Reform UK suspends by-election campaign activist over โ€˜antisemitic and misogynisticโ€™ posts EXCLUSIVE: Adam Mitula, Reform UKโ€™s interim campaign manager in Tameside, has been assisting Matt Goodwin's Gorton and Denton by-election campaign

So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.โ€

When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK?

I spoke with 18 people who've known Florida Republican Congressman Cory Mills. Nearly everyone, I found, dislikes him.

As one Army veteran who served with Mills put it, โ€œI wouldnโ€™t piss on him if he was on fire."

My Trump-supporting cousin-in-law just texted my husband to say he encountered this Mother Jones on social media, read it, realized I wrote it, and told him to tell me Iโ€™m doing good work and to keep going.

Things are changing, yโ€™all.

Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"

For some, freedom of speech is already gone Foreign-born academics are afraid to speak their mind in Donald Trump's America.

For many in the US, free speech is no longer a reality. In interviews with foreign-born academics, I repeatedly encountered fear that even mild criticism of the government (DJT) could cause problems, and that green cards and even citizenship wouldn't matter.

This rules so hard. In law school I remember people who wanted to be federal prosecutors spending three years doing everything they could to be maybe, possibly be competitive for an AUSA job someday. Now you just need to hop on X the everything app and DM a guy named Chad.

One party isnโ€™t sure whether to fund his lawless goons who are shooting legal observers in the face.

It's particularly galling to call for ICE to wear body cams when Renee Good's murder literally recorded the whole thing on his phone. He was so confident in his impunity as part of that organization that he recorded and allowed for the release of footage of him shooting a woman at point blank.
