Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin:

"This president is out of control, and Americans are paying the price...This week, we will force the Senate to debate and vote on a war powers resolution, and until this president is reined in, we will continue to force these votes."

Thank you!

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail.

He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French.

While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere.

That is his ‘Patriotism’.

What it's like to see ICE tear gas kids Attendees at a Portland, OR protest describe a vicious, unprovoked and sudden attack

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets.

These are their stories:

Mandelson’s Fifth Column The British government’s business department exists to undermine democracy.

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵

Badenoch's strategic genius on full display here, telling centrist voters to fuck off, including in the 60+ seats the party lost to the Lib Dems, so she can focus on competing with an extreme right party ahead of her in the polls.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Apparently engaging with the EU is all about economics, while also avoiding freedom of movement. Sigh.

Anyone hoping to rejoin has a very very long wait.

Frankly, if you're a rejoiner over 50, I'd suggest taking up stamp collecting or bird watching instead. It'll be more fulfilling.

You’re not telling porky’s are you?

Hundreds of raw sausages fly-tipped near city centre Council leaders have urged people not to fly-tip in the area.

You can’t pork there mate.

James, you’ve got to listen to the piece about someone‘s experience of Gaza leaving Gaza to come to London, on Radio4 now. 4 Months in Gaza, 9.00am 10/12/25.
It’s the best thing I’ve heard about the experience.

Trump to Unveil $12 Billion Bailout for Farmers The financial aid comes as the agriculture sector grapples with the fallout from the president’s tariffs.

1) Impose massive tariffs on China
2) China retaliates by ending its soybean imports
3) Cut deal w/ China so they'll buy our soybeans
4) China buys only 20%, so far, of what it agreed to purchase
5) Offer $12 billion to US farmers so they don't go bankrupt

The current AI bubble is NOT a confidence scheme how dare you call it a confidence scheme don’t you realize if you undermine public confidence in it the whole thing falls apart?

The Davis Downside Dossier David Davis famously said there would be no downsides to Brexit only considerable upsides - so we started recording them.

David Davis said there wouldn't be a single downside to Brexit.

Yorkshire Bylines recorded >2,000 of them from 2021-2024.

Zelenskyy is only being positive to the "peace" plan because he knows the Russians will say no, and he needs Trump's good will to get intel and guns. Russians like the peace process because they use it to stall western support for Ukraine so that Ukraine will be easier to destroy later.

At PMQs, Starmer avoided answering a question from Ed Davey, about whether the government would act to stop gambling companies shifting profits offshore to avoid UK tax. Davey said that online gambling firms are taking record revenues of over £7bn per year.
