Centrist Democrats introduced an alternative war powers resolution giving the administration 30 days to end Iran hostilities while maintaining regional troop presence for defense, contrasting with the immediate withdrawal requirement of the Khanna-Massie measure.

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

När Ungern blockerar stöd till Ukraina blottlägger de bristerna i EU. Så länge medlemsstater har vetorätt i ministerrådet kommer vi aldrig ha en fungerande demokrati eller union som stoppar företag från att exploatera vanliga människor.

First Draft: Israel First, America Second Trump’s madman war with Iran has led to Democrats finally coalescing around a new anti-war, Israel-critical stance, while Republicans flounder with no idea what they’re supposed to say.

Spoke to senators amid Marco Rubio's shocking admission that Israel is why the US joined the disastrous war on Iran.

From what they told me, Democrats finally seem to be coalescing around a new anti-war, Israel-critical stance — while Republicans flounder, with no idea what they’re supposed to say:

Pete Hegseth’s Crazed, Angry Tirades on Iran Give Dems a Big Opening It’s not enough for Democrats to say Trump’s war rationales haven’t been fully explained. The problem is that they are patently false.

Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/

BB-chef pudlar: Personalen hade rätt om tvättlappar Personalen på BB i Malmö hade rätt när de sa att de fått direktiv om att inte ge ut tvättlappar till nyblivna föräldrar. Det uppger verksamhetschefen Charlotte Hellsten i en intervju med P4 Malmöhus.

Toppstyrda organisationer utan tvåvägskommunikation leder till att mellanchefer kommer på korkade ideer för att hålla budgeten utan att högsta chef förstår att det är en konsekvens av dens beslut. Vi kommer inte fixa välfärden utan plattare organisation.

Sensationell opinionsmätning i Storbritannien. Greens upp fyra till 21%, hack i häl på Reform som backar till 23%, Labour bara delad trea på 16%. Greens är alltså största parti nu i alla åldersgrupper under 50 år. Hela 49% av 18-24 år är gröna

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

While I suspect there may be an element of a post by-election bump here, it should be a warning sign for Labour that their hostile policies towards asylum seekers, migrants in general, trans and non-binary individuals, disabled people etc aren't winning them any votes.

Something strange really is happening. Some of the MAGA voices now breaking with Trump are suddenly making points that actually make sense. Are we agreeing with them or are they finally agreeing with us? It’s honestly unsettling finding ourselves nodding along with MTG and Massie on a regular basis.
