Are we still the United States? Trump truly believes that he is the sole owner of our nation therefore there is nothing that isn’t for sale. FYI, this is not a joke.

Reform don’t “win seats” in HOP or Parliament by defections.. they impose Reform on constituents who didn’t vote for them whether they like it or not and refusing to resign and fight an election as Reform

So Farage can boast “we now have X Councillors and Y MPs” without them being elected🤷🏼‍♂️

Danny Kruger sends letter to explain defection to Reform

In a letter to constituents Danny Kruger says Tory "failures" were behind his reason to defect.

Firing the entire staff of the Morbidity and Mortality report is insane.

Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis @kendrawrites.com · 13h

For some context the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly report in addition to being just a good read, to quote wikipedia, "is the main vehicle for publishing public health information and recommendations that have been received by the CDC from state health departments. "

ICE agents shot and killed a dog in an El Paso home.

The owner was complying with their request to search. He simply asked permission to secure the dog first.

ICE entered anyways and murdered the dog.

They refused to give names or badge numbers.

Given Noem’s history this is ghastly.

Thanks

Govts of Australia, Bermuda, Canada, Cayman, China, France, Germany Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Qatar, Singapore, Spain, UAE, US would like to thank UK for letting their entities own UK infrastructure.

Vast profits exported, Britons stare at sewage in rivers.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership

Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof
