I'm suing to block the Trump administration's illegal new tariffs and uphold the law.

The U.S. Supreme Court already ruled that this administration can’t impose massive new tariffs on a whim.

The administration can’t ignore the law and hurt consumers and small businesses.

Yesterday it was The Economist hyping Gavin Newsom, today it's Rupert Murdoch's WSJ fluffing Rahm Emanuel.

The "respectable" right-wing propaganda complex is working VERY hard to promote centrist Dems.

It’s not enough.

Luke Akehurst was parachuted here from Oxford and every fucking day acts like he's an emissary to the Scum Realm and has to talk in racist screeds to get our votes.

Fuck this tourist cunt.

Luke Akehurst @lukeakehurst •3h Looking forward to hearing what the magic Green strategy is for getting to 326 seats, as like Labour they would need to win the votes of white working class voters in Red Wall seats who are concerned about immigration, and traditional Con vs Lab swing voters. George Eaton @georgeeaton•8h Green surge was inevitable now the "wasted vote" argument no longer holds. Labour will need to offer positive reasons to think again rather than simply saying Greens couldn't win an election.

It’s so gratifying watching this beet-faced pig smugly deploy the same circular logic that’s sending him and his entire party of dogs swirling down the drain

genuinely what the fuck is this outfit and why is nobody on the news asking her why she's cutting about dressed like an SS officer

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

It really is the vampires mad you won't invite them in so they can bite you.

DOJ admits 47,635 Epstein files — including Trump allegations — were removed Justice Department expects to restore missing documents that were taken offline for review

"Cornyn is a cardboard box filled with Senate leadership PAC money, and Ken Paxton is a feral raccoon with nothing to lose."

Of all the horrible, corrupt and incompetent things Kristi Noem has done that would get any other Cabinet secretary fired, the thing that now seems likely to result in her termination is the unpardonable MAGA sin of blaming Trump for her corruption when she got caught.

DOJ is trying to convince a judge that RFK Jr.'s decisions are untouchable "Totally unreviewable" is how the Trump administration apparently views Kennedy's actions as health secretary.

A lawyer for the Justice Department argued on Wednesday that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine decisions are protected from legal scrutiny.

So much so that the Trump administration appears to believe that Kennedy’s actions are “totally unreviewable."

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement.

I think this is Israel.

I'm old enough to remember that the notion of "conflict between the government and the [Catholic] clergy” was a crisis of the government violating the religious freedom rights of Catholics (see, e.g., Affordable Care Act contraception coverage requirement, Hyde Amendment issues, etc.)

An ibm slide from 1979 which says in black text on white background “a computer can never be held accountable therefore a computer must never make a management decision”

Sadly relevant, still:

This sounds like an ad, but it's about murder.

Hegseth Brags About “Death and Destruction” Raining Down in Iran Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held a shocking press conference on day five of the war on Iran.

Incredibly disturbing. A cabal of radicalised, white supremacist, Christian fundamentalist MAGA ‘clerics’ has been casting around for legitimate reasons for this war on their Iranian counterparts but it boils down to the satisfaction of smiting perceived enemies.

The most amazing thing about the latest GOP Nazi group chat story is that the ending is *exactly the same* as the ending of a different story by a different publication about an entirely different GOP Nazi group chat!
