ICE is now separating children from their parents in the nation’s interior and deeming them “unaccompanied.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Like FDR’s famous “let them have Hawaii” speech

The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal will hold case management hearings today in two cases arising from the Post Office scandal. One involves a former general counsel at the Post Office. The other involves a solicitor who represented former postmasters. rozenberg.substack.com/p/first-post...

This underscores why it’s so hard to cover Trump. Every sentence contains multiple lies, true, but *also* each lie is made for a different reason. Some are premeditated, some a product of dementia, some a product of being raised in a cult, some only semiconscious, some born of fear. He’s a mess.

These new trains are about to enter service from Zagreb to Split. Are those first class seats as comfortable as they look? Well worth the €30 1st class fare!

Just stolen a load of inflatable air beds. Think I might lilo for a bit.

When I was a kid my uncle had a pet shop, which, when you think about it, is a pretty odd thing to have as a pet.

More evidence that the land beneath solar panels can be used productively

"Mrs Jenner is the wife of disgraced general election candidate Emmett Jenner. In 2024, he featured in a BBC probe into Reform UK candidates who had made offensive comments about women online." They're such a lovely caring lot, eh? Protect are wimmin indeed 🙄 nation.cymru/news/reform-...

"Accuse them of that which you are guilty" doesn't even come close Maybe he has no idea? it's all his fault and no one not one of them around him has the balls to say anything. At least the Emperor with no clothes on knew he was naked. I blame the parents. Of all of them.

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

Quite remarkable for a party leader to say this of a man arrested on suspicion of assault & coercive control. Or should be... Farage: “I am sorry for his personal difficulties that he is going through. No one’s life is ever seamless and I am quite sure he will come out of these before too long."

The number of Americans using buy now, pay later loans for necessities like groceries and rent is on the rise. What does this say about the health of our economy? Should we be worried? Here's what you should know.

Brace yourselves. I have found the most annoying thing on the Internet. Behold: fridge styling. Frankly I think we might as well let our AI overlords finish us off.

For the second straight day, the White House's taxpayer-funded incitement account is attacking me and oddly mentioning I'm in my 40s (which I know makes me way too old for the president) When they do this it results in a flood of harassing and threatening messages, which of course is the point

It's been almost a decade since I started writing about Far Right extremists and the social media grift economy - and it's so, so much worse now. www.independent.co.uk/voices/tommy...

Was anyone watching #Dispatches on Channel 4?

There's an argument for calling them masked thugs, because that is factually true. There's an argument for calling them pathetic cosplaying loser incels, also true, and laughing at them damages their tough-guy self image and hurts recruitment. There is no argument for calling them protesters.

this is the kind of design costume designers make to tell you who are the bad guys in a space movie

It’s always very handy when a defendant writes his own objections to bail so thoroughly ….

Today is my last day at HuffPost. Like many others, I was hit by mass layoffs at BuzzFeed. I've done my best to hold power to account and tell complex stories with care, and I'm going to keep doing that. So please keep sending me tips! Contact: mattshuham@protonmail.com, 646-397-4678 (cell/Signal)

This morning the website of Parliament’s standards commissioner has been updated to confirm that his investigation is no longer suspended

Begging bowl time again I'm afraid. I get UC of £424 on Tues to last for the next month. I need to buy food for Lucy (which will cost at least £50) and to get a few other essentials like shampoo and shower gel. If you can help me out, I would be ever so grateful. I can DM Paypal details. Thx 🙏

Another opportunity to note that Donald Trump is personal business partners with the leaders of a country he is giving otherwise utterly inexplicable special dispensation to, a situation which in any other era of American history would be deemed a federal felony and impeachable but is for now a yawn

So now that he understands how women feel, he’s going to help the Epstein survivors, right?

How many leaders like you does it take to change a lightbulb? Trump: The lightbulb only needed changing because of Biden & I changed it even though the lightbulb didn’t need changing because I’m such a great golfer. Did you know lightbulb has a b at the end? A lot of people don’t know that.

How. Is. That. Possible? Now convicted of repeatedly defrauding the NHS & sentenced to 4yrs prison. Hussain's extraordinary campaign of fraud dates back to July 2014, when he was a Labour candidate, ramping up after his election defeat, continuing until September 2022. apple.news/A1RZqyEAaS0-...

Re: pervert glasses. Should it occur to anyone that they might use them to film court or tribunal proceedings, don’t do that. It’s a criminal offence.

O well Toni if you're going to surrender to all the cunts that destroyed Twitter then this one will go down like the Titanic too. You don't have to cater to terrible cunts. Even though I suspect a lot of your colleagues fit that description. You could show a bit of backbone. But no cuntery it is.

Just finished a series of paintings of mass murderers. A friend wants to put them on display but I think hanging's too good for them.

Hey @lewisgoodall.com here is our Lancet article on Long COVID. Happy to chat. www.thelancet.com/action/showP...

Anyway, keep an eye on this issue, it could potentially make it to the Supreme Court in the next few years.
