At this very moment both the BBC News and Sky News channels are yet again showing a live speech by Nigel Farage. When will they start showing every speech by @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @eddavey.libdems.org.uk live as well?

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

Trump lost an election just like exactly half of every candidate that ever ran. For 240 years people lost with dignity. Then Trump comes along and it’s all fraud, the ballots are wrong, mail in voting is anti Trump, we need to show ids. All because one tiny little man lost. Trump lost not America.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

That's not the way it works. Again, it's a political move with midterms not based on any sort of financial or legal reality.

Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on elections: In the past, we’ve mostly seen foreign interference — my bigger fear now is domestic interference, some of that potentially originating inside the administration.

Short term, medium term, long term: We have to stop funding ICE. Period.

Opinion | How much money has Trump made as president? The answer should worry us all. Ian Bassin: As an Obama White House lawyer, I counseled staff to behave like they are allergic to free stuff. What the Journal report describes threatens not just the public trust but also our nationa...

As a White House ethics lawyer I told staff:

“Be allergic to free stuff” and not to even accept a can of soda from someone with business before the White House.

So how has the story of a UAE royal making a deal worth nearly $200m to the Trump family fallen out of news? www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.

Big corporations are planning another round of price increases thanks to Donald Trump’s tariffs, which is weird because he told us he defeated inflation. He couldn’t have lied… right?

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

YouTube video by Channel 4 News Starmer warns against ‘over-reliance’ on US and urges closer UK ties to Europe

Two ICE-Gestapo killers have been placed on leave after lying under oath about a violent encounter they supposedly faced during their seige in Minneapolis. They face termination and criminal charges.

Good, they aren’t agents, they are terrorists. They should all be sent to jail.

This guy raped little girls.

This is the real Donald Trump. He tells you who he is.

Translation: I will steal this election, and my lawyers will find a thin excuse to justify it.

“If We Don’t Have Free Speech, Then We Just Don’t Have a Free Country” - The New Yorker

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

Jeffrey Epstein's December 20, 2016 email to Bill Gates: "come to visit the island. new administration people visiting."

What was the upcoming administration in December2016? Oh!

If we’re fortunate enough to have one final chance to vote in a legitimate election in Nov., we cannot elect Congressmen and Senators from the Merrick Garland School of Cowardice and Silent Sedition.

We MUST elect champions of democracy who will fight to save America from fascism.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

How utterly embarrassing.

It’s not the pilot’s job to remember cosplay Barbie’s blankie.

The most corrupt pro-Putin president in US history endorses the most corrupt pro-Putin leader in Europe.
