Writing in The Telegraph a couple of days ago, Trump's ambassador to the UK Warren Stephens lobbied the Labour government to drill for North Sea oil and restart fracking.

As of a few months ago, Warren Stephens had at least $250 million invested in fossil fuel companies.

it would be podcaster occupied government (left). we currently have podcaster occupied government (right).
It really sucks to realize that Bernie Sanders would have made a terrible president, because despite having a lot of integrity himself, he is an abysmal judge of character. Just fuckup after fuckup with the candidates who only get traction from his endorsement. His appointees would have been awful.

Drama unfolded when Zigi realised Lenny had stolen the limelight! In retaliation, Zigi started fighting Lenny – but found his target was very prepared. Lenny defended himself as best as he could, then ran off and hid amongst the nannies so no one could push him again.

When the far right invents or exaggerates bad behaviour by their foes - see ‘cancel culture’; threats to free speech; anti-fascist violence; financial corruption; cronyism etc - they do so to preemptively excuse their own far worse & blatant abuses in exactly the same spaces.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

ICE has killed at least 19 people since it began its kidnapping spree under orders of Donald Trump; most victims died while in internment due to “illness” caused by the deliberate poor conditions they are held in.

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit
Would be interesting to identify the contractor..
Can you imagine what kind of frothing pretzels the press would have tied themselves in if Obama had done this
Absolute insanity from Reuters. True disgrace
Reuters is in the bag for the Trump administration. This sly insertion of propaganda has become repetitive. In this case, Colombia does not currently pay "10% tariffs on most imports to the United States." The U.S.-based American companies doing the importing pay the tariffs. That's how it works.
Shit I hadn’t thought of it like that! Timely

MODERATOR: Is the Roberts Court the most pro-corporate Supreme Court ever?

GENERAL COUNSELS AT TRILLION-DOLLAR CORPORATIONS, IN UNISON: No. Also, while we're here, we would like to state for the record how smart and handsome we think John Roberts is

Let me emphasise: I don't (as a racialised person in academia myself) accept the caricature of DEI as a scheme for promoting those who lack merit. I am highlighting the hypocrisy of the reactionary right who peddle that caricature. The real scheme for meritless promotion is of course white supremacy

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.
