Hegseth bombed an elementary school three times on the first day of an illegal war of choice, killing 150 children and their teachers. This will be his legacy. The entirety of it. History will remember him only as the mass murdererer of children
I could also see Labour MPs, disenchanted with Mandelson's sleaze and corruption, Starmer's mediocrity and Reeves' prioritisation of her rich friends, taking the short walk across the aisle to the Green party

Americans of all stripes are no longer gaslit by Trump's bull. His popularity is so deep underwater he's comparing skintones with Spongebob Squarepants. All he has left is rigging the midterms. If he can't get the SAVE TRUMP act through, he'll try something else
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
There's nothing scares me more than religious fundamentalism, and behind the SAVE act are powerful Christian Nationalists who sincerely believe that Women's Suffrage was anti-Christian, and that the US should be a white monoculture. SAVE would take a big step towards both aims.
It's the Rotting Caligula's worst nightmare: Trump is desperately scrabbling around for an off-ramp, but Iran is ratcheting up the retaliation. You reap what you sow, Tango Toddler

Chalamet is young enough to know everything. He's probably bright enough to grow up. I hope so.
It was a silly bugger thing to say, and he's been the first to acknowledge it, but really? Is that the only scrap of ground you have to fight @zackpolanski.bsky.social on? He must be pretty solid on all the policy stuff, then.

Jeez! Browsing through every press and media site I have any trust in, I really yearn for a story about a dog that can say 'sausages'. Even if it's not quite true
Isn't it a promissory note from Andrew Bailey that if push comes to shove, he'll give you a fleck of gold in exchange for it?
Don't be so bloody silly, Davey. I don't understand why you think you would benefit from populist jingoism in the first place; but you don't do it well and it doesn't become you. Leave it to Farridge and Bad Enoch, and stick to falling off bodyboards.
When Bondi appears before the Judiciary Committee to testify under oath, one key task is to establish how officers' names were recorded against the redactions and refiling of documents that they carried out. If some of those acts are subsequently deemed to be illegal, culpability must be assigned
Poor snowflakes...
No matter how cruel and grotesque Trump's diversionary tactics are, the Trump-Epstein files refuse to be buried:

Farridge and Bad Enoch *really* effed up when their gung-ho support for Trump's adventurist war on Iran was met with stony faces from the UK electorate. Both have been scrambling desperately to reposition themselves since. A rare win for Starmer.

This is just the amuse bouche. Every US or US-supporting company on the planet had better brace itself for incoming

Trump doesn't have friends: just enemies he hasn't made yet
Trump doesn't have friends - not a single one: just enemies he hasn't victimised yet
Reductions in the cost of living are always just over the next hill, in order to maintain compliance. Meanwhile, extreme right wing technocrats accrue so much wealth that they use entire nations as their playthings. Reeves is firmly on the side of the Bros, and equally firmly against the electorate
Following his initial strident support of Trump's war of choice in Iran, Farage observes British outrage at the fallout from US adventurism (not least on cost-of-living) and U-turns, calculating that hypocrisy is cheaper than supporting a US attack on the UK economy

Remarkable @politicsgirl.bsky.social discussion with Tim Whitaker, who knows the US Christian fundamentalist landscape inside and out. It's scary, but compelling and important: youtu.be/CcS7SE25BpU?...

Emirati businessman Khalaf Ahmad al-Habtoor lays into Trump & Graham eloquently and double-fisted. He may not be a proxy for the state, but he would certainly have made sure that he was not treading on any UAE toes. Trump learns the cost of unilateral warmaking

I absolutely cannot question the words of the Iranian spokeman here:
www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
The Do'W' investigation report won't repeat Trump's flat lie that Iran had a tomahawk and accidentally bombed the school, but it will go as far as it dares to deflect blame. I'm betting: a) school built too near legitimate target and/or b) Tomahawk hit by Iranian defensive fire & went off-course
I'm sure Trump can expect a pat on the head from his owner
Trump is edging very close to a flat lie. He's still using hedging clauses, but his logorrhea is so disinhibited that sooner or later he'll abandon them. I don't believe that the Do'W' will directly lie in their investigation report, so I foresee a messy collision

Timothée Chalamet hates it because he's a w*nker
I'm not sure - I don't think anybody's sure - how the Rotting Emperor defines victory. If it's the number of children murdered, he's *way* in front.
