Is this bad? This seems bad.

Any idiot knows a shield wall only works if there are no gaps.

Except for the Tangerine Idiot, evidently.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

My 87 year old mother, a lifelong Democrat, on the way to vote in the Texas primary elections yesterday. Giving me Blind Al vibes.

Looking like good news all round for Democrats in Texas but they still have a steep hill to climb in November.

I left the classified briefing on Iran even more concerned about what comes next as Trump drags us into what's so clearly a war.Β

Unsurprisingly - but sadly - the entire political class are failing to read the room, bar Polanski and Khan so far.

Especially disappointed in Carney, given the brilliant 'Middle Powers' speech. But plenty of blame to go round.

Good point. Wouldn't be surprised if we had another 70s style price / availability shock globally.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Democratic primary turnout is surging in Texas, according to early voting data | CNN Politics Early voting data ahead of next Tuesday’s US Senate primaries in Texas suggest a sharp rise in Democratic turnout, pointing to a continuing trend of strong enthusiasm among the party’s base.

This tracks with what my brother told me. He tried to take our mother to vote yesterday in Williamson County but the lines were too long so they got a mail ballot instead.

Just have to carry that enthusiasm over to November. Is the gerrymander backfiring?

If you ever visit Winchester you might consider staying at the Black Hole. Not a former prison but the decor is prison-themed. Not as daft as it sounds - the rooms are extremely comfy, it's the the common areas that are spartan.

It's so refreshing to find someone who has heard of Iolanthe, much less knows it well enough to make such a significant logical leap!

I saw a brilliant all-male version of Iolanthe in London about 10 years ago. Still one of my favourite live entertainment experiences.

Man I'd hate to own a business in the hospitality sector in the US right now. Triple whammy of far fewer tourists, higher costs due to tariffs and a sharply reduced labor pool due to immigration raids. All due to the Tangerine Tyrant.

The Art of the Deal, indeed.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.
