New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

In the past, the British public were reluctant to change the voting system.

This has shifted dramatically.

Now 60% of people want change, including supporters of all major parties. It's time for PR.

1/10 Confirmation of Emil Bove to 3d Cir marks a turning pt, at least for me. It's one thing for craven R senators to approve parade of incompetents & lickspittles Trump put forward for his cabinet. An appalling dereliction of their constitutional duty, to be sure. But (always assuming we have...

GOVERNOR @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: “What a disgrace, what’s happening in MacArthur Park… what THEATER… National Guard men & women are being used as political pawns… Donald Trump & Stephen Miller’s hearts are polluted.”

ICYMI: Lib Dem MP Danny Chambers’ Private Members’ Bill on animal welfare passed through the House of Commons on Friday, with ministers backing the Bill.

The vet MP's bill will ban the import of pets with cropped ears and who are heavily pregnant. It will now head to the Lords with govt support.

This really is not getting the attention it should. The Tories' latest proposal is to exclude *any household that includes any foreign national from any benefit*.

And when asked about it, they keep citing small boat crossings - a minute fraction of migration - to justify it. ~AA

"That bill was a complete and utter mess. No impact assessment and no consultation with disabled people or their carers."

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms. 

But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately.

Remember this.

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans.

This is Washington at its worst.

We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

Resentment toward imaginary poor freeloaders makes up like 90% of these people’s personalities and 98% of their politics

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

The tale of Trump and “his” justices — you need to understand this to understand what went down at the Supreme Court. The commonly understood story is wrong.

So here we go 🧵

Leavitt without a trace of irony: "When you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful."

RFK Jr. says US won’t donate to global vaccine effort Kennedy ripped into Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in a video address at its pledging summit.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs?

VOUGHT: I reject the assertion

MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

Death Stranding 2 is finally here, and reports indicate that it fully harnesses the power of the PS5 to bring you the most detailed bare feet in a videogame to date.
