I’m listening on catch up. Midterms cancellation came up with a suggestion that POTUS could postpone them. He can’t. They are controlled by the states and even occurred during the US civil war in 1864.
I simply can't fathom people who still don't realise their mind has been absolutely cooked by remaining on X
What Nigel Farage and Reform UK ignore about net zero ⬇️
🚨 Reaching the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock.
💰 And it will bring health, economic and security benefits.
“You just suggested that Iran got its hands on a U.S. Tomahawk and BOMBED ITS OWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL on the first day of the war.
You are the only person in your government saying this.
WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY PERSON SAYING THIS?”
PEDOrump’s answer:
“Because I just don’t know enough about it.” 😲🙄🤬
An article describing how a Norwegian immigrant married a US citizen but ICE detailed her and refused her insulin, causing blindness and almost killed her. In between, an ad from the common sense leadership fund lauds the president's "understanding of the art of the deal" and boosts his alleged pro-business agenda
The contrast is ghoulish. A "pro-business" president nearly killing people because cruelty is the point.
Not going away!!!

Had to doublecheck the date on this
Holy crap, the latest released Epstein files are horrific. This man should be in prison, not the White House.
We need safe and legal routes for refugees.
George Monbiot explains what’s often missing in the debate about asylum seekers and refugees: "My worry is that we end up talking about what's good for us and forget about what's good for people."
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
This week, Trump said Zelensky “is an obstacle to peace” as the US asked for Ukraine’s help against Iranian drones.
While the President claimed Putin is “ready for a deal” as Russia helps Iran with intelligence on US targets.
The latter “doesn’t matter” says the White House.
A little bit obsessed with all the nut clusters currently ‘ashamed to be British’ because Starmer didn’t sign us up to this shit show.
Because, via Trump, Putin controls much of the US media
Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?
Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin.
Tate was trying to get to Dubai on a bus.
When they got to the Saudi border everyone was told to get off for passport and baggage checks and Tate decided to stay on - presumably because the bus was air conditioned and he didn't want to stand in a queue.
He then got detained by Saudi guards.
Almost nobody in the media reported on the former Tory Government's sweeping power grab of the electoral commission. This week Labour have announced that they will reverse what Boris Johnson did and return the commission to independence.
Ofcourse Labour will get absolutely no credit for doing this
Day 2225 of #Brexit: ‘The figures show this: a child born this morning in Britain can expect to be in good health only until they are 61. [] Our healthy life expectancy has been dropping for years; it is now the lowest since 2011, when records began.’ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
And still, so-called patriots queue up to condemn their own Prime Minister for refusing to join in with all this…
Shameful
We should be asking British politicians this question. Answers provide a powerful indicator of integrity. Not sure I’ve ever heard it put to Farage, for example.

If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.
A reminder that Donald "Bone Spurs" Trump denigrated American war dead as "Suckers & losers," which was confirmed on the record by John Kelly--Trump's former Chief of Staff, ret. 4-star Marine Corps General & Gold Star father.

Brexit wasn’t a one-off rupture.
It was a choice to swap a seat at the captain’s table for a life raft beside the ship.
Now EU border controls tighten and truckers, farmers, exporters and shoppers pay the price.
We punished ourselves and chose
third-country decline.

The point of his attempt at regime change in Iran is to avoid regime change in the USA by giving him a excuse to fix the mid terms. If he hadn’t he would be impeached after the elections.
