President Obama: "When I was president, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor there or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work"

UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper: “Sudan is the worst humanitarian crisis of the 21st century.

“I spoke to an aid worker who has worked in conflict zones for 20 years. She said she had never seen sexual violence on this scale. “

We can expect no honesty, no decency, and no humanity from this Presidential administration. It will be like this until the microsecond he leaves.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

Ossoff: “This is the Epstein class... Trump is literally closing rural hospitals to cut taxes for George Soros...”

I would strongly encourage Democrats to continue with this rhetorical strategy.

It really subverts the entire worldview of the MAGA right.

The is like the captain of the Titanic taking the last lifeboat for himself.

The Birther-in-Chief's disgusting history of racism has its own page on Wikipedia.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

the perils of being a commentator

What is the point of Keir Starmer staying as prime minister?

By 50% to 24% Britons say Keir Starmer should resign .

First poll Starmer has been ahead in for quite a while.

Starmer knew about Mandelson.

Now he must resign.

Spain's Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Díaz: “I have left X. That network is a place of hate.

“We are not vassals of Elon Musk or Trump.”

1) My nominee for Nobel Peace Prize: The people of Minnesota.

2) My action-item for people of DC: Keep round-the-clock watch on the Kennedy Center, so Trump's goons don't do to it what they did to the East Wing.

Somewhere in Hell, Richard Nixon is being forced to watch everything Tr*mp is doing with absolutely no consequences. It's the most devious punishment the Devil could come up with.

Worth noting that this response actually concedes that what Pritzker said is true.

Pardoned J6ers continue their crime sprees across America.

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

I found the dumbest most pathetic post on the internet today:

Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it.

when you've lost Tim Scott ...

My favourite Taylor Swift lyric.

Black text on white background reading: I knew I’d curse you for the longest time, chasing shadows in the grocery line.

If you're rich you get a tax cut, if you're not you have to work longer and harder. Populism! bsky.app/profile/atru...

the problem with this newfound “bursary” argument aired in the Times is this:

twhen we first heard about these payments in September a person close to Mandelson said it couldn’t possibly be the case and, er, threatened to sue us

With all the Mandelson stuff going on it's amazing how public opinion suggests the UK public are looking forward to voting for MORE corruption in politics not less. Now might be a good time for parties to highlight how Mandy's bribes are jus the tip of the iceberg Farage is chasing.

From a cynical perspective, corruption in government is always there.

It is that just few ministers are as clumsy and arrogant as Mandelson.

One thing to be added to the whole Mandelson saga - those who want to be close to the centre of power and will do anything to get there are unlikely to be the most morally upstanding of folk.

Something that those reporting on politics like to ignore.
