Brexit the Elephant is exhausted and realises no one in Westminster actually wants to see him any more.
“They’re too busy making up excuses about why FOM is about small boats and why people don’t like immigrants”
“Perhaps they should actually ask people”, he lamented.

If you're in the White House press corps, still showing up to your job every day and not saying anything as Trump attacks your colleagues -- almost always women, I'd add -- then this is on you as well.
Reporter: “Are you committed to releasing the full video?”
Trump: “Didn't I just tell you that?”
Reporter: “You said that it was up to Sec. Hegseth.”
Trump: “You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place…You are an obnoxious, actually a terrible reporter.”

Trump’s new National Security Strategy lays bare the US we must now engage with- a nationalist state, uninterested in promoting democracy, human rights or the RoL. Quite the breach with the country we’ve known/worked with for decades. But do the American people really support this? We must hope not.

Remember: ICE is getting $170B in new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill and lowering its hiring standards.

Congressional investigations are likely the ONLY accountability this administration will face. Bondi won't arrest anyone. US officials can't be tried at the Hague. And even if we get a new AG in 2029, Trump is going to pardon everyone. These midterms are crucial for accountability.
