The astounding feeling of this interview is of a minority government or one with an extremely thin majority heading into an election, rather than one with a massive parliamentary majority and with three and a half years years left.

Sir Keir Starmer agrees that Britain is at a pivotal moment—a 1945 or a 1979. But while the prime minister can articulate the size of the moment, he still does not quite know how to meet it
Why, it’s almost like nobody likes these people or ever wanted anything that they were selling, and the only reason they’re in these jobs at all is because they were crowbarred into them by Britain’s horrendous media outlets.

A war criminal without a war
It's just murder.
"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

Today, on the 31st anniversary of the Budapest Memorandum with its useless security assurances, we are facing a repeat of history as EU leaders warn of the risk of a peace deal without strong US security guarantees.
Strength is the only true guarantor of peace for the EU.

I was just thinking about how it would be nice to see some snow outside... But then I remembered a bunch of (mostly) homeless people would die if it snowed right now.
We gotta fix this country, y'all.
This is bleak AF.

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time.
The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

European Citizens’ Initiative on abortion rights reaches milestone after hearing
"Denying abortion does not stop abortions—it only makes them unsafe."
Justyna Faszcza highlighted the consequences of one of Europe’s most restrictive systems: “We have lost Izabela, Dorota, Justyna and others. Criminalisation forces women to travel abroad, and only those who can afford it are safe. ‘My Voice My Choice’ offers dignity, equality, and real support.”

Malone is now talking about the role of undocumented migrants in spreading measles.
There is no evidence of this. I am disgusted. The measles outbreak is American-grown due to declining vaccination coverage in response to disinformation.

Australia’s education system is breaking our teachers
The public education system has been unravelling for more than a decade — a class action may be the only remedy.

Teacher enthusiasm is drained by barbarous working conditions and parental support is very hard to provide when you need to work two jobs just to afford food.
In completely unrelated news the great majority of our fearless leaders went to private schools.

CBS staffers rip ‘shallow’ Bari Weiss for moderating ‘absurd’ Erika Kirk town hall
‘How embarrassing,’ one network staffer told The Independent. ‘Bari’s been Editor-in-Chief for five seconds and has revealed that all she really wants is to be on TV herself.’
”… focus on our country’s political divide – and how we can find our way out”
Bari Weiss is hosting a town hall with Erika Kirk and addressing the political divide the same month a turning point twat got a TA suspended for correctly failing a stupid essay

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.
Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.
