Yes, but your two big ideas so far have been police and crime commissioners and Brexit. Shall we check on them first?

“How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking in the mirror in the morning? These are not serious people” — Obama’s audience in Ohio is hanging on every word as he skewers Trump and Hegseth

OBAMA: I got criticized for tightening up enforcement at the border. But I don't recall anybody campaigning on sending masked agents running through our streets. Don't recall anybody talking about law abiding citizens being arrested, detained, or shot.

I’m sorry, but in the nicest possible way, absoutely not. I want the UK back in the EU and at its very heart, and arrangements for special interest groups make that less likely, and with no benefit whatsoever to the rest of the country. All or nothing.

Witkoff called Putin a "humanitarian." Here's some examples of his "humanitarianism." Putin is a cold blooded fascist killer. Trump & Musk facilitate it.

A 1yr old Ukrainian baby, her name was Angeline, murdered by Putin endorsed by Trump. The same Putin who is supported by Le Pen, AfD, Farage, Radev, Fico.

Unknown hackers claim to have stolen 421,179 emails from Germany's far-right AfD, exposing Nazi greetings, swastikas and threats against a photographer. The party confirms a breach, but the explosive allegations are still largely unverified. If proven this could be grounds to ban the AfD.

Trump is clearly freaking out as both parties have universally condemned his decision to remove Lindsey Graham’s sanctions against Russian oligarchs. He’s now trying to argue it’s about some secret plan he has to end the war in Ukraine. You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe him.

Of all the many evil betrayals I’ve seen in the last 60 years I’ve been alive, I’m struggling to think of any that match what Trump and Musk did to innocent Ukrainian citizens while Putin was sending missiles this way. A trio to live on in infamy well after I am gone

Even in *apartheid South Africa* white Zimbawean "Rhodesians" who fled black rule were known as "way back whens" for their absurd nostalgia for a mediocre state

If you praise the Confederacy, everyone knows what you're doing. If you praise Rhodesia, though, you still get that little frisson of naughtiness, the little tingle of rebelliousness that can power you through the drudgery of your eight-hour shift at your dad's car dealership.

Power means nothing if you won't use it when the people of Maine need it. Maine deserves better. Maine deserves change. We have the chance to build a government that serves the people, not the ultra-wealthy. Let’s go win this thing.
