Not only that, he's also proven that he could more than afford the additional taxes the Dems would impose on people like himself and still not be hurting. The same with all the other uber-wealthy who have spent MILLIONS to fight tax increases in California and everywhere else.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

www.wsj.com/opinion/vikt... It's a thing.

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei: “Tehran’s hosting of senior military and security officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey is a key development toward establishing regional diplomacy.

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

Some thoughts on hybrid attacks, and why they're so hard for us to talk about properly. Short version: 1) they have no elegant or obvious solutions; and 2) influence ops imply that voters are influencable and may have been influenced in the past, which is an uncomfortable conversation.

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

But not too near the Royal Marines base where many Fijians live... Or too near the Naval base where live people of all colours and faiths serving the country...

I did not think I had it in me to get angrier. I was wrong.

All you have to do is consider the immense joy that would come from helping millions of people (while remaining rich) that is within their grasp that they reject day after day to know how shriveled and miserable their souls are. Pre-ghosts Scrooges.

i thought about this old tweet tonight and how nothing has ever aged better

Just a courtesy reminder that Russia accelerated the ‘yellow vests’ protests in France a decade ago to target Macron. www.ifri.org/en/frances-y...

Not bombshells. Entirely on brand “appalling behaviour” and “extreme racism” from an appalling, extreme and racist party, led by an appalling, extreme and racist man. The apples are all rotten because the tree is. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Would you look at that, Marisa Kabas found out who this "Tommy" is! bsky.app/profile/mari...

the second el-sayed chose to treat tommy as an equal and not a nuisance, tommy was cooked

Robert Garcia In Huntington Beach: American patriotism is not screaming and yelling “America First.” American patriotism is that you love your country so much that you actually want to help the people in your country.

There’s too much caution about calling Farage and Reform racist. They have no such timidity when they threaten to strip us of our rights and protections, to mass deport people and kill them at sea. They routinely insult, perv, vilify and hate people. You don’t ‘nice’ that away. You call it out.

1,000 years from now, teachers will struggle to explain to their students how at this time in history, we found literally the most despicable human being in America and made him the most powerful person in the world

Brexit was a masterclass in the abuse of power and abuse of marketing by a bent politician and bent oligarch owned media. No effective safeguards existed to stop this criminal act being rammed through. From Tufton St to the Kremlin many hands had been massaging this for decades.

The ICE officer who faces charges for road raging in Minneapolis (pulling a gun on a random motorist who blocked him from driving his unmarked SUV on the shoulder) broke into tears on the stand and said he was under a lot of stress, ok?

Schools can not even give a child an aspirin without parental permission.

some deranged lunatic is going to storm an elementary school with an ar15 looking for the schools surgical center and the media is going to pretend we have no idea where they got that idea from

It's the Year of our Lord 2026 and people are still talking about "Not Poking the Bear" when it comes to Putin and the far right. I hate this idiom more than words can express, but I thought I'd write some words to express it anyway.

Dear Matt. Couldn't give a flying fig what she swore on. Have a look at the numerous chancers at Westminster who swore an oath on the Bible. It means nothing to them. Please go and focus on something that matters. Integrity perhaps?

Once again… This is not a vetting problem. This is a Reform problem. This is a Farage problem. Only grim losers like this are going to sign up to a racist, misogynistic, extremist, mass-deportations and tell-the-Royal-Marines-to-murder-people-at-sea kind of party. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

Trump’s a Russian asset, Farage’s party is a racist enterprise, Putin wanted Brexit & if you tried to make a list of all the UK politicians & pundits who’ve backed all three, you’d be here for hours.

Kemi Badenoch spent most of PMQs pouring doubt on Andy Burnham's claims about Russian interference in our democracy, yet her spokesman can't tell me whether she has yet read the Russia report, which was published some six years ago during her own time in Government

FTR shattering letter about how the Conservative Government ignored the entirely credible threat from Putin in favour of feeding The City (& Tory Party) roubles👇 March 23 2022 Carl Scott, Air Commodore (Retired), UK defence attaché in Moscow for five years, 2011-2016 www.ft.com/content/857d...

The United States have to get control this man. The rest of the world does not deserve punishment because he was voted in by Americans. I’m fucking sick of it….

The Original Sin of politics was the invention of the passive voice, when Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of Vague Unaccountability. Wild how all those violent ICE agents just … got hired … and deployed … somehow. Who can possibly say how? It’s all a mystery.

Burnham needs to commission a [thorough] retrospective report on matter, like Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee recommended in 2020. The one that Johnson declared was “unnecessary”.

The correct response to this would be to make all the evidence used to draw the conclusion public, then challenge Farage to respond, otherwise people will just pick their opinions on the matter based purely on who they trust.

This is exactly why they are proposing public executions.

Trump demanded Zelensky resign because Zelensky refuses to surrender his country and people to the Russians.

Fuck Trump! Zelensky is so much more of a leader than frump will ever be.

America’s Trophy!

Trump’s obeisance to Putin has been established beyond even the vaguest scintilla of doubt; the possibility of another January 6-style assault on US democracy after/during the mid-terms is clearly acute and ‘we’ are still wary of calling fascism fascism. These are the moments…
