The IMF is full of sh*t. Note: the IMF did not tell oil and gas producers, and wolrd governments, to cap oil and gas prices. Secondly, the IMF says deficits are debt. That's a lie. They tell it to create unemployment and debt for those less well off. www.theguardian.com/business/liv...

FIRST COUPLE TESTIMONY Epstein survivor Juliette Bryant sent video in response to Melania calling for the victims to testify. "Here I am testifying that everything I've said is true. Unfortunately, a lot of the girls who testified died. Maybe it's about time you and your husband testified too."

I’ve seen the chaos inside the Trump Admin and how his plans hurt Virginia families. So, I won’t stay silent. Today, I launched my campaign for Congress. I’ll fight to undo the harm — but I can’t do it alone. Share if you’re with me.

This is great news. And I'm especially encouraged by learning they didn't just sell to the highest bidder.

Okay, who did this? 😂

The Italians could knock up some pizzas for the GIs. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

It's funny how military hawks always pick on welfare as the reason why their budgets aren't big enough. They never look inwards and question whether their own incompetence might be an issue. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Tend to agree. Blue Skies lacks...punch. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Rawson's prose is just as cutting as his cartoons. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well he is on the right but it sounds like is going to go after Orban's corruption, reform the voting system that was tilted in Orban's favour, move away from Putin and towards the EU & stop the harassment of the LGBTQ+ community. So a definite improvement & step forward. bsky.app/profile/adam...

And in a political landscape that often feels locked into its own habits, that alone feels like a small, unexpected victory

Hungary’s prime minister is more important to Donald Trump than all of his voters put together, than all Americans, than America itself, and it’s not even close. I wrote an essay yesterday to explain why: snyder.substack.com/p/the-hungar...

He’s gonna be busy.

Oh.

🇭🇺 Budapest: "Russians, go home" According to a poll by the Idea Institute, Tisza is ahead of Orban’s Fidesz — 50% to 37%.

LIKING 👇 JOHN FUGELSANG.....

If you can automatically register people for the draft, then you can automatically register people to vote. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

One step further: it should be unthinkable that we would register people for the draft without first making sure that they are registered to vote. And indeed: it makes no sense generally to hold elections without making every effort to make it as easy as possible to vote! That’s what democracies do.

500 days of non-stop, uninterrupted #GeorgiaProtests. Until the end, until victory! 🇬🇪🇪🇺

Bristol Green party didn't create this mess, a regular occurrence, but they don't have solutions given its been going on for several years, and still, no improvements. Point? It's easy to make a statement such as hope, not hate. But, at some point, you have to have a concrete plan.

@blueskies.bsky.social Your spell check appears ... selective. Why? I note that when making comments about Russa, options for corrections decrease.

A bigger humiliation than having Trump as a president? I think not.

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

🤣😂🤣

The fact that Donald Trump is not on trial for war crimes is one of the great moral failures of this country… WHO AGREES?! 🤚

The Debbonaire deal: how corporate sinecures keep Labour wedded to the right morningstaronline.co.uk/article/debb... #morningstaronline

People, including me, are naive when it comes to Trump and his billionaire mates. The Iranian situation is chaotic. Stock markets love chaos. The clever players make a killing. As for oil, all oil producers are laughing, including Russia. The CEOs of BP, Shell, Exon are making a fortune.

😭

for me impeachment isn't what we should be after. this president and most of his cabinet and staff should be prosecuted for corruption, fraud, war crimes, obstruction, and all the various crimes they have committed. i will only vote for a presidential candidate in 2028 who commits to this.

Hilarious. UK gov bans the lunatic on the basis that his presence would 'pose a threat to public safety'. So what do Musk, Zuckerberg, Thiel, Karp, Trump, let alone the private equity companies screwing us 7 days a week, represent? The teddy bears' picnic? www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

Private equity controls our lives from the cradle to the grave. Profiteers from hospitals, nurseries, housing, care homes, undertakers. Business model - high prices, low staffing/wages, high debt, asset-stripping, tax abuse. Life commodified & financialised. Profits for the few, misery for many.

My MP, a Labour Minister, refuses to countenance bringing water companies back into some form of public ownership. Instead, she believes more regulations are the answer. Delusional. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

BROWDER: Rubio was chastising Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, for doing defense deal with Ukraine without getting permission from U.S. They're pissed. We're in world where superpowers aren't so superpower-ful anymore, and supposed weak powers aren't so weak.

Aviation fuel is about to in short supply. The UK government and EU plenary should ground all private jets. Let's see what happens when the billionaire l, non-tax payers, can't just travel when they want to.

Every country and company on the planet should sue the United States for financial damages.

Your occasional reminder that public ownership is popular. vist.ly/4xahp

But he is probably 100% accurate…..

Donnie Krasnov is, surely, now clinically insane. Congress must activate the 25th Amendment and demand a freeze on all family assets pending a full investigation into corrupt finances. #Rico

Christianity is the biggest, most profitable scam in America.

They’re bombing lifelines, not military targets….

Why is the @theguardian.com promoting 3rd-rate journalism? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

What a load of old horse crap. The w*nker didn't even mention billionaires. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

🇫🇷 France Macron condemned the strikes as conducted “outside of international law.” Refused to let Israeli planes carry US weapons over French airspace. Vowed France “will never take part” in operations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

🇩🇪 Germany President Steinmeier called the war illegal outright: “This war violates international law. The justification of an imminent attack on the US does not hold water.” The Bundestag’s own legal service backed him up.
