It would be nice if we had a Secretary of Defense who knew what he was doing and not one that just regurgitates quotes from action movies

Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!

It will be tough for America’s global reputation to recover after this absolutely shameful vote.

β€œPresumed to be innocent until proven guilty my ass!

You're presumed guilty until you unredact the Epstein files because you're hiding them.

Innocent people don't do that! Show us what's in those files, Thunder Chicken!

Show us what we already suspect.”

Part of my tribute to my dear colleague, our former Health Secretary, Jeane Freeman. A woman of principle, of courage, of values.

I will never forget those first Russian missiles and artillery four years ago. There have been many more dangerous situations since, much closer explosions, but never again have I felt such paralyzing fear, not only for myself but for everyone I love.

It would be ironic if the #EpsteinFiles ended up bringing down the British monarchy, but the criminal in the White House remained in power. What does it say about American democracy that the President can lie with impunity? #Trumpland #TrumpCrimePresident

Canadians say U.S. no longer an ally, is bigger threat than Russia: poll - National | Globalnews.ca The poll is the latest sign of tattered relations in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war and attacks on Canada's sovereignty, and aligns with recent Ipsos polling.

Amazing how much damage a demented fascist can cause.

Lady in white, "Andrew Windsor was followed around by protection officers at all times" #BBCQT

"The royal family would have known what he was up to many years ago"

"The royal family aren't blameless in what Andrew has been doing over the Epstein scandal"

Buckingham Palace has a long and ruthless tradition of distancing itself from scandal. Nothing matters to the Firm more than the perpetuation of the Firm itself.

Be wary of stories that seek to put Charles and Co in a good light because a lot of it is nothing more than crisis and PR management.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. β€” This should shake everyone to their core.

Impeach, arrest, and prosecute them all. Anything less is being complicit.

AG Bondi is on the hot seat in the House for her handling of Epstein files, the killing of citizens by the hands of ICE, & tries to prosecute the Convicted FElon's political enemies. Jim Jordan is looking like an ass.

It’s the same playbook every time: dodge the question, read the script, attack the messenger, and hope nobody notices they never actually answered. Its deflection dressed up as testimony.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

🟑The SNP has reduced income tax for those on basic and intermediate rates. 55% of Scots pay less tax than UK counterparts.

🐎It’s a 2-horse race between the SNP and Tories in Edinburgh Central.

πŸ—³οΈVote SNP and Angus Robertson for fairer taxation.

Good news!

Under the SNP, Scotland has delivered a record number of free eye tests.

Meanwhile in England, families pay up to Β£60 per person under Labour.

Since the SNP scrapped NHS prescription charges in 2013, the number of people getting free prescriptions in Scotland has risen to record levels.

The SNP continue to deliver for the people of Scotland!
