Allowing this dead-company-walking to be bailed out again, instead of taking it into Special Administration and then permanent public ownership, would be a disgrace and a betrayal by the Andy Burnham government Enough is enough.

Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

Ossoff: “The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission. And you may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate.”

June 6 is D-day, probably ANTIFA's most heroic moment.

Every American should be disgusted by this.

This is a terrific post from @naomialderman.bsky.social - with genuinely helpful advice

Texas limits eligibility for Medicaid to families living below 15 percent of the poverty level, meaning that a family of three earning more than—get this—$4,098 annually is not eligible for any benefits. trib.al/xIxx6h8

I’m skeptical.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

I covered that march. Here's the first paragraph of the story I wrote about it: www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-t...

Prove me wrong, humans! Prove me wrong.

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.” “If [gas prices] rise, they rise.” "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation." Millions are struggling with the cost of food, housing, and other basic necessities. 70% of U.S. adults say the American Dream is dead. And this is how Trump responds?

#bbcqt 10 mins ago @VictoriaAtkins the useless Tory was keen to say she spent 14 yrs not "knocking" other politicians then 10 mins later shes forgotten that & is back on the whinge train sniping about phones (not Bozos) & other rubbish. A candidate for a failed politician that Reform will take

They aren't giving away their wealth, but they are pumping it into our elections. The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the super-rich control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

Oh, honey . . . if Democrats could *really* rig elections, why aren't they in power in the White House, Senate, House, and Supreme Court right now? You're such a simple thing.

My personal experience of social media switched from having various conversations with accounts regularly showing up in my timeline to mostly reading about stuff posted from big accounts - which seem to be the only ones able to show in my timeline more than once every six months

Links to Russia, Kemi? Ask Dominic Grieve about that, eh? Or maybe even your old boss....

Love this shot of Saturn near the solstice. The rings are casting those shadows on the cloud tops.

How much Americans have shelled out to Elon Musk through government contracts: $38 billion. How much Elon Musk made last year: $200+ billion How much Tesla paid in federal taxes last year: $0. Oligarchy is real. The system is rigged.

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5) www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Spoiler alert: nothing trickled down.

Amazingly enough the Royal Navy "supply and maintenance" contract for Portsmouth was awarded while @conservatives.bsky.social were in power and Badenough was at the cabinet table 2021. Yet another example of Public/Defence spending going to the biggest donors under the Tories

Inspired by ProPublica’s new database, I created a visualization of the nearly 400 LLCs that make up Trump’s business empire. That and more in this week’s newsletter. Read! Free! www.howtoreadthisch.art/where-trumps...

This one hits hard.

More price hikes from Southern Water, a company currently under investigation for a serious pollution incident on our nearby coast. It is scandalous that water companies paid out huge dividends in the past rather than build functioning assets. www.theargus.co.uk/news/2580847...

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

“Kemi Badenoch is using victims of grooming as a human shield to throw rocks”. Natalie Fleet questions Badenoch’s recent interest on the issue of women’s safety when it comes to Starmer, pointing to her time as women’s minister: “She didn’t care about grooming”.

#bbcqt Ratcliffe should maybe reduce the overseas employees at ManUtd as a first step to his de-colonising UK ... or just shut up and carry on colonising Monaco

How come ReTory keep getting to put up unelected panelists up on the panel. #MadNad is still pineing for Bozo and her judgement is more deeply flawed than the Mid Atlantic Ridge... tge woman who voted to protect Pincher beside Badenough #bbcqt

New in PN: Trump tries and fails to extort Canada "The American president is a toothless old tiger, roaring on social media as his real power slips away. He can still extort a secondhand Nobel Prize from a dissident leader, but he’s not taking the Stanley Cup."

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Heated seats controversy highlights the perils of connected car tech

But they were just casual acquaintances right ?

Seeing ICE agents falling over never gets old. Scum.

King Trumps attempt to undermine the UN is 1984 #minitrue named object, name is the opposite of its true role, the Trump Dictatorship. "The Board of Peace" is Corpral Bonespurs attempt to secure family an global inherited role coz after he's out of post they are nobodies. Let it help Gaza. End of.

CORRECTION: After reviewing the video, Fanone coughed "go fuck yourself." hahaha

Arrested? Charged with a crime? Convicted of a crime? Call Ed Martin at the US Pardon Office today! For a 7-figure donation to Trump’s PAC, you too can receive a pardon. Trump will even tell the press you were “treated unfairly”, even though he doesn’t know who you are.
