AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.

U.S. Opens Military Action in Ecuador Against β€˜Terrorist Organizations’

By the way, we are now conducting three colonialist military actions against other nations at once:

1) Venezuela
2) Iran
3) Ecuador, as of last night

"No Churchill?" Well, we ain't dealing with Franklin Roosevelt, buddy.

JD Vance lying about his lies is so utterly predictable.

The American people can’t get any real answers at Pentagon press briefings during a war because Hegseth is afraid to call on real reporters for questions. He can only handle softballs from right-wing lackeys.

What matters most about your interests is that they make your autistic self happy.

Whether other people find them productive is irrelevant.

You don't have to produce anything.

You're not a machine.

Some may like, others may not.

Your interests are for you.

Do what makes you happy.

Trump rebukes Starmer again for not letting US attack Iran from UK bases US president criticises prime minister for third time 24 hours, describing him as β€˜not Churchill’ over initial refusal

The transatlantic relationship is dysfunctional, and will be until Trumpism is gone.

Time for the UK to embrace a European future.

Time to set course to rejoin the EU!

Brexit: the Β£240bn mistake we can't afford to keep making - West Country Voices Nearly ten years after the referendum, the numbers are in. And they’re devastating. The economic carnage Multiple independent studies published in 2025 have reached the same brutal conclusion: By 2025...

An excellent breakdown of all areas of Brexit damage

By 2025, Brexit has reduced UK GDP by 6 to 8 per cent.

That’s Β£240bn per year that our economy has lost.

Not β€œmight lose.” HAS LOST

I really think that Hegseth really thinks this is all some grand-scale video game. We live in an arcade, people.

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody.

This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration.

This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.

Spanish PM SΓ‘nchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Don't worry, US troops are being told war with Iran will bring back Jesus! Are you ready for Operation Second Coming?

According to the Huffington Post, one commander had a β€œbig grin” on his face while explaining Donald Trump β€œhas been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran”. I’m not making this shit up!

He really isn't in touch with reality any more. The world is what he imagines it to be. No annoying facts, just the reality that he sees right now. And he can make his reality what he wants: the world's best peacemaker or the dramatic leader who destroys a hated head of state on a whim,
