Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison.

It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake and board seat at TikTok.

Everything is for sale.

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

Unfortunately, there are no mechanisms in place to hold politicians and political parties accountable, functioning ones at least. The only mechanisms are what the media say they are. The reason why Angela Rayner got handed her cards, Yet Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Michael Gove etc have not... 1/2

Klobuchar: "When I questioned AG Bondi during her confirmation hearing, she assured me that politics would not play a role, that they would make independent decisions. That is not what this is. This is a vengeance prosecution. It is not about the law."

Everything that is wrong with the country. I'm sensing a theme here this morning. There is no accountability of political leaders in Great Britain. Then they wonder why society is the way it is. If they're not leading by example, how do they expect people to be any different?

Van Hollen: "It's good to see the president finally get off the golf course and decide to talk. He's been much more focused, as we all know, on keeping the Epstein files locked up than keeping the government open."

“Fascism is a political system built on control, fear, and loyalty to a strong leader. Fascism attacks democracy.”

A quick primer on fascism and anti-fascism:

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

UN delegates laughed at Trump last time. Not this time, given the trade wars, threats of invading other sovereign nations, revenge against political enemies, mass deportations, concentration camps, and casual killing of foreign nationals in international waters.

He's more dangerous than Putin.

The tragicomical indictment of James Comey In a sane country this thing would be laughed out of court.

"Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter what the indictment says, because Halligan was going to indict Comey no matter what. That’s literally why she’s in the job — to bring the sort of sham charges that the previous US attorney, Eric Siebert, would not."

It will certainly make it easier for the government and its agents to keep an eye on you
And cancel you when you upset them
Or maybe worse still when you don’t
Have a think about that

Trump claims that people were afraid to step beyond their front door in Washington, but he has fixed the problem and it's now entirely safe. However, he's introduced the death penalty because it's unsafe...

Only Trump can mangle logic like this.

Corbyn and Sultana have a half-formed party with huge potential. Don’t write them off yet | Andy Beckett Vast numbers want a party that counters the country’s rightward lurch. Despite the chaos, they are willing Your Party to get off the ground, says Guardian columnist Andy Beckett

‘The Greens, under their new leftwing leader, Zack Polanski, look better suited to that role. He attacks elites and defends the vulnerable with more aggression than his party has previously, and it is attracting activists and thinkers who used to be aligned with Corbynism..’

Exactly. Join now 💚

The Green's class stampede is hitting hard in one of Manchester's largest working class communities.
Labour's grip on Wythenshawe has weakened, and so has Mike Kane's (Lab MP for Wythenshawe) position in the Commons.
Mancunians are falling out with Starmer's Labour, and in with Polanski's Greens.

Even low information voters should get that it’s not normal for a President to make billions of dollars as soon as they’re in power.

UK faces ‘battle for the soul’ of the country, says Starmer amid Reform threat In a rallying cry to progressives around the world, the Prime Minister said allies must stop the ‘politics of predatory grievance’.

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways.

Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.”

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Homan: "If you ask them why they're protesting, they're gonna say things they've heard on the fake media. We're deporting US citizens -- no we don't. We separate families -- if a parent is being deported and they are here illegally and they chose to have a child, that's on them."

Just been handed a Reform flyer. Very depressing. Farage is full of crap. He pushed and pushed for Brexit then has disowned it as soon as it was evident it has gone badly. It was based on a reality that doesn’t exist. We can’t go back to postman Pat England. It never really existed. Now he blames…

Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social: “This nation has decided that we are not going to be afraid of a would-be dictator.”

Murphy: "The point is to get a few of Trump's political adversaries in jail, but the real point is a tried & true tactic of despots all over the world, which is to just harass & intimidate their political opposition so that protesters don't show up, candidates don't run. That's how democracies die."

"Throughtopia not Utopia"
💥 What Zack Polanski is managing to do here is to talk seriously about the frustration, uncertainty and angst that we're all feeling inside us these days. And what's remarkable is that he seems to be the only party leader doing that right now!

Poorer families will find it ‘near impossible’ to afford food and bills, report warns The findings will pile further pressure on the chancellor to scrap the two-child benefit cap long blamed for keeping children in poverty

“UK faces a decade of falling incomes”
But sure….lets just keep ignoring Brexit and the economic benefits of rejoining the SM and CU and ensure a decade of Reform and social conflict.

REPORTER: If somebody takes the streets of America and says they're antifa, what happens to them?

TRUMP: Well, I would say the maximum under the law. We'll see.
