The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

Pope Francis chose that name after Saint Francis of Assisi, the barefoot radical who gave up his wealth to live among lepers, animals, & the poor. A man who didn’t see nature as a resource, but as “a mirror of God.” In a world where profit trumps life, that name was a provocation.

Ahead of Trump’s “tariff day” April 2, let me reiterate a basic fact.

Value added tax systems do not distort trade.

European consumers pay VAT
US consumers pay sales taxes

End of story

A 🧵to make this painfully obvious if the above is not clear 1/

Kemi Badenoch’s comments on the grooming gangs show her to be incapable of doing the job she currently holds and unfit for the one she seeks:

Badenoch’s call for new grooming gangs probe reflects old fixations

Tory leader raises valid concerns but her diagnosis suggests she has not looked at all the evidence

Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan.bsky.social · Dec 3

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."

My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan

In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false
