It really matters because Farage relies on both a veneer of public โ€˜respectabilityโ€™ *and* an undercoat of racism to further his bid for power. He wonโ€™t get there without both. So, itโ€™s very important that the โ€˜respectabilityโ€™ element is justifiably stripped away.

All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.

It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetโ€™s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, itโ€™s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until heโ€™s gone and gets replaced by someone who isnโ€™t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

Trump's prosecutions of Comey and Letitia James fell apart precisely because he ousted career prosecutors who insisted on following facts and law. His installation of a pliant stooge is what blew up in his face.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it wonโ€™t work. Iโ€™ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity.

They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators.
