I loathe him more than tRump 🤮🤮🤮

Presented without comment:

Phase 3 of Trump’s attempt to rig the midterms for an autocratic takeover of the Republic. He says he will sign an executive order on how states must conduct elections and they are required to follow it.

“Why won’t Zohran Mamdani denounce a dangerous slogan?” asks a headline in the Atlantic.

Meanwhile, Andrew Cuomo isn’t asked to denounce a dangerous war criminal whose legal team he joined.

Not yet please!

Someone's mad ,,,,in every sense of the word

A few people have asked for a shorter summary of our piece on the Reform UK "Britannia card" proposal.

We've also updated our report with a full copy of the Reform UK paper. Quick thread:

Senator Padilla makes an excellent point: if the FBI and Secret Service were willing to physically remove a Senator they had just escorted into the room, force him down on the floor and cuff him because he tried to ask a question

What do you think they & ICE do to regular people?

Oh my goodness 😍

🤣🤣🤣

So sorry to hear that 💕

46 years of nursing means I fully support this, I’ve seen some horrors 😔

I fear you're right 🫣

The National Institutes of Health is responsible for more than 80% of the world’s grant investment in biomedical research... The NIH has rarely revoked funding once it has been awarded...

Then Donald Trump was reelected.

If these are the best conditions that the 🍊💩 and that drunk Hegseth could arrange for American troops in America, the US military better pray that neither is ever responsible for sending troops into an actual warzone.

It’s terrifying.
By the way, is your cat a Birman? So gorgeous

Why not green ?

Please complain. Let’s flood the BBC complaints dept. They are planning to appeal to Reform voters and aren’t even hiding their bias now. This is not ok.

Monstrous

How is Stephen Miller supposed to keep in touch with his wife now?

Petition: Ensure plurality of political coverage across UK broadcast media at all times We want to ensure that a plurality of views from all political parties in Westminster are represented and the nations parliaments are heard all year round, not just election times. The rules for cover...

We need to get this petition to at least 10k sigs to get the issue talked about properly. We all know it greatly worries people. Please spread & get as many to sign as you can. Meantime we’ll be lobbying broadcasters, OFCOM + DCMS. May be write to your MP too. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

A fragile, precarious existence that causes anxiety. Tragically the Reform Party benefits from this by claiming the cause is immigration when it is profiteering by private sector which pays poverty wages to many whilst making huge profits l.

No surprise there, that Nigel Farage's '£7 Billion DEI Savings' don't actually exist.

What is surprising, is how many people, especially in the #MSM, still refuse to call him out and help him instead, to keep spewing his lies and racism and his incitement to hate.
