It took this dude one year to put “Nixon in the middle of Watergate” numbers on the board.

In some ways he’s a generational talent at the peak of his game.

Well let's see how this strategy of telling "white liberals" to "fuck right off" works out in the local elections

Still absolutely boggles my mind that Mandelson (or anyone else) imagined for a second that he could be both US ambassador and Oxford chancellor. Quite apart from issues of scheduling and location, the conflicts of interest are just obvious.

Sticky one for Mr Process, this.

Great statistical news for Starmer and Reeves as more young people give up on trying to support themselves because there are no jobs

‘just how central was Peter Mandelson to the Starmer project’ is a question that is becoming increasingly close to being permissible, and I think Starmer is 100% done once it starts being asked

The press is intent on whitewashing Republican agency out of everything.

There is always some magical line or phrase in these screeds. The golden line here is “a tough one it was” - glitching for some reason into the diction of a 1920s Northumberland sheep-shearer

In, Twist, Out, as they say in bayonet drill.

Hell yeah

try imagining government policy toward higher education as if it were any other industry. "Government plans aviation export cuts of 30%" "Government bans foreign licensing of football broadcast" it would be insane

By which time it will have been going brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp for 53 years!

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Historic, world altering cowardice from the hollow men running the Congress.

It was clear Israel was going for The Big One with Iran. Yes, Trump is particularly stupid and malleable, but Biden was also very stupid and malleable. If Israel started the war as it did in June, and Netanyahu begged Biden for help, does anyone seriously believe Biden would say no?
