BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds Biden law requiring serial numbers and background checks for untraceable ghost gun kits by a 7-2 ruling.
The kits allow anyone to build a gun at home with no serial number nor registration.
Biden is keeping America safe.
Trump endangers us all.
In the face of growing threats to democracies globally it would be the height of madness for any country to play politics over a vital defence pact – we surely all have bigger fish to fry.

Complete nonsense from Mike Waltz who knows better. He likely thought he was inviting someone else with same initials and fucked up. Every 13 year old can grok this idiotic move.

The Spring Statement was a missed opportunity to deliver the change our communities are crying out for.
The Government had the chance today to kickstart growth by scrapping their jobs tax.
Instead they have chosen to inflict more pain on small businesses, GPs and care homes.

THIS should terrify everyone. Trump wants to steal the right to vote from all non-white bodied Americans, and further rig our system to help billionaires stay in power, and keep struggling Americans struggling.

Oh, perfect. Trump has put Musk and his staffers in charge of investigating how Jeffrey Goldberg ended up in the Signal chat. I’m sure we can all expect a thorough, unbiased report any day now (Sarcasm).
