Telegraph continues the pattern of stories about immigration + asylum including graphical information [there are fewer crossings this year] that is not/rarely referred to in the news reports, but is at least available to the reader who can squint
Trump’s ICE started DRC third-country removals last week with 15 people from Latin American countries.
And we sent an Iraqi interpreter who had helped US military to Rwanda last year.
There is no bottom.

RFK Jr no longer disguising his MAHA movement for what it really is: eugenics
Translation:
This deal is about to be exactly like the JCPOA, minus Obama’s signature
RFK... a grifter and a bully. She's having none of his shit.
Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

Alternet: Trump wanted to use US nuclear codes during an emergency meeting, a move blocked by General Dan Caine. Johnson criticized Trump’s mental state, claiming his Iran statements were aimed at manipulating stock prices rather than reflecting reality.

We need a labeler here that lets everyone know.
ACTUALLY WENT TO THE 2026 WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER
Hegseth is a deeply stupid man.

“Parents must realize that refusing vaccinations doesn’t just put your own child at risk. It puts other children” esp. those too young to be vaccinated “at risk….It’s one of the most contagious viruses that exists”
Dead from complications of measles at age ten (she contracted measles at 5 months).
“Medical institutions must educate staff that Long COVID is a disabling condition affecting up to 40% of healthcare workers who contracted and continue to contract COVID-19 while working in hospitals that have failed to control the spread of the virus and other pathogens.”
"The average IQ in Somalia hovers around 70, and that's the threshold for mentally handicapped ... they're a net drain on the society" -- even by MAGA standards, the unvarnished racism of this interview of Rep. Brandon Gill by Benny Johnson is breathtaking
The evidence of insider trading by Trump protégés is obvious and jaw dropping, as is the total indifference of Trump's DOJ and SEC towards these crimes... which appear to be sanctioned by the Trump White House. www.bbc.com/news/article...
I am very much saddened to report that my friend, @nearlylegal.co.uk passed away this weekend.

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

How about we deport all the scroungers that cost the UK so much lost tax revenue...
People like Richard Tice, Robert Jenrick and Nigel Farage for example
More than half of Britons support rejoining EU 10 years on from Brexit vote.
Brexit was secured with lies. It hasn't delivered any of the claimed economic benefits.
Post Trump world will be more polarized.
Nobody under the age of 28 had a say on Brexit.
Need another referendum.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
This is what we need to show anyone who supports Farage and his aim to abandon our tax-funded NHS
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
6 days after Trump made 13 celebratory posts in a hour claiming that Iran surrendered to all his demands and the war is over, he’s back threatening to blow up power plants and bridges.

We are the only western country who did not get or use antivirals.
It doesn't take a forensic accountant to work out whose interests Nigel Farage really serves
My father survived a year with pancreatic cancer but it was a year of terrible suffering. This is very encouraging news.

Now it’s official that Covid is airborne in the Covid inquiry, imagine being high risk with an airborne virus circulating, that the government constantly said wasn’t the case. Imagine trying to protect your family when children with health conditions were denied vaccines for around two years. 🧵

But on a visit to the former railway town last month, the outlook for Sir Keir and his party was bleak. "I'll be voting for Reform - it can't get any worse," said pensioner John Doult, until now a lifelong Labour voter who was among the thousands employed in the town's once-famous car industry. The 86-year-old bemoaned the "terrible" state of the town centre,
“I’ll be voting for Reform - it can’t get any worse”
Oh it really can.
You put a bunch of corrupt, racist, incompetent, lying Trumpists in charge and things will get very much worse.
Potholes and empty shops will feel unimportant compared to the loss of the NHS, social care and a torched economy.
