Infantino said this isn’t “a normal draw” That was at least thing said on stage that was true There were moments that approached propaganda, especially in the highly politicised interpretations to justify Trump’s Peace Prize - a debasing of football www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ireland potentially get Mexico, South Africa and Korea if they qualify.

This day 10 years ago Teresa Mannion was telling us not to make unnecessary journeys as Storm Desmond hit.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

The impact of the destruction of USAID is so wide-ranging. We got a field report from one of the poorest states in India, where foreign aid funded "TB champions" who educate and assist tuberculosis patients. Without their help, advocates expect a 36% increase in cases & 68% rise in deaths from TB.

In January, Donald Trump looked me in the eye on the tarmac, promising Angelenos that he'd help rebuild after the firestorms. 11 months later, he still hasn't delivered. That's why I'm headed to D.C. to push for a long-overdue federal aid package for survivors.

Donald Trump is handing his Big Oil campaign donors even more opportunities to screw over Americans at the pump and poison our air. Strong fuel economy standards save Californians money and protect our health, and we'll fight tooth and nail to defend them.

BREAKING: Trump’s economy. ADP Private Payrolls unexpectedly FELL by 32,000 jobs in November ECONOMISTS EXPECTED a GAIN of 10,000 jobs. TERRIBLE.

Some big seas expected over next few days, first into the West on Thursday and then Southwest on Friday night into Saturday. Bad timing too as we have high tides this week so risk of coastal flooding. Don’t park in car parks that are known to flood on the coast, like Salthill!

This morning, the President welcomed Mr. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, and First Lady Olena Zelenska to Áras an Uachtaráin on a courtesy call. Statement by President Connolly: president.ie/en/media-lib...

ICC judges wanted Netanyahu arrested. Now they’re being targeted by Trump www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Yellow warning issued just after that I made that post

The 3rd Impeachment.

Some big scoring on this week’s movie quiz. Don’t miss out.

Obama posted This. ❤️

This actually happened

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this #WestPoint plaque. It contains these words Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law That is precisely what Senator @captmarkkelly.bsky.social told officers to do.

TPUBLICAN is perfect if the "T" stands for TRAITOR.

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

BREAKING: TOLD YA SO!! Federal judge just tossed the indictments against James Comey and Letitia James without prejudice.

Are those "MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS" in the room with you right now, Piggy?

Increasingly, the polluted heart of the climate crisis appears to be Donald Trump.

Sunday looking rather windy so if you were planning to put up Christmas decorations then maybe hold off. Not because of the weather but because it’s still November 😆

BREAKING: Senator @ChrisMurphyCT on Trump's call for executions: “The President of the United States just called for members of Congress to be executed. If you are a person of influence in this country, maybe it’s time to pick a f**king side!”

It's World Philosophy Day! www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Again, I return to one of my BIG IDEAS (see my forthcoming book Patrick's Big Ideas): Taxation as a necessary mental health intervention.

This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.

The thing that gives me some hope is that while online right wing discourse is very, very cruel it’s also so witlessly stupid now that I feel they’re going to forget how to type soon

Donald Trump and Greg Abbott played with fire, got burned — and democracy won. This ruling is a win for Texas and for every American who fights for free and fair elections.

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace! #Justice4TheEPSTEIN_SurvivorsNOW ✊

And I have no plans to stop. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_FilesNOW

The California National Guard was never yours to control. Your takeover brought chaos to LA and diverted troops from firefighting, anti-drug trafficking, and public safety missions. This has never been about "law and order" for Donald Trump. Just a sick power trip.
