Farage has announced his Shadow Cabinet, with no Health Secretary.

Presumably because if he becomes Prime Minister, there’ll be no NHS.

We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

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

Trump is a vile racist of very low intelligence, infantile temperament and insistently malevolent nature. No further explanation is necessary. I’m going to post everyday until he’s removed by congress or a body bag.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

I just arrived in Colombia. I'm a little scared of being here without money, but at least I'm in my country without the fear of being kidnapped in the street

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

The Payne Haas bombshell has changed the fate of two NRL powerhouses Payne Haas's decision to leave Brisbane for South Sydney in 2027 didn't just shock the rugby league world, it transformed the futures of two of rugby league's most powerful clubs in an instant.

The fact that Trump posts racism and there is no consequences makes the US even more racist than before. You wouldn't think it possible, but here we are.

Played a lot like George. Good ball player and rugby brain.

Trump offered to unfreeze funding for NYC tunnel if Dulles airport, train station renamed for him, source says U.S. President Donald Trump offered last month to drop his hold on funding for a key $16 billion New York Hudson River tunnel project in exchange for Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer supporting the re...

How is this even legal? Officials in the Trump administration dangled the release of billions in stalled funding for the Hudson River rail tunnel on the condition that Senator Schumer spearhead an effort to rename prominent transit centers in New York City and Washington in Trump’s honor.

same with CNN - it's just not there.

Vive la France!

I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.

Musk-loving incels having another tough day

Please, my magic bean, it is very sick

To be fair to Trump, I'm aligned with him on this. We finally found an issue.

This is real, and it’s located near Tesla’s flagship London store in Tottenham.

Spotlighting The World Factbook as We Bid a Fond Farewell Somewhat devastating news today from the CIA: One of CIA’s oldest and most recognizable intelligence publications, The World Factbook, has sunset. There's not even a hint as to why they …

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!

This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

The worst of Donald Trump has not yet been felt nationwide, or worldwide, for that matter.

The Trump administration continues on its path to destroying everything. Its latest decision approves a highway corridor running through Utah’s Red Cliffs National Conservation Area after the Bureau of Land Management reversed a 2024 ruling that had denied the route.

For those keeping score at home:

This is how democracy ends.

But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.

Its crazy how so many knew this BEFORE the election and just how many have finally started to see the light.

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

Gavin Newsom: “We were down at the Democracy Center in Little Tokyo — Greg Bovino was out there trying to intimidate people from walking in. We said that was a preview of things to come as well — this is a guy who literally goes on eBay & tries to find 1930s outfits”

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
