All those MAGA types who are armed to the teeth to protect themselves from a rogue US government - your day has come. Rise up.

Burnham is radical on devolution, public ownership and electoral reform. He has appointed serious people with proven track records. He is charismatic, has real emotional presence, and a proven appeal to voters. Why wouldn’t a progressive be excited? open.substack.com/pub/arguably...

This feels like it got buried amid all of the mounting allegations around Reform and Farage's funding. Farage leases property that he owns, to his own company, at exactly £10,000/year. That's a penny under the "over £10,000" rental-income declaration threshold. What is he trying to hide?

Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

This is election interference.

@fetterman.senate.gov Why don't you just leave the Senate instead of the party? You are NOT wanted in the Democratic party or ANYWHERE! You are a disappointment to your constituents & your country! Don't bother running for reelection, You have 0 support You are a danger to democracy & your family!

President Zelenskyy has gifted Keir Starmer the Ukrainian 'Order of Freedom' - the highest award for a foreign person - during his final visit as PM Starmer says he will "treasure it forever"👏

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

E. Jean Carroll spent nearly a decade in court fighting one of the most powerful men in the world. She fought with tenacity and grace — and she won. She is one of my personal heroes. We all owe her a debt of gratitude.

His name was Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero. He was a young father who deserved life and dignity. He was our neighbor. His daughter deserved to grow up with a father. I ask you to please contribute to help Johan’s family as they navigate this unspeakable tragedy. Donate here: gofund.me/2d196d306

One of the quiet bright moments of lockdown was Sam Neill serenading us on the ukulele. This type of tenderness feels rare nowadays, how lucky we were. Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

Trump’s former personal lawyer has no business leading the Justice Department. We need your Senators to reject this dangerous nomination. #TrumpsWarOfChoice actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

🔴 NEW: Who Is Really Bankrolling Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain? Byline Times investigates the figures behind the Elon Musk-backed far-right rival to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK By me and @josiahmortimer.bsky.social, for @bylinetimes.bsky.social: bylinetimes.com/2026/07/10/w...

Seemingly Cottrell's mum has donated £1.5m to Refuk / Refuk-linked entities. Which seems a lot for a 'retired stylist' whose deceased husband left her a £1.5m estate. Reminds me of how Farage's gf could fund that Clacton house... There is no suggestion of any wrong-doing though. Or right-doing.

🧡 grateful for this fox rescue blessings kind sir 🧡🔆🎈🌼🧡

Jarell Quansah has his red card ban extended to two matches. FIFA will consider an appeal, if the England defender can prove he’s either American or Argentinian or a brown envelope stuffed with cash

What’s that, Dale? You want to give me an unconditional personal gift of £5million to do whatever I want with? Sure! I just need to fill out a form. If I didn’t declare it that would be silly.

It's worth noting, explicitly, that the people our thuggish government is going after and even, in some cases, killing, are better Americans than they are. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and Ben Parker:

On my way, Clacton.

"Surreptitious extremism is still extremism, and ICE remains an undertrained, overly aggressive organization. Which is why...we see all too clearly what happens when armed agents swarm blue-collar working parents fearing for their lives." lnk.thebulwark.com/4vUAuiA

"Instead, confirmation of his death came in the cruel form of videos on social media. 'I recognized him immediately: not from his appearance, but from his voice crying in the street as he was bleeding out,' Ronaldo said through tears." www.thebulwark.com/p/he-lived-h...

Q: "The Iran war seems to be a strategic dead-end for you. Why are you, apparently, unable to end the Iran war?" Trump: "I think we're doing just the opposite. The Iran war has been a tremendous military success…I think it's a tremendous success, Iran."

The Chancellor has the power to stop Farage's cynical ploy. I've written to her this morning urging her to act. Farage should not be allowed to resign until the investigation into his dodgy dealings has concluded. The people of Clacton deserve the facts first.

So, a joke MP with 5 houses bought for cash, links to criminality and a £5Mill ‘gift’ in his bank… is so enraged at being held to account… that he resigns from the MP role he never did anyway…and demands a “people v the establishment” by-election to vote him back in. What an insufferable wanker.

Any Clacton residents who want to nominate your friendly neighbourhood intergalactic space warrior, ping me a line!

FARAGE RESIGNS: What we heard from his announcement:

Hey Texans: Is this really what your Christian values look like?

Farage calling a by-election on himself might be the most narcissistic thing he's ever done. Using it to cover up his corruption just makes him a weasel. The people of Clacton-On-Sea deserve better.

Trump’s illegal plan is dismantling the agency that protects our public lands while handing favors to allies. Pressure Congress to block this before more damage is done. #SaveActIsPayToVote

Nigel Farage has spent his whole life dodging responsibility for his actions. This new stunt is his latest attempt to escape consequences for his biggest grift. We won’t let him.

Let’s hope Clacton have a bit more sense this time GET RID OF THIS NASTY PIECE OF WORK and vote in a decent MP that actually knows where Clacton is

Nigel Farage is a grifter. He always has been and he's continuing to grift. He knew he was heading towards a byelection anyway so has pulled the trigger early. The people Vs the establishment?! Reform are literally part of the establishment.

Patriotism isn't about building walls, punishing immigrants, cutting taxes for the rich, attacking the press, or dividing us by race & faith. True patriots don't pander to divisiveness or hate. They work to confirm the "WE" in "We the People of the United States."

This kind of whining - from France - is so very Brexit. Until we take responsibility for the inevitable consequences of our own stupid choices, we will stay stuck in a sulky dead-end calling other people names. Boris Johnson rejected these data sharing arrangements. You get what you pay for. (Times)
