"JD Vance, that smarmy little f*ck, getting up there and being like, “Oh, everyone’s complaining, but Vivek's ad tells it like it is.” What the f*ck?" - Favreau reacting to Vance fully supporting Ramaswamy's despicable ad against opponent, Amy Acton.

The AfD and Reform immigration policies are almost identical. There is no plausible reason for considering one far right and the other not.

Watching BBC News and it's striking to hear the presenters repeatedly referring to the AfD as "far-right" whilst refusing to ever say the same about the hundreds of actual masked blackshirts currently swarming British ports

Jason Arday's death is another dark day for the British media who never, ever learn lessons from the lives they ruin in the name of lining their own pockets. Vultures.

I understand the PM temporarily banning disposable BBQs but this is a symptom of the problem he's yet to comment on, the catastrophic impact to our climate. He must do better in addressing this.

Iran proposes deal to re-open the Strait of Hormuz only if USA surrender and pulls out the region while Israel rejects the USA deal on Gaza. So much winning.

This gets worse... So it turns out the FIFA council incl VPs were kept in the dark about this plan and it's a done deal in private by Infantino. Plus... He's essentially bribing members to back the plan. Get Infantino out. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Trump receives FIFA Peace Prize FIFA joins Trump's Board of Peace Trump interferes in World Cup Trump to put forward Infantino for Sec Gen at the UN FIFA announces proposed plans to sell part of the World Cup to private investors backed by the Trump's son in law The grift never ends.

The numbers from last night's game are a joke. From min 67 to 92: England passes attempted = 12 (5 completed) Possession = 7.5% Kane touches in oppo box = 0 in the whole game (Eng total = 7, Arg = 22) Stunning numbers.

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

The irony, all this while Farage continues to pedal his lies and now openly admits pocketing AT LEAST £5 million, while we all foot the bill. Makes you wonder what it would take for his supporters to turn their backs on him.

So, incredibly happy for, and proud of, Hungary. And looks like PM might even manage 2/3rds needed for a deep constitutional undoing of Orban's feckery. If EU has *any* sense whatsoever, it will THROW MONEY at Magyar, like a drunk yuppie at a stripper. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2...

bbc.co.ukHungary election: Viktor Orbán concedes with opposition on course for landslide election win - follow liveHungary's prime minister has been ousted after 16 years in power, with Péter Magyar set to be the country's new leader.

Without any doubt, this has now become one of the most serious and significant own goals in modern history.

Iran shuts the Strait of Hormuz. How's your great victory going Mr Trump?

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

BTW let's just be clear that these numbers are utterly made up, adding in all sorts of random stuff. By these calculations the EU charges the US 4x the tariffs that Brazil does. Not "reciprocal" in any way whatsoever.

Daniel Sabato reposted

The standout madness in the general madness are the enormous tariffs on South East Asia which, if these stick, is going to magnify China's sphere of influence. Geopolitical lunacy.

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy. “It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

🚨 BREAKING: After torpedoing yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky, JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation—only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy!

Class from Starmer

Starmer to Zelenskyy: You are very very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom.

Buyer's remorse, only one month in.
