Following months of reporting by The Intercept that found the Pentagon’s official tally of casualties is a gross undercount, which one U.S. government official previously called a “casualty cover-up", the Pentagon belatedly admitted that almost 100 U.S. troops have been injured in the last two weeks

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

We now go live to the White House to get reaction from Serial Sexual Assaulter, and world biggest bullshitter Donald Trump on the new that the Nobel Peace Prize has been won by Venezuelan Woman, Maria Corina Machado. #nobelpeaceprize #nobel #peace #trump #loser

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Never before have I seen a US President pick an entire group of people to be a murderer with no evidence, and then proceed to recommend a crackdown on said group. If you didn't think you had fascism in the USA, you are about to find out.

Can someone please find the condemnation from Matthew Bartlett, who is on bbc news at the moment, condemning the murder of Melissa Hortman & her husband,because I can’t find it.He surely must have have been very vocal in his condemnation given how livid he is at the moment about “political violence”

Just wondering if Trump Tweeted / Truthed within minutes of Melissa Hortman & her husband being murdered in July? If not it means he’s ok with political violence Which we all knew anyway #charliekirk #nopoliticalviolence #fuckpoliticalviolence

To anyone from Leeds who likes great food then you need to pay a visit to #thehighlandladdie just off Kirkstall Road near the casinos Just had a Roast & the beef was hands down some of the best I have ever had that got better with the meal as it soaked up the gravy. Sensational Food #leeds #roast

Given Trumps love of litigation against anyone who says the slightest thing he doesn’t like, I think it’s quite telling that since this tweet over a month ago, he has done nothing. #trump #epstein #epsteinfiles #epsteinclientlist

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

After watching the harrowing #Grenfell Doc on Netflix, & seeing #WesStreeting announce an investigation into Maternity services today, it’s clear to me that all roads lead to David Cameron’s Govt of 2010. Austerity & cuts, yet more debt & inequality. The most appalling govt in history

Whenever Trump goes on about how all the immigrants are dangerous criminals and we have to get them out of the country Just remember that he pardoned this guy

JUST IN: DOJ seeks *life* in prison for Edward Kelley, a former Jan. 6 defendant who was separately convicted of conspiring to murder the FBI agents and police who investigated him. Kelley had argued Trump's pardon should cover his other crimes too. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I knew it was horrendous but this is totally beyond that.

these visuals hardly do it justice, but just staggering to contemplate this scale of destruction. An estimated 60 percent of all buildings destroyed; 90 percent of housing gone. 90 percent of the population -- 1,900,000 people -- displaced www.bbc.com/news/world-m...

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Whoever is advising starmer is a great cause for concern As is the fact he is acting upon that advice The majority of the UK despise Farage & there are multiple routes of attack on him Woeful uncosted manifesto Russia Musk Brexit bullshit Part of Trump cult Insane approach that will piss ppl off

“Acting in the national interest for workers, businesses and families…” What the hell!!! Everyone is distancing themselves from this lunatic, yet we are licking his balls. The US has a trade surplus with the U.K. of £11bn FFS The economy is stagnant because of Brexit, & ignore this. #tradedeal

🚘 FREE DRIVING LESSONS FOR REFUGEES?! If you've seen those headlines and felt a twinge of outrage, you're not alone. But let's take a closer look at who's actually getting these lessons and why. 🧵 1/16

Suffice to say this wasn’t exactly the campaign message!

Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

Right up there with one of the best nights I’ve had at Elland Road Relentless football and an atmosphere that was off the chart incredible The Bristol city fans were superb as well. Leeds are going up!!! #leedsunited #leedsutd #lufc #leebri #promoted #promotion #waccoe #mot #alaw

I always find it staggering that he’s never been held accountable for the never ending stream of bullshit he sold us with brexit He promised everything based upon a simple premise and none of it has materialised That alone should result in embarrassment in front of the media, but they embrace him

“With Brexit, Farage helped embed the poor growth and state dysfunction that are even now providing fuel for his return.Britain has already spent one decade struggling to get by in the world Farage created. It can ill afford a second” Ffs. How much failure can we take? economist.com/leaders/2025...

Leeds are going up!!!!! GET IN!!!! One hell of an achievement and gutted I can’t be there in Leeds tonight due to prior holiday booking but am raising several glasses to everyone from here in Italy Awesome stuff!!! #lufc #leedsutd #leedsunited #promotion #leedsaregoingup #waccoe #mot

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?
