I hear a lot of people say: Trump is escalating. I don't know if that's quite le mot juste. Trump is *spiralling*. There's quite a big difference.
The lack of any discussion around the 25th Amendment is astounding.

By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party
When an MP decides they want to defect to another party, a by-election should be automatically triggered to allow the constituents the opportunity have their democratic right to agree or not with their elected official.

This is infuriating. The FBI is covering up for the ICE murder. This is obstruction of justice.
Breaking:
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe.

Um, you're not allowed to go door-to-door hoping to randomly find someone violating the law. You need a warrant. That's is basic Constitutional shit.

JD Vance supports murdering American citizens. He's made that perfectly clear today. If he's willing to defend the murder of Renee Good, he would defend your murder, too.
JD Vance accuses the slain Renee Good of perpetrating "an attack on federal law enforcement, an attack on law and order, and attack on the American people"
"That woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation," he adds, repeatedly referring to her as "that woman"

For 16 months, a tax-exile-oligarch-owned, mostly right-wing press, has abused the privilege of these exclusive private sessions, to misrepresent the gov't on every issue. This is the FO stage.

Switching 2p from National Insurance to Income Tax would bring the rate of tax paid by pensioners closer to that paid by working-age people.
Even so, pensioners with incomes below £40,000 would still be better off next year than this year, due to upcoming increases to the state pension age ⤵️

To a large degree, the collapse of American power is driven by the stupidity of its leaders.
🚨 Speaker Mike Johnson says the problem with gun violence is the human heart, but global evidence shows easy access to guns and inequality — not the heart — drive violence. From Dunblane in the UK to Port Arthur in Australia, stronger laws saved lives.

The extent one might think it valuable to hear from an adversary, platforming Putin's proxies is still worthless because they are joyfully, unapologetically, almost gleefully dishonest.

I genuinely do NOT understand the idiocy of having Putin proxies on TV News, like Sergei Markov just now screaming Russian propaganda on Sky News for ten minutes.
We are at war with Russia. When before has UK media ever platformed enemy states who attack our allies and poison people in our streets?

This is precisely what happened. The same effort, over and over again, with Democrats and Republicans. But America was finally weak enough to simply ignore and its president idiotic enough to go along with it.
Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Powerful statement by Sen. Alex Padilla.
Please notice that anytime senators or representatives try to conduct oversight, they’re blocked.
In this case, a sitting US senator was tackled to the ground and handcuffed—for asking a question.
Where the hell has Chuck Schumer been on this?
