And the Evening Standard write yet another attack piece because I dare to say we need to tax the rich.

Superb piece by @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social in this month's @bylinetimes.bsky.social mag: "Britain's Media Has Let Nigel Farage Reshape Political Journalism - Why?" This article alone was worth my annual sub to one of the very few news outlets still doing proper journalism

Trump keeps admitting in public that he's directly running all DOJ operations—which would include deciding to keep the Epstein Files hidden to protect himself—and media keeps pretending not to hear him. Here, he states unambiguously that he *personally decides* on all DOJ payouts to alleged victims:

I published a book on the role that the Trump Pentagon played in enabling January 6.
The very first sentence of any report on this breaking news should inform Americans that the odds of another January 6 succeeding—say, in January 2029—just increased by 1000%, and that was likely the point of this.

How do you ensure a nation fails to cope with drought? Privatise its water system.

In its refusal to nationalise water, it’s clear the government operates in the interests of private capital and not of the country, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I have thought about this moment of Louis Theroux's documentary every day since it aired. Not because I'm horrified and chilled by it but because I just still can't believe she thought if she shoved him he'd just...hit her back. Most people aren't like that, Daniella.
Keep thinking about how Daniella Weiss violently shoved Louis Theroux out of nowhere and when he didn't retaliate she was like "....oh". When she was shuffling away going "I really hoped you'd push me back..." they may as well have played the Curb theme over it.

This chart is absolutely essential.
It explains why Trump removed America from the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2018.
Because it was *working*.
Trump needed a cause for war, so he manufactured it. This has all been in the works for some time now. He was never "weighing options."

Here is the dirty secret no one is speaking out loud: Trump does not believe that bombing the hell out of Iran is going to send Iran back to the negotiation table, nor has anyone in his inner circle suggested to him that outcome.
He fully knows he has entered America into a war.
