It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

Reading an article about the 25th anniversary of Tate Modern and learned the building was in use as a power station for less than 20 years, from 1962 to 1981 - meaning it's been an art gallery for longer than it was ever a power station.

A leading Israeli news site quotes Netanyahu telling his top general, 2 days after Oct 7, to ‘take down houses, bomb with everything you have.’

An admission of war crimes from the horse’s mouth. Let’s see how the hasbarists try spin this.

A memorial plaque dedicated to PC Keith Palmer GM, set into a stone monument with black iron fencing in the background. The plaque reads: 'In Remembrance P.C. Keith Palmer GM 22nd March 2017.' At the base of the monument, there is an arrangement of white and green floral tributes laid in remembrance.

Floral wreaths laid in remembrance for the anniversary of the Westminster Bridge terror attack. The wreaths are attached to the railing of Westminster Bridge, with the Houses of Parliament visible in the background.

The Westminster Bridge terror attack was not only an attack on London, but an attack on the values we hold dear.

Today as a city we remember the victims, their loved ones and the bravery of the first responders who ran towards danger to protect us. They will never be forgotten.

Group of Labour MPs urge No 10 to be tougher on migration to fend off Reform Exclusive: Pressure group set up by MPs from seats where Reform came second amid concern about party’s rise

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives *now*

“Audacious”? Truly disgusting.

For the visual learners...

A President should not be publicly speculating about an accident while the recovery effort is still underway and the investigation has barely begun, when there has been no comment from the NTSB. Expressing grief for the loss and support for the investigation should be the entirety of the comments.

He said he wouldn’t use the language but I pressed him on whether he thought it was factually wrong. He said “I don’t know what Jess is.”
