A secretive political organisation is paying influencers US$1500 per post to attack a young, female Democratic candidate in an upcoming primary in Illinois.
I'd expect to see something similiar coming from Advance ahead of the Farrer byelection, and electoral laws struggle to respond.
Americans are dying so that Kushner can make money
Iran picked a new leader. People had thoughts…
That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.
You broke it Don, you fix it.
Senator Jon Ossoff, "Last night The White House put a video on social media"
"That depicted this war as a video game"
"This White House treats war like a game"
"And it's a disgrace"
"And it speaks to the moral rot of Trump's administration"
“Farage has said he wishes the party "hadn't bothered" to take minority control of Worcestershire County Council, because of its financial problems”
V much summing up his approach to power.
Grifting and gobshiting - yes please.
Hard work and responsibility - god no.

Could it be that Trump started this war mostly to help Putin, knowing that the Straight of Hormuz would eventually close, which would make Putin's oil much more valuable, allowing him to defeat Ukraine?
"We look terrible and the public completely disagrees with us. We should stick to this"
Sleep is hard.
"I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!"
How do investigators identify weapons used in war? @easybakeovensz.bsky.social explains the techniques used to analyse munitions and verify their use in combat, including weapons emerging in the conflict involving Iran.

Americans are dying and we’re killing Iranians and guess where Trump is? Yup, His pimp Palace Mar-r- lago, golfing and sticking it to America with the charges.
Political malice is an animal with high metabolism and no means to conserve what it consumes. It must feed constantly to survive.

He’s not wrong.
“Yeah, I guess.” What the f*ck kind of answer is that?
We’re talking about Putin helping Iran target our troops.
Displaced people sheltering on Beirut’s beachfront, their homes destroyed by Israeli indiscriminate bombing of Christian as well as Shia neighbourhoods, were bombed and killed by more Israeli forces. Further war crimes. Israel is a terrorist state.

NEW | The United States lifted sanctions on Russian oil that is already on tankers at sea until April 11, 2026, a decision that will buttress the Russian war economy. www.criticalthreats.org/analysis/rus...
Oh. Due process followed perfectly. The Tory politicians & client journalists lying desperately about all this were, of course, cheering & chuckling away when *two* of Boris Johnson’s ethics advisers resigned in disgust at his staggering contempt for ethics.

Trump himself doesn’t believe this bullshit.
Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
The news is full of 'Epic Fury' but what else is happening:
* The Greens, say communists, remain “vapid”.
* UKIP resurfaces in Stroud with 2 votes.
* Farage backs war, then opposes war... & then there's council tax cuts.. or not
Is that why he flew to Mar-a-Lago? Well it is warmer than Clacton..
Both #Badenoch & #Farage demonstrate that they can turn themselves inside out. Maybe that's why Farage is unable to find his constituency. #Starmer shows that morality does matter in a war. The essential #weekend read by @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social .
Since Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Norway has become Europe’s largest pipeline gas supplier, replacing much of the fuel that once flowed in from Russia.
“All the gas we produce in Norway goes to Europe, and around 90% to 95% of oil we produce goes to Europe”
The next six months could be the ultimate in teachable moments, with rapidly rising prices for oil, and rapidly rising temperatures. And what do you know, we have a midterm exam coming up on November 3.

For almost three years our teams and other international NGOs have demanded the world #TalkAboutSudan.
Now, Michelle Shephard and The Walrus bring the stories of the real people affected by the world’s deadliest war: https://thewalrus.ca/sudan-genocide/
Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.
But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.
The Netherlands submitted an intervention to the ICJ in the case of South Africa against Israel, supportive of the arguments that Israel's conduct amounts to genocide.
It's the third such intervention from an EU member, after Spain and Belgium.
