Tweet from Acyn showing a quote exchange: Padilla: “Do you believe government officials are obligated to follow court orders whether they agree with them or not?” Bondi: “I wish you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump.” Padilla: “I asked a simple yes or no question.” Below is a C-SPAN screenshot showing Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California) speaking during a Justice Department oversight hearing. A lower third graphic shows a countdown to a government shutdown.

Bondi also wouldn’t answer whether she’d seen photos of Trump in the Epstein files around half naked girls, as a witness alleged they’d seen. She must resign.

Nothing says "I want independent judges" like threatening to sack any judge who disagrees with you, while holding up a judge's wig like a puppet

The not so subtle message from him and others has become that it’s OK to hate people who are different because ”we” are the special ones and it’s “our” country. Views that used to be regarded as extreme are becoming normalised. The government shares in the blame for this.

Surely neither Jenrick nor anybody else can get away with the old “I’m not a racist but…” nonsense. Has he ever stopped to think why it is that people with darker skin than his sometimes prefer to live in proximity to each other rather than in proximity to the likes of him?

What a surprise! After 14 years of Tory government there’s nothing left for local authorities to cut.

Why is none of this Trump lunacy reported by UK mainstream media?

The exercise of administrative power can be malicious. The tone comes from the top. It seems to be happening every day in the USA. Removal of the option of legal challenge makes it all the more likely. The right relies on the rest of us thinking “It couldn’t happen here.” It could, very easily.

As a lawyer I should have realised that the law is an ass.

The Met condemned the Palestine Action demonstrations for taking officers away from protecting the Jewish community. I’d understood the Met set their own priorities. Do they not think that protecting people from terrorists is more important than arresting people for sitting about holding placards?

Is there a little known Amendment to the US Constitution that prevents members of the press from asking the President tough and follow up questions?
A "What the f*ck are you on about?" a "Why do you lie all the time?" or a "Are you bonkers?" would be very welcome.

If this is true, Netanyahu and his far right handlers have totally lost the plot.

“Please Miss, they were all talking behind their hands as well so it’s not fair to pick on me.”

Not to mention his refusal to publish his tax returns.

Sadly, the people who scoff at science have no interest whatsoever in facts.

It’s a mystery to me how people as naive (insert your own preferred adjective if you think naive is a tad fence-sitting) as Mone and Barrowman made so much money before they decided to benefit from the fast lane nonsense.

We just have to get used to Reform lying, lying and lying again. It’s the old tactic: tell enough lies enough times and many will become seen as being true by enough gullible voters.

Astonishing ignorance and arrogance from the Tory leader, demonstrating her total fitness for the job. For anybody who doesn’t know, NI voted 56 - 44 to remain.

Kemi Badenoch mistakenly says NI voted in favour of Brexit In a BBC NI interview, the Tory leader said the

Kemi Badenoch saying “the last time I checked, Northern Ireland did vote to leave” is so on-brand it hurts. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When these two are such cosy chums it’s a sure sign that autumn is making its presence felt.

"I hope Starmer wakes up tomorrow morning and feels ashamed about what he has done," says man who unveiled this poster the day Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right terrorist.

You’d think he’d be too busy being President to have time to make money. Oh, I see…..

According to Farage, calling racists racists imperils their safety. Free speech? As if he cares.

I hope we’re both wrong.

What next? A Stalinist purge of the senior military?

From this side of the Atlantic the likelihood of a free and fair Presidential election in 2028 is somewhere between nil and zero.

The terrifying thing about this is that in the USA “enemies of our country” will soon come to mean “people Trump doesn’t like.”

If scrapping indefinite leave to remain (ILR) entirely, as Reform would do, is racist, according to Labour, what is making ILR twice as difficult, expensive & humiliating to obtain, as Labour are doing?

The Trump regime is like McCarthyism on steroids - and at the same time Trump and his stooges claim to be the world’s greatest ever supporters of free speech. Will the USA understand before it’s too late? Will there be anything that vaguely looks like a free and fair Presidential election in 2028?

Ex-Reform Wales leader Gill has just pleaded guilty for doing exactly this. ⬇️
Will anyone in the UK media ask Farage a few questions on his next week of media rounds?

Thought not.

Boat based Belly tickles incoming.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..
