There is no place for Freeports or Special Economic Zones in the United Kingdom. Their introduction will only serve to displace economic activity from elsewhere whilst reducing tax revenue that is so desperately needed for our broken public services.

Truth...

For the last time. Putin doesn't want peace. He wants capitulation. He wants to move onto the next country. He needs to stay in power.

So, let’s get this right, Birmingham authorities don’t want Maccabi fans at the game, Maccabi Tel Aviv club don’t want their fans at the game but Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch think it’s antisemetic for the fans them not to be there 🤷‍♂️ www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Kremlin rejects Trump's proposal to freeze Ukraine front line. Russia has previously rejected freezing the war along the current front lines while reportedly demanding that Ukraine cede the entire Donetsk Oblast. kyivindependent.com/russias-posi...

This is how I felt at No Kings, tbh.

Tonight marks a milestone for all of us at the PBS News Hour. On this day 50 years ago, we aired our first broadcast. The show had a different name, but the same mission to deliver thoughtful & trustworthy journalism. Half a century later, we're still at it & guided by the same principles & mission.

Talk about saying the silent part through a fog horn. Doesn't need votes. Doesn't need to win the mid-term. He's demolishing part of the original White House to make a gawdy ballroom with $200 million OF OUR PUBLIC MONEY. There won't be a general election in 2028.

Took care = we destroyed everything.

Trump: "We took care of Medicaid and Medicare. We took care of everything. We didn't know where we'd stand in a year or two years from now, so we put every single thing that we wanted in that bill for four years. So we don't need anymore votes."

The fact that the President of the United States posts an AI video of himself dumping shit on America from a “King Trump” jet and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Trump the destroyer.

I keep thinking about how General Gronewold said that the Oregon Guard would protect Oregonian protesters. I would love to see the Guard stand in front of that blue line at the ICE building and protect protesters from the illegal and brutal actions of ICE. What a powerful image that would create.

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all. Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

Taking the train tomorrow. Why am I so anxious?

Ellis and Colin the Dalek's first day at Amazon Web Services went swimmingly. #AWS #DoctorWho

Trump's AI video, showing himself as a pilot dumping shit on Americans, fits right in to a long authoritarian tradition www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Why does Trump want a ballroom? He doesn't dance... you can't call his arm waving a dance.

Trump just wants to make money out of the Ukraine war... along with his destructive attitude to allies of the USA.
