Remember when Farage said he'd cut your taxes before?

He just can't be trusted:

The Save Act is voter suppression.

It disenfranchises Women that take their husband’s name. Huddles meant to stop US Citizens from voting.

If you can choose who votes for you there will never be accountability. Voting is the most powerful thing US Citizens have, and they are ripping it away.

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

To simplify, in the UK, the major party factions’ singular aim is to destroy their party from the inside to ensure other parties win, thereby proving the other parties can’t govern, ensuring they win during the next election in five year’s time, but nobody has any desire to win on policy or govern

Difficult times call for cooperation and dialogue. But our voting system keeps giving total power to parties that only a fraction of voters support.

On 30% of the vote, one party could win full control of our economy, health, foreign policy and defence.

We can't take that risk.

This should be front page news. There should be hearings about it.

This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

I'm seriously trying to figure what it would take to convince Republicans to say ENOUGH of this fool and help get him impeached or 25ed.

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

Doesn’t matter who runs DHS. If Trump is ok with ICE agents terrorizing our communities, the abuse will continue.

Writing for Zeteo from inside of prison on International Women’s Day, Leqaa Kordia asks us not to forget the female detainees being held and mistreated in ICE detention camps.

Oh, DOGE has done its job. Musk was out of there as soon as he received his part of the deal with Trump. AKA you rig the election for me, and I will give you access to everything you want. Oh, how the .01% live.

Per Mediaite:

The Pentagon spent β€œ$2 million on Alaskan king crab, $6.9 million on lobster tail, $15.1 million on ribeye steak, and $1 million on salmon…272 orders of doughnuts for $139,224 and ice cream machines for $124,000.”

In September 2025 alone.

Where TF is DOGE?

I never imagined that the 2020’s would make me understand what happened in the 1960’s. The same type of money and power hungry people couldn’t accept someone who was for the people then, and they can’t accept them now. We really do have to wake up.

Rand Paul: "I think we've gotten overextended. This is our second war in a month, and these wars are very very expensive not only in the lives that are lost, but also in treasure. I'm very very concerned about the debt. Half a trillion dollars for the military budget is fiscally irresponsible."

Reform UK really are so lucky.

For a party of eight MPs they have the UK’s biggest news broadcaster on retainer.

Here we see their political editor doing the job of a local newspaper reporter.

For Farage.

EIGHT MPs.

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.

I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.

Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."

Media seem to avoid hard questioning because Trump tries to humiliate them. I wish there were veteran reporters who pin him to the wall and get something different than rhetoric.

We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.

Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.
