I almost missed that in a video where the former Chancellor of the Exchequer talks about "Institutional Credibility", the video misspells the word "credibility", which kind of sums this whole thing up

β€œThe AI did an oopsie” is not a get out of warcrimes free card.

The radicalised Elon Musk is now much more likely to retweet than to suspend the most racist voices who want to deport every migrants & all minorities.

Musk says the choice is "you either fight back or you die"

His active choices - not just his inaction re his legal duties - fit the definition

"Total remigration - every single one" is extremism in seeking to negate & destroy the fundamental rights of British citizens (UK-born minorities, naturalised migrants).

ost extreme arguments + voices are being supported & given - intentionally - a permissive environment by X + Musk, by Lowe

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again β€” Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them β€” But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.

EXC: Nigel Farage defends Reform-run Kent County Council increasing council tax by 3.99% despite election leaflets last year pledging to β€œreduce waste and cut your taxes”.

Mr Farage told ITV News Meridian: β€œCutting taxes can be not putting them up as much, I suppose.”

The grim choice facing the Trump administration: Economic or naval collapse? The Trump administration is currently trapped between the specter of a global economic recession and a naval catastrophe.

They're just words. They're all just words. They have basically no functional meaning because there is nothing that sits behind them and you should assume they don't mean anything until and unless actual facts on the ground prove otherwise.

New Quinnipiac poll shows Trump continuing to crater:

37-57 overall approval
39-58 on economy
38-57 on handling of Iran

The kicker: 55% say Iran did NOT pose an imminent threat to the US, while only 39% say it did

He's really settling in at that 38% number on many fronts, isn't he

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."
