No surprises here: the malicious communications charge was always a ridiculous stretch, and the others very unclear… No charges over Trump-Epstein projection onto Windsor Castle www.bbc.com/news/article...

Newsom is deploying the National Guard into California, not to help Trump, but to help the Americans.

Newsom: "The Republican Gov Shutdown is about to delay food benefits for MILLIONS of California families. I am deploying the National Guard on a humanitarian mission to support CA's food banks"

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

Our story so far:
Trump orders minions to destroy the Capitol on Jan 6.
He's banned from YouTube.
He returns to the White House.
He sues YouTube for banning him.
They settle for $22 million.
That money is used by Trump to destroy the East Wing

Trump White House East Wing ballroom project got $22M boost from YouTube legal settlement
President Trump has said he and donors will cover the costs of the White House East Wing ballroom, but it is not clear who all the contributors are.

Indeed it has. No-one seems to know when/if work will start on it again. My understanding is work stopped due to no engines available.

A tweet from Republicans Against Trump reads: “BREAKING: Donald Trump is considering commuting Diddy’s sentence as early as this week, TMZ reports.” Below are two side-by-side photos — on the left, Donald Trump sits beside Diddy and Melania Trump at an event, all dressed formally; on the right, a younger Trump shakes hands with Diddy while both wear suits.

"There is such a position as a flight hour. How much does a flight hour of Gripen and F-35 cost? There is a significant difference," he said.

Secondly, Gripen is also suitable because it can easily use Ukrainian airports.

‼️ Our pilots have already mastered the Gripen. He noted that these aircraft are suitable, firstly, because of the relatively cheap maintenance.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

NEW: Labour condemn Tory plan to strip people of indefinite leave to remain:

“It’s utterly grotesque that Tories want to deport people with the lawful right to be here to achieve ‘cultural coherence’.

“This policy would mean tearing families apart and ripping out our neighbours from communities."
Anna Turley MP, Labour Party Chair, said: “It’s utterly grotesque that Tories want to deport people with the lawful right to be here to achieve ‘cultural coherence’. “This policy would mean tearing families apart and ripping out our neighbours from communities. “That’s Tory Party policy and shows how far the party has fallen. The Tories haven’t learned a thing.”
