Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber

If Reeves was a CEO she'd be down the

Starmer should get a backbone and
sack her.

The "Rachel from accounts" thing is sexist, classist, misogyny, and anyone who uses it should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

Too many dinosaurs in this country who cannot abide women who succeed.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

I see naive reporting that Pu has offered to negotiate w Zelensky. He hasn't. Pu made his usual "yes, but" manipulation. He says he'll talk to Ze but still insists Ze can't sign agreements. A double manipulation because Ze has πŸ’―constitutional legitimacy and Pu could care less about legality.

This makes me think of the joke about the Jewish couple meeting the Rabbi before the wedding.

"Can we dance together?"
"Absolutely not. The bible forbids it."
"Can we have sex on the night?"
"Yes, it's a mitzvah!"
"Any position?"
"Any except standing. That might lead to dancing."

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

@alexvont.bsky.social - Hi, Enjoyed the Bunker pod, but just wondering why, in reference to the boat stopped by the Israelis, you said that the IDF hadn't shot anyone *yet*? AFAIK, the crew are unarmed and have simply beein intercepted and are being flown home. Why the talk of shooting?

8 killed. 70 injured (including 6 children). Rescue teams racing to find 2 more under Kyiv’s rubble.

And Trump is obsessed with critiquing Zelensky’s rhetoric.
Great leaders focus on saving lives, not scorecardsβ€”and upholding our shared values.

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Just landed in El Salvador to discuss release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Putin’s stooge.

AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists A federal judge has ordered the White House to restore The Associated Press’ full access to cover presidential events.

Good news that may have got lost this week...

A judge ordered the White House to restore The Associated Press’ full access to cover presidential events. It's a win for the freedom of the press. πŸ‘

But it's shameful these are wins we're having to celebrate in the first place. 🀦

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking...

We detained a British tourist for weeks β€” including eight days in solitary β€” as she tried to leave the U.S. for Canada. Trump is going to end tourism to this country.

Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih.

14 dead, five of them children. Over 50 people injured. The numbers continue to increase.

πŸ“Ή: parents by the body of their son. Russia killed him.

I'm enjoying the penguin-tariffs memes 😁, but don't let them distract you from the less-than-funny fact that Trump has imposed no #tariffs on Russia. Anyone wondering why?

Rachel Sylvester named Observer political editor as around half staff leave title Rachel Sylvester named Observer political editor as less than half existing staff make the move across to Tortoise Media.

More blood loss at the Observer. No jobs would be lost they said, as the Observer New Review & mag ate both gutted. Less than half the staff electing to go. Senior Times journalists in pretty much all roles.

The basic risk is this: Iran has sophisticated SIGINT capabilities. If any single member of the 20-person group chat had allowed their handset to be compromised by spyware then it’s a direct line from Iran->Houthis. This isn’t some kind of remote possibility. It’s a real, live risk that was ignored.

I’m as dumbfounded as anyone by #signalgate, but it’s not just Hegseth at fault. NSA Waltz established group and invited Goldberg. No one checked the invitees or objected to discussing secure material. Even if Trump fires all of them, he’ll just appoint awful replacements. The rot starts with him.

Russia struck the center of Sumy with a ballistic missile, and there was a school nearby. Fortunately, the children were in a shelter, all alive and well. Several houses and the school were damaged.
