Kash was asked if he has ever been drunk on the job, and instead of saying no, he goes "I can say unequivocally that I never listen to the fake news mafia."

So much commentary assuming the Houthis would just do what Tehran wants has overestimated their commitment to the Iranian regime's ideological project.

BREAKING: DOJ announces charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center based on allegations of paid informants in an indictment in the Middle District of Alabama.

"This investigation is very much ongoing," FBI Director Kash Patel said.

It is one of the counterintuitive things about ai that it doesn't operate like Google search used to. It invents cases and articles that it thinks ought to exist, and puts them into lists of real things, making it hard to spot.

Can I just say that if Reform get in, the idea of anyone being vetted for anything will not exist. And we'll all scream that they are criminals.. but no one will do a thing.

Trump still cannot agree the conditions of this unconditional surrender.

Or it would somewhat hinder their argument if it did? Please, my beef, its very poorly..

🤣

In fairness the 'my poor Northern relatives' is elite level trolling!

Fuck off.

Well, at least they haven't killed him in a car crash. Yet. :-) #TheArchers

Well, that must be getting on for thirty years ago, but it does at least give Kirsty the child she's craved? #TheArchers

I'm suddenly irrationally worried about Erik not returning Kirsty's calls. If the SWs have decided to 'do a Mark Hebden' I will be cross. #TheArchers

There’s a real “there’s a hole in my bucket” vibe to Trump extending a ceasefire because the regime he fragmented is, well, fragmented.

I remain if the view that they are the creation of a group of journalists and don't in fact exist and those journos are now monetising their creation

WWI Combat: 53,402 deaths
WWI Flu: 45,000 deaths

Pete Hegseth: “Let’s make the flu a threat again!”

Apparently, “readiness” now means making our troops as vulnerable as they were in 1918. Bold move.

He gone and TACO'd again on Iran. Great Negotiator, my ass.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Challenge 25 isn't legislatively mandated, but it certainly what's described as a 'core condition' lots of LA's (now being the administrative authority) require as a matter of choice or, perhaps, by regulations, by DCMS?

Not bothered by people who want Starmer to go. I agree. My reasons are selfishly practical - he lacks the vision and charisma to lead the UK through impossibly challenging times. What bothers me is when people cosplay moral outrage to not just oust, but destroy him, because it gives them a thrill.
