Plan for multibillion-pound Sizewell nuclear plant a ‘terrible deal’ for UK taxpayers, MPs say

Progressive Twitch streamer Hasan Piker filed a defamation lawsuit against conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings on Tuesday, accusing him of falsely claiming Piker advocated lynching Black Americans after airing an edited video of his remarks. thehill.com/regulation/c...

Oh, man, he's so close to getting it.

Today's methane announcement from Trump shows why the Senate permitting bill is so terribly written. It would lock in every single environmental rollback Trump can cram into the next two years. 🧵: 1/

Brilliant thing to say if your main goal is to suppress Dem turnout

Ok, so she doesn’t want to run for president I guess.

A serious scoop here, and a serious blow to the permitting reform deal--Podesta, the ultimate Dem insider, says it would hand Trump a 'loaded howitzer.' heatmap.news/politics/joh...

I had to stop reading this story multiple times, complete sobbing breakdowns. I knew before even opening it would be written by @teddyrosenbluth.bsky.social, who refuses to look away from the people who have died because of these grotesque things. Oh she was so young. For what?

JFC. Did no one tell her what the Trump administration is trying to do to California, literally as they spoke?

Nothing can be done without accountability. Nothing. There were no consequences for the war on terror’s transgressions and look where that got us. There were no real consequences for an armed attempted overthrow of the government and look where that got us.

one of the big things that continues to kill her: unable/unwilling to pick a fight or take a swing at anyone, no matter how justified, popular, or necessary

"The votes aren't there" is cowardice masked as savviness. There has to be accountability for their crimes. The House has a duty to make the case here and if some GOP senators want to weasel out, make them own that vote. Don't let pundits and "strategists" talk you out of doing your damn job.

I am pushing back against Varmus’ claim that philanthropic dollars come with fewer strings attached, compared to federal dollars. The strings are established in what they will fund: work that DIRECTLY benefits them, can be rolled over into an IPO, and promoted their ideologies.

Trump: "Somebody asked me, 'When will the war in Iran end?' Whenever I want it to end."

With just seven days until Election Day, every minute matters. We are calling on Meta to immediately restore the page and provide an explanation for its removal. Voters deserve access to critical election information, especially in these final days. @andymstone.bsky.social /end

For the 2nd day in a row, Los Angeles and San Diego set a record for highest coastal water levels in over a century of records. The all-time top-10 records for L.A. and San Diego are now dominated by 2026 (yellow highlights). Many more records to come this year. @edwardsanthonyb.bsky.social

Does anyone know who the "William Barr" is who is mentioned in the FBI chart on page 22 of the House Dem staff Epstein report? democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Waltz: "One of the Cuban regime’s “diplomats” tried to intimidate UN staff into cutting our microphones as I exposed the regime for the world to see. When one of my American diplomats noticed what was happening, that same regime “diplomat” tried to intimidate him, too."

Trump is reportedly signaling he'll offer asylum. vs all those other asylum seekers who Trump verbally and physically abuses.

Grand jury just decided to indict retired NYPD Victor Romero with second-degree murder in the George Washington Bridge shooting of Koran Irvine. Murder is harder to prove because it requires intent, which is likely why Manhattan DA opted for the lesser manslaughter charge.

The Trump Administration is unlawfully rolling back reporting requirements meant to help law enforcement track down bad actors who hide financial assets in shell companies. We’re suing. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

COMING UP: Preliminary hearing before magistrate judge Faruqui in the criminal case of former FBI agents charged with false statements to Congress and obstruction. Things could get very interesting... I'm here in the media room for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along!

Every Texas bar has that one guy. He’s loud. He’s obnoxious. He makes all the women feel uncomfortable. He adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Ken Paxton — and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Greenblatt is only interested in making nice to MAGA. It’s not only immoral, it is colossally dangerous for Jews

“I get that AI is quick and easy. But people in the arts should know better than to use it. Arts organizations opting for images that exclude humanity are like trees that yearn to become ax handles. Art people, can you at the very least try not to actively participate in your own destruction?”

Something that stood out to me when I was in Greensboro, how many Black women were conscientious of their grandparents' role in fighting for their right to vote. "Ancestors have fought for this right, and so it’s my duty to do it," one of them said thepoliticalspectrum.substack.com/p/theyre-att...
