Vance launches into Trump's 'war on fraud' by suspending Medicaid payments to Minnesota The announcement came a day after Trump announced the vice president would take on a new role leading the administration's anti-fraud efforts.

Donald Trump and JD Vance withheld $259 million in Medicaid funds for Minnesota. Why are they so vindictive? The state has suffered enough because of the presence of ICE. This doesn’t occur in states that voted for him.

Call off the King’s visit to the US for the 250th anniversary of America's independence With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful messag...

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. But after his latest insults to British troops, will you add your name to the petition to cancel this state visit? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

Absolutely insane story about a middle-aged woman from Hertfordshire who got arrested, shackled, and detained by ICE and held in a prison for eight weeks.... while on holiday... with a valid tourist visa... as she tried to leave the country.

I've just told my publishers to remove the Daily Mail quote they were going to put on the cover of the paperback of my latest novel. I don't care if the Daily Mail gave it a good review. The name of that shitrag is not going on the cover of my book.

Unfortunately, this is precisely what the GOP wants. They do not want anyone who’s not white, rich, & male to succeed in this country. They’d love going back to the time of slavery.

WE THE PEOPLE MUST keep that from happening.

Remember, the darkest part of the night will succumb to light.

Listen to Juliette Bryant. "They whisked me away to the island and then I was stuck there," she said.
"They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was basically completely conned.”

Dont stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles.

Vance is lying. Most of the people being deported, or even arrested, are not criminals, many are US citizens, and none of this is going to raise wages.

I’m sorry, but if we hold everyone in the Epstein files accountable for their involvement and punish each one for their crimes to the fullest extent, we will begin to collapse a long-standing system that has only given power to elitist excrement and I don’t see a motherfucking problem with this

My degree data (1981) was fed into a computer the size of a large room on punchcards and I received a foot high stack of paper. I then went through it with a calculator to analyse the print out ….

UK fact-checking charity Full Fact runs a public tracker of Labour’s pledges.
Of around 80 key manifesto pledges:
17 were rated β€œachieved”
18 β€œon track”
19 showing some progress
3 off track
1 not kept
Several unclear.
So two-thirds are delivered or moving forward.
Don’t hear about this though! 🀷

Who does thar?

I'll tell you - people who are deliberately engineering controversy in the hope that it will get talked about on talk radio stations and GB News

Children trapped in Texas immigration facility recount nightmares, inedible food, no school A photo of Liam Conejo Ramos, a scared 5-year-old, drew attention to a detention center in Dilley, Texas. Advocates say his experience reflects what hundreds of children have endured out of public vie...

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who β€” like Liam Ramos β€” have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care.

Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

Munich air disaster - Wikipedia

Remembering those who perished on this day in 1958, when a flight carrying Manchester United players, staff and journalists crashed shortly after takeoff in Munich, West Germany.

23 of the 44 people on board lost their lives. The 'Busby Babes' were an exciting young team decimated on that day.
