Every once in a while I suddenly remember that just two men, Louis XIV and Louis XV, ruled France for *130 straight years* Really underscores that if ever a nation lets a king take power there's really no guarantee that they and theirs won't reign through the lives of your great-great-grandchildren

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

Kemi Badenoch has got off lightly. Unlike TV viewers she was close enough to see Reeves was in real distress and to see the tears but chose to gleefully and gloatingly draw attention to it. In other contexts that would be called "workplace bullying". #PMQs #r4today

Everyone could have a good life, with excellent education, excellent healthcare, excellent pensions and a wonderful atmosphere. Or we can have crap everything, massive poverty, everyone is deeply unhappy, but we have million... billion... trillionaires. That is the choice.

Churchill cried multiple times in the chamber. Including after the "blood, toil, tears and sweat" speech appropriately.

Today has not been a good day in UK politics. Have never agreed with the economic & political choices of Rachel Reeves. But she is a human being entitled to show human emotions. People such as Kemi Badenoch, Robert Jenrick & Chris Philp have just shown again what low lives they are.

So if I have this straight: ICE agents wearing masks is fine, but protesters wearing masks should be arrested — even if it’s legal — because Trump issued an online edict? Seems ... flawed. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

msnbc.comPointing to protesters, but not ICE agents, Trump demands arrests of those in masksThe president wants protesters in masks to be taken into custody, but immigration enforcement agents in masks are apparently fine.

The BBC should not be run by people who have donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to a political party. But it is. It’s actually mad! Lisa Nandy, time to get impartial people who have a stake and love of the arts, to run the BBC.

Needless to say, that is not a crime - except in the mind of a fascist

Q: What crimes has Gavin Newsom committed? TRUMP: I think his primary crime is running for governor, because he's done such a bad job

I know it's pointless to spotlight the hypocrisy of this administration, as they are utterly without either consistency or shame, but I can't help myself.

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone. If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared” ~Anne Frank.

Remember how an ABC reporter was just fired for speculating about the psychology of Stephen Miller?

Good morning. This morning Richard Tice, MP for Dubai & Skegness is still a lying manmade climate change denier. He has his reasons 💰🛢️, but as a meteorological professional it’s my job & that of others to expose his self-serving lies. Are you listening media? 🤔

Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Zia Yusuf said getting a Reform government is not a worthy cause. Two days later he's backing them again. He knows the party hasn't changed. So something must have changed for HIM. What did Nigel Farage offer him? If this isn't proof that these people are corrupt... 👀👀👀

A reminder that January 6 insurrection was invited by the same criminal who is inciting and creating manufactured chaos throughout the United States today. He should’ve been sent to jail for several lifetime sentences, not sent to the White House.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
