Trump’s gold bling in the WH reminded me of a clip I posted 5 years ago of Charlie Sheen in the UK telling a story of the time Trump gave him a wedding gift.

That sounds a lot like Medicare for All, unless of course Tim here thinks Joe from Tennessee is going to be able to negotiate with the doctor and hospital for his open heart surgery. On Sale! Holiday Special, only $84,000.

These guys will do anything to avoid being intelligent.

A Dutch war cemetery added displays showing black US soldiers. Then they were quietly removed Relatives fear the move is part of ‘the same virus affecting the US’, as historians and politicians say it coincided with Trump’s DEI purge

Hegseth and his white supremacist friends want to erase black soldiers. He is purging the US military of women and black people, but that is not enough, he wants to airbrush them out of history.

It's not the first time Trump has talked like this. I think he 'others' everyone (possibly even his own family). For true narcissists, (but perhaps especially for malignant narcissists?) everyone else is 'other'. Donald Trump is a pure sociopath.

TRUMP: You have to bring in talent

INGRAHAM: Well, we have plenty of talented people in America


TRUMP: No you don't. No.


INGRAHAM: We don't have talented people here?

The creation of the State of Israel was no less a massacre of the indigenous people of Palestine..continuing to this day 💔💔💔💔💔

Across the days of disorder O'Rourke called for violence, celebrated it, was angry there was not more + gave tips on taking part + attacked traitors defending mosques.

Lucy Connolly posted an ugly & stupid tweet - before there was any violence. Unlike O'Rourke, she did not carry on through it

A further post read: 'People of Southport where the f**k are you, get out on the street.' That post had 1.7 million views, the court heard

Other posts showed a pic of the County Road mosque in Liverpool + a picture of burning car in Sunderland with "go on lads"

The Trump administration is objectively pro-dictatorship, in the global sense.

Then they came for the Dreamers Immigrants brought here as children were told they wouldn’t be deported. Now, they’re being targeted anyway.

Dreamers were once obvious candidates for a path to citizenship. Now, they’re getting picked up, detained, and set for potential deportation.

Also, the HHS Secretary sold cocaine in college and was a heroin addict for 14 years so it is RICH whenever they go after people for old drug offenses.

The U.K., which controls some territories in the Caribbean, operates an intelligence network in the area. In a major break between longtime allies, it has stopped sharing this intelligence with the U.S. government. trib.al/8CtoMyu

A Navy captain was set to become the first woman to oversee Navy SEALs in a Naval Special Warfare command—until her promotion was abruptly canceled with barely an explanation. trib.al/lgDDl7r

“They want to keep it the brotherhood and don’t like that she’s coming in and challenging the status quo.”

In 2024, Tesla reported a profit of $7.1B but paid no corporate income tax—and it's legal. Corporations are forever telling the IRS their profits are low, even as they tell Wall Street that their profits are high.

Both Trump terms have been one business tax cut after another. trib.al/K4p0SVR

Sean Duffy: "I can't guarantee safety"

Ups and downs... if the downs were just more ups.

Trump on why he wants to sue the BBC: "They actually changed my January 6 speech, which was a beautiful speech, which was a very calming speech. And they made it sound radical." (This is a lie -- Trump stoked up the crowd before the attack on the Capitol)

Sean Duffy: "what this country needs is fewer air traffic controllers, and for those who do show up to work to be demoralized"

We have the same issue in UK, which is why the Greens are doing so well. The Tories are afraid of pissing off the racist, xenophobic but often 'left behind' base that Farage is inciting; Labour is afraid of pissing off the same people, yet neither is afraid of pissing off ordinary decent people.

Office Hours: Why isn't the media reporting on Trump's dramatic mental decline? He's showing even more signs of dementia, but the media is mum

Trump's mental decline appears to be accelerating. So why isn’t the media reporting on it? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-why-isnt-the-media-reporting-dec

Sorry, Laura! I misread/misunderstood your comment! 😂 Congrats!

Republicans now know Schumer will cave and how.

They know they got 8 now. This is why it was important not to sell out.

Republicans still see taking away women's rights as their winning strategy. Not creating an economy where we have jobs, food, healthcare, housing. Forcing women and girls to give birth, even if they'll die, is the best they've got.

Private care providers in three English regions make £250m in three years More than third of profits analysed went to firms owned by private equity or based in tax havens, research finds

Privatisation is a scourge and a blight on our public services. It's way too expensive, it siphons money off to tax havens and reduces investment in infrastructure and services. As a society, we can't afford it.

Trump’s Last Stand: Begging the Supreme Court to Erase His Sex Abuse Verdict President Donald Trump, 79, has made his most audacious legal move yet — asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the $5 million civil verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing and defami…

Trump is asking the Supreme Court to rescue him from one of the ugliest stains on his record — the E. Jean Carroll verdict. His lawyers call it a “witch hunt.” His critics call it desperation. 💥🇺🇸 #Trump #EJeanCarroll #SCOTUS

Reporter: "Do believe E. Jean Carroll?"

Elise Stefanik: "No, of course not"

Reporter: "A jury found that Trump sexually abused her."

Elise Stefanik: "The media is so biased."

Reporter: "It’s not the media, it’s a jury that found Trump abused E. Jean Carroll."

Trump asks supreme court to throw out jury’s finding in E Jean Carroll lawsuit Writer and author had testified, and won, at trial that the president had sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s Donald Trump asked the US supreme court on Monday to throw out a jury’s finding in a civil lawsuit that he sexually abused writer E Jean Carroll at a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s and later defamed her. Trump’s lawyers argued in a lengthy filing with the high court that allegations leading to the $5m verdict were “propped up” by a “series of indefensible evidentiary rulings” that allowed Carroll’s lawyers to present “highly inflammatory propensity evidence” against him.

Trump asks supreme court to throw out jury’s finding in E Jean Carroll lawsuit

NEW: President Trump's pardon of his alleged 2020 co-conspirators was less about shielding them from past crimes, his adversaries say, than about signaling to others that he has their back if he needs them again in 2026 or 2028.
