The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine:

"A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum—he never had those...

Miliband doubles down on net zero - Energy Live News Labour to announce breaking the link between gas and electricity prices and more renewables push

EU to cut Venice Biennale funding over Russia’s participation, Kallas says The Italian art exhibition is set to host Russia for the first time since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Tuesday that the bloc intends to cut funding to the Venice Biennale following a decision by the art exhibition to readmit Russian artists to its 2026 edition.

A black background with orange diagonal corner accents. At the top left, white text reads “Stephen Lawrence Day” with a small orange equal‑sign symbol, and to the right it says “22nd April.” Large central text reads “Proud to support SLD26.” Below, smaller text says “Every future needs a foundation.” At the bottom, orange text reads “stephenlawrenceday.org/donate.”

Today, we remember Stephen Lawrence and honour his memory.

His legacy - the fight for justice that followed - changed our country for the better.

We must continue that work by standing up to racism and striving for a city where everyone is treated with fairness and dignity.

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of
- new account fatigue
- new app fatigue
- useless upgrade fatigue
- terms of service fatigue

If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?

The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned they’d respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.

If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump.

None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.

He’s a bully like his boss. A rich entitled white man who darkens his skin to look more frightening. His goal is always to hurt and frighten women.

She is tired of his shit. Aren’t we all!

Fisherman. We're blowing up fishing boats.

it is very funny how these people are so accustomed to essentially bullying democratic politicians that they meltdown when met with appropriate pushback.

in any case, the process to amend the virginia constitution has multiple stages where, at any point, an amendment can be defeated.

GOOD TO KNOW:
As California Attorney General, Xavier Becerra sued Donald Trump to stop family separation during his first term. As HHS Secretary, he rolled out programs to reunite unaccompanied children with their families.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.

Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.

Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

Virginia voters just handed Democrats another win in the Great Redistricting Wars Trump’s gerrymandering efforts are backfiring.

Trump thought he could steal the midterms by making MAGA minions rig the House maps.

They thought blue states would sit back and do nothing.

We proved them wrong. Thank you to VA Indivisibles and organizers across the commonwealth for this huge win and your commitment to protecting our democracy.

Virginia Democrats Win Redistricting Referendum, Potentially Flipping Four House Seats By turning Trump's own redistricting gamble against him, Virginia just changed the math on Congress.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.

yiiiikes

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on federal fraud charges Todd Blanche announces 11-count indictment over payments to informants in extremist groups including Ku Klux Klan

So, first the Trump DOJ diverts law enforcement resources away from monitoring white supremacist extremism. And then targets one of the organizations most committed to monitoring the white extremist threat. Message received. Loud and clear.
