I've been to Dubai for work a few times. It's like the world's biggest airport lounge. Utterly soulless. Can't imagine wanting to live there whatever the financial benefits. (That's before you get to the ethical issues...)

People keep telling me the UK is so over and they're going to move to Dubai and, like, fine. Go on then. Would you like directions to the airport?

You definitely shouldn't move to Dubai, writes V&A director Tristram Hunt on.ft.com/46MfW1t

People with cognitive decline become fixated on things and will not let them go. Like winning the Nobel Peace Prize. This is well-known. @jaketapper.bsky.social appears to be ignorant of this basic fact.

We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Poor old Trump. No Nobel Prize. Some days he solved 6 wars, other days it was 9 wars, today its 7 wars. And like magic he can end wars between countries that aren’t at war, or that don’t exist, or that are still at war. All without leaving the golf course or the gold plated WH rooms.

Ten percent of Gazans have been killed or wounded — mostly women, children, & the elderly.

The U.S. has sent $22 billion taxpayer dollars to facilitate Netanyahu's slaughter.

This ceasefire must hold, the hostages must be freed, aid must flow and this horrific war must end.

- Millions of federal employees aren’t getting paid
- 15 million people about to lose their health care
- 24 million Americans could see their insurance premiums DOUBLE

Now Speaker Johnson gives House Republicans another week off work. 4 straight weeks out of DC. Unbelievable.

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.

The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees.

Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

While Trump is busy licking his wounds in public, this week his loyalist have fought tooth and nail to prevent the US congress from releasing the Epstein files and have declared anti-fascism terrorism punishable by arbitrary arrest or assassination.

Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

So I guess for MAGA when a Chinese balloon goes over US airspace it’s a week straight of apoplectic comments that WW3 is starting because Biden is weak, but when Trump allows the Qataris to have an airbase in the US and fly fighter jets over our country that is America First.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.
