Foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said the proposals were “militarist declarations” from an “axis of war,” that were “dangerous” and “destructive”.

America, how long? How long are we going to tolerate an insane leader, a compromised Congress and a corrupt Supreme Court? How long?

In 1937, Charlton played Chelsea in heavy fog. By the 60th minute, visibility was gone and the match was abandoned.

Charlton’s goalkeeper, Sam Bartram, didn’t know. For fifteen minutes, he stood alone in his goal,waiting—while the referee, players, and crowd had already left.

The Ghost Keeper.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Violent crime resulting in injury has fallen across all 32 London boroughs over the past year.

There is still much more to do, but we're making progress.

London’s homicide rate is also lower than in other major European capitals, including Paris, Berlin and Madrid.
