‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

“The guards at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing from them: that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. “Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,””

‘We almost lost you in the night’ - the life-threatening rise of measles in the UK It is one of the most infectious diseases around, and can cause blindness and hearing loss – and can also be fatal. Why are cases now soaring and what can be done about it?

Measles, just like the old days, potential eyesight loss, hearing loss, and even death! Vaccines work BTW!

Georgia Ballot Inquiry Originated From Election Denier in Trump White House

“An F.B.I. search warrant affidavit unsealed on Tuesday shows that a criminal investigation into 2020 election results in Fulton County, Ga., was set off by a leading election denier in the Trump administration and relied heavily on claims about ballots that have been widely debunked.” No surprise!

We can reverse America’s decline | Bernie Sanders It is not good enough just to criticize Trump. We must offer a positive vision that will improve the lives of Americans

“Where do we go from here? How do we reverse America’s decline? How do we create an economy that works for working people and not just billionaires, a vibrant democracy and a foreign policy based on international law? The answer is not complicated.“

Critics aghast as White House displays framed photo of Trump with Putin Lawmaker from Estonia says photo celebrates ‘the greatest war criminal of the 21st century’

“Donald Trump has apparently added a framed photo of himself standing with Vladimir Putin to the White House decor, prompting criticism from a senator, members of the media and beyond.” Kind of goes with the gaudy gold decorations (can’t wait to see the new ballroom 🤮).

Trump’s not the first US president to fall in love with war. History shows where this is going | Peter Beinhart In his fresh intoxication with global conquest, Trump is following an established pattern – one that promises disaster

“Trump is not the first president to grow intoxicated with the fruits of state violence, and to forget that wars do not only empower presidents. They destroy them too.”

‘You don’t want this smoke’: US sheriff reflects on her viral remarks about ICE Philadelphia sheriff Rochelle Bilal’s words have become a rallying cry against Trump’s immigration crackdown

A true hero! “We stand here today with all those who stand against the made-up, fake, what you can call ICE, professional law enforcement,” I don’t call them none of that. I call them made-up, fake, wannabe law enforcement. Because what they do is against not only legal law, but the moral law.”

‘Absolutely no detail’: experts alarmed as Trump unveils healthcare plan Months after Trump spoke of ‘concepts of a plan’, framework offers few specifics – and could stall in Congress

“The ‘plan’ includes absolutely no detail even though the president and the administration have been promising a credible health plan within two weeks for many, many years. This plan is more about increasing the number of uninsured, on top of the 10 million who will already lose coverage under HR1”

Historic upset in English soccer's FA Cup as Macclesfield beat holders Crystal Palace The result marks the first time in 117 years that a side from outside the major national leagues has eliminated the reigning FA Cup holders.

The first time in 117 years that a side from outside the major national leagues has eliminated the reigning FA Cup holders.

The gap of 5 divisions between the two clubs makes this the most improbable "giant-killing" moment in FA Cup history.

Under Trump, 317,000 workers are out of the government. Here are 3 of their stories Mass firings, buyouts and heightened uncertainty led to an exodus of federal workers in 2025. More than 300,000 employees will be out of the government by the end of December.

“By the end of 2025, 317,000 federal employees will be out of the government, according to the Office of Personnel Management. Tens of thousands were fired. Far more retired or resigned, out of fear they would lose their jobs if they stuck around. Others, say the working conditions became untenable”
