Donald Trump's puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month's election.

Sending the feds into California polling places is a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election.

We will not back down. Californians decide our future — no one else.

Netanyahu:

"Would a country committing genocide plead with the civilian population that it is supposedly targeting to get out of harms way? Did the Nazis ask the Jews to leave? Of course not"

Actually, encouraging Jews to emigrate is exactly what the Nazis did 1933-39.

Ignorant of Jewish history.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Today I can’t decide which story to be more moved by, man buys his disabled Mum a field so she can rescue Donkeys or penniless waitress with a recently bankrupt business finds £800,000 down the back of a sofa to buy her boyfriend a house.

Extraordinary level of blatant lying on the Mail’s front page this morning.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

Rayner to resign as Deputy Labour Leader, not just DPM. The real nightmare scenario for No 10. Now a Dep Leadership election incoming. Months of (unpredictable) Labour introspection and party soul searching- a Labour speciality.

Germany wants to be Europe’s military power. China could get in the way. Both EU and U.S. defense sectors are dependent on Chinese raw materials, but they have taken very different approaches to freeing themselves of Beijing.

“Anyone who wants a resilient defense industry must authorize mining sites, approve extraction, and prioritize funding.”

Here is an image of the crowd of people that chased a dozen ICE agents out of Columbia Heights yesterday. I don’t see one “elderly white hippie” there.

I do see a wide variety of ages, genders, and races; DC residents united in disgust at what Miller is cheering on.

President Zelenskyy is a heroic man.

Do you have access to the EPSTEIN Files? Want to be inducted into the Whistleblower's Hall of Fame, be glorified in history as the Savior of Democracy & have an annual holiday named in your honor?
All of this can be yours if you simply: #LeakTheEPSTEIN-Files!*

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Want to know what happened to health care? Government capitation of fees, allowing capitalists to buy hospitals, insurance companies.
The only system standing is Medicare and they are forcing it into privatization.
ALL OF THOS IS FOR PROFIT NOT TO BENEFIT QUALITY HEALTH CARE.

Rachel Reeves must raise taxes to cover £41bn gap, says think tank The chancellor will miss her self-imposed rules without action, the National Institute for Economic Affairs says.

As far as I’m concerned it’s Yes to Tax Increases but only for the very wealthy ✅
Not for anyone else ✅

Let those who can afford the most pay more and close tax avoidance loopholes in order benefit those who can’t afford to pay more❗️

Two months after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, in June 2022, Idaho’s trigger ban outlawing most abortions—one of the strictest nationwide—took effect.

According to a new peer-reviewed paper study, Idaho lost more than a third of its OBs—94 of 268 total—afterwards.

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes.

Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items.

If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.
