Even diehard Tories speak the truth sometimes. Although I’m sure the current Tory crop will brand him an unpatriotic traitor…

On the #BBCNews website they say they can't quote the line that was removed from Rutger Bregman's Reith Lecture for legal reasons. So does that mean nobody can now accuse Trump of (well-documented) corruption on any BBC programme? #LBC @lbc.co.uk

Large MAGA accounts on X turn out to be registered in Asia, Africa, and Russia Dozens of major X accounts promoting Donald Trump’s political agenda and other far-right narratives turn out to have been originally registered in Russia, Asia, and Africa

Not only pro-Trump accounts have been registered far from their geographical area of focus. RussiaNews is registered in the UAE. A large cluster of accounts loyal to the Iranian regime had been registered in the country β€” despite the official ban on X. theins.ru/en/news/287148

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.

Once again: the House GOP has not passed a full appropriations package since Kevin McCarthy became speaker (and Biden was POTUS). Their failure to fulfill the basic functions of Congress didn't start with Trump. He just weaponized their inherent meekness.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Thats odd..... No one ever said HIS orders!
They only said "illegal orders".

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive.

So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot.

It's that Bondi is too.

Could it be that child abusers are protecting Trump?

Why would anyone not involved in Trump's nefarious activities get involved in blocking the truth?

It doesn't make sense. It will come out, and those involved might be committing a crime by blocking justice.

How ultra-processed food became a corporate-engineered health crisis
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy How ultra-processed food became a corporate-engineered health crisis

Ultra-processed foods now make up at least half of all food sold in UK supermarkets. The Lancet has described them as a β€œcorporate-engineered public health crisis.”

We can change this β€” but only if we confront corporate power.

New: Boris Johnson’s β€˜Brexit Titanic success’ was half right Nearly ten years on, the first full assessment of Brexit confirms what millions warned: Britain made itself poorer

Rachel Reeves says there’s a β€œhole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:

a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's Β£180bn-Β£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.

Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.

Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.
