Matt "Winter is here"

YouTube video by The Warning with Steve Schmidt Karoline Leavitt's Response to a Journalist Question Was REPREHENSIBLE

While she's normally aggressive with the media, Karoline Leavitt took things to a new level when she levied a playground-level response at a reporter. I react to the "Your Mom" comment and explain exactly what type of person Leavitt is.

Not read the article but that sounds like deporting *permanent* residents who may have lived here for significant periods of time, maybe even their whole lives. As somebody who wasn’t a British citizen for the first 22 years of their life but U.K. is the only country I’ve ever known it’s v. chilling

"She has a bulletproof vest and full-time security. One of the men who stormed the Capitol on January 6th 2021 said he hoped someone would cut her throat “from ear to ear”."

He did WHAT!?!

I have advised him he is risking making this a more serious offence by carrying on so incessantly. He has a sense he can't be caught.

I don't know if the police investigation will fail - when it comes to getting the information from the platform to identify him - or they will pursue it properly

EVs or something else?

Indeed. In case anyone wondered whether Farage was a bad man or not

He is.

A smuggled book changed his life. Now he’s built 500 prison libraries. Reginald Dwayne Betts was locked up as a teenager for carjacking. Books were his escape, and he went on to be a poet, lawyer and founder of Freedom Reads.

dodger stadium's 16,000-spot parking lot is so huge, it could fit ~10 more dodger stadiums in its place. a monument to socal's asphalt addiction more than to baseball.

meanwhile in toronto, an actual walkable, bustling city exists around the stadium

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

I would hope that one of the many MPs who benefits from Sunder's tireless work would take up this case - the defamatory video needs removing urgently, and the person responsible needs to be found and held accountable

"Respectable" racism and the mass deportation of our neighbours How the British right out-Trumps Trump

The Conservatives plans to deport hundreds of thousands of legal residents of the UK are far more extreme than anything Donald Trump is proposing
Piece from me on the horror show of the right morphing into the far right

FFS, this is a govt with no concept of the real world

Hmm, I read this as:

1) Social eco spending (purple) largely mitigates fixed costs of policies (blue)
2) Ditto social rebastes and social policy costs (reds) and so there's a fairly narrow range of net impacts (black boxes) that means the burden is share largely equally

What am I missing?

Neel, how many people have even heard of these teams, let alone care about the result?

Thursday is the best day of the week for ultra-niche football watchers. That's about 5 of you!

This is not a Kavanaugh stop. This is a Roberts murder.

One further cruelty has not been spotted about the Conservative Mass Deportation bill proposed by Chris Philp, Katie Lam, Matt Vickers et al

Bill would block all people on the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Scheme of 2016-21 from ever getting ILR in Britain
+ revoke any past grants of ILR to those on it

Almost nobody in the Cons Party or beyond it had noticed that the Shadow Home Secretary with two other frontbenchers and 5 backbenchers tabled a bill in May to deport 3 million people - stripping almost every pensioner, parent or nurse who did not take out citizenship of their right to live here

Well, given peace in Ukraine was going to take 24 hours, I'll give that prediction all the credibility it warrants.

The overlap between populism and kleptocracy is 100%

Shocking thread on Tory ILR 'reform' proposal, which is utter madness

Tory deportation plan would upend Britain Proposing such a radical bill with little public support is a gift to Nigel Farage

Hadn’t, in truth, really absorbed the scale of what the Conservatives are proposing on ILR and immigration more broadly until this week’s Sunday Times interviews. Some thoughts on that in today’s note:

Massive for Wirtz!

A fast beak and a transition... who knew they were so effective. Are you watching... was Curtis's contribution good?

Ekitike!!!!

What a signing he has been in terms of confidence, settling and taking the opportunity.
