No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels. In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.

🔥 @charlesmblow.bsky.social : “The media is getting this wrong… The Muslim Brotherhood is ~100 years old, Trump just classified them as terrorists this year. 0 terrorist attacks on 🇺🇸 soil — Trump’s dad was arrested at a Klan rally, is he responsible for his dad’s actions?”

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.

🚨DIESEL IS UP AGAIN. The national average is now $6.32 a gallon — roughly $2.70 higher than a year ago. That means higher costs for trucking, shipping, farming, and ultimately the prices Americans pay at the store. More pain for working families. We can’t afford this. Vote out ALL Republicans.

Just 15 days. #VoteEarly 🗳️

When I take calls like this I always think of the thing I learned recently about how the same part of your brain that understands something agrees with it therefore your brain will not allow you to understand evidence which conflicts with beliefs which are key to your identity…..

The chaos at Moscow's airports has continued for a second day, with airspace repeatedly closed due to the threat of drone attacks. All four Moscow airports suspended operations, leaving hundreds of flights delayed or canceled.

-Trump just waived sanctions on Russia -Putin is pleased -Russia was never a hoax Q: “Is Trump now openly on Putin’s side?” A: He always was.

The slithering back to even vaguely positive or optimistic analyses of Trump’s second term after the abominations of January 6th cleared the way for today’s abject betrayal of the Ukrainian people. It’s astonishing how many public figures on both sides of the Atlantic are complicit in the crime.

Russia was never a hoax

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

Can’t say why but you’ll be wanting to pop your radios on and tune into lbc from 8pm (if you’re not already tuned in from 6pm as a regular and loyal listen to my show which obviously you would be but just reminding you in case 🤓).

It's great to see a Democratic politician speak of the deep disorders of the people running this country.

NEW: Prime Minister Andy Burnham finally breaks a decade of UK govt silence…& reveals there was ‘clear’ Russian interference in the Brexit vote. 1/

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

🔥🔥 This phenomenal article shows how European Movement UK are now laying out a 10-year path back into full EU membership. All the stages, timings, complexities, ratifications and considerations in place. Could even be sooner if we get a lucky break. Read 👇

The grim irony is that if Trump hadn't started his damn fool war with Iran, we could have shifted much of those interceptor stocks over to Ukraine to protect Ukrainian civilians and then we would actually have the leverage to ask Zelensky and Ukraine not to kinetically sanction Russian oil.

Andy Burnham confirms what previous PM's - May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer - failed to, that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

“our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians.” If the U.S. military forces suffered those kind of damages under a Democratic admin, Congress would impeach the Defense Secretary and lot more.

Over the last few months these guys made me proud to be British: kind, practical, profoundly moral, a testament to this island. Now they're targeted by the very worst of us. I just gave them a bunch of money. You should too. Show those fascist clowns what's what. rnli.org/support-us/g...

The scary thing isn't that these people just make up nonsense incessantly, and assume they can get away with it because most conservatives who listen to them are low-information viewers who will believe anything that's convenient—it's that they are RIGHT in that assumption.

"I've never seen a party with such a gap between those who own the party, the two crypto kings, and the red-wall voters in constituencies around the Midlands and the Northwest who vote for them." www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/is-r...

Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision striking down Trump's policy of mass arrest and incarceration without trial ends with a big brushback reminder of what the US government did to Japanese Americans in 1942: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

NARRATOR: "The funny story about the so-called 'Russia! Russia! Russia! Hoax' was that it turned out the connections between Russia[!] and the Trump Family were far deeper and numerous than was originally thought."

I’m really confused by the ‘we don’t know who asylum seekers ARE!’ argument. As though every other person you pass/encounter on a daily basis you know exactly who they are and the details of their history.

What a line! 😂

The RNLI volunteer has told us that donations usually run at £20,000 per day. Currently running at £100,000 per day! Bloody brilliant!

ARI FLEISCHER: "Never forget." HIS SECRETARY: "The check from Saudi Arabia has arrived." ARI FLEISCHER: [forgets]

🚨VICTORY: Supreme Court BLOCKS Missouri GOP gerrymander for the 2026 midterms. A huge victory for voters and our clients. I could not be prouder of the Elias Law Group team! www.democracydocket.com/cases/missou...

AMERICAN FARMERS: "The future of farming is very very grim... we have money for bombs & ballrooms but not food and adequate medical care." Farmers on Trump's "betrayal" as his trade war, Iran war, and general policies crush them in every possible way. (h/t @factpostnews.bsky.social )

Today, the WH announced the next 6 weeks of epstein distraction.

Republicans tried to rig the maps to save their House majority. It won’t be enough. Democrats are running 10 points ahead of their 2024 presidential performance in special elections. If that holds, Dems could end up with a 230–205 House majority. The stakes are huge. Make your voice heard. VOTE.

Bang on the gifted money as ever

Ontario Premier Doug Ford fires back at Trump: You think an insult from Trump hurts me? Bring it on, buddy. I’m ready. I’ve dealt with guys like you my whole life. You’re a loser.

The 3 Essential Steps to Any Trump Regime Undertaking: 1) Execute task incompetently. 2) Lie about the results. 3) Cover up the consequences.

Donald Trump is not just the stupidness person to become president, he’s the stupidest person to become famous.

@ottoenglish.bsky.social Did you see you get a mention in this? www.theguardian.com/books/2026/a...

The Daily Mail editorial team get together in a coven in the wilds of Dartmoor to discuss their coverage of Harry and Meghan:

📣GOOD NEWS: The SAVE Act failed in the Senate…again. Even a stripped-down version couldn’t get 60 votes. Now, senators are in recess until mid-September, making it too late to pass before the midterms. Marc Elias explains👇 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEUc2JeYBr4

Epstein’s best friend says what?

“We need to face facts that the US military is in terrible shape and it will continue to get worse under the present leadership. This is in some ways the greatest scandal in US history. The US has spent about $9 TRILLION on defense since 2016, and has created this deeply flawed, deteriorating force”

I didn’t discuss Jason Arday on my show for this exact reason. If he had been white and behaved unprofessionally it would have been handled internally by his employers. As it is, it became clear that certain commentators wouldn’t be satisfied until he was dead www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jason Arday has been found dead. The obsessive media focus on this one man - as if it was one of the biggest scandals in history - was disproportionate beyond belief. Push notifications, top headlines, constant investigations. And now he is dead.

The term “witch hunt” is overused in politics. Perhaps not now. Quite a bit of the British media should ask themselves serious questions as to whether the coverage they gave to this man was remotely proportionate. Likewise there are Qs for Cambridge- and whether they discharged their duty of care.
