That's an astonishing anecdote.
It's been another amazing Opposites Day in the United States.
Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.
Weβre barely a week into Trumpβs war and already his family has found a way to cash in.
Everything is for sale.
βCutting taxes means putting them up lessβ
βMy name wasnβt on the leafletβ

The compliance of the UK media with the far right is an utter disgrace
Farage is pitiful.
βI never said thatβ
βA tax cut can be not putting taxes upβ
βI didnβt put it on the leafletsβ
Oh ffs. You said it. You didnβt do it. And now youβre lying and blaming someone else. Same as you always do.
If only our media were significantly better at pointing that out.
Islamist jihadists will using this clip of Trump for propaganda recruitment for the next half a century.
This is the most blasΓ© admission of a war crime by a US president in history.
Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.
The day President Trump announced his assault on Iran, a company that tracks data on crypto transactions posted a message on X: βSix suspected insiders made $1.2M betting on a US strike on Iran.β newyorkermag.visitlink.me/NwNrpQ
That's a quote for the ages

Bring major streaming services into line with TV rules on harmful content. Using powers in the Media Act 2024, we will apply a new Standards Code to mainstream video-on-demand services so they are subject to similar rules on hate speech and material that could incite crime or disorder. Ofcom will consult on the detail of the Code in 2026.

"Nobody else has voting by mail."
34 countries have voting by mail.
Only the most vulnerable.
Indeed it is. So why has it taken so long for ANYONE with power or influence to say so?
It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harmβs way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.
Of course. She will bark at Starmer from her script & demonstrate how utterly out of her depth she is. Badenoch has absolutely no gravitas or ability to respond to the seriousness of the occasion in a patriotic, serious way.
Rachel Reeves has announced that the energy price cap WON'T be raised in April. Clearly Labour have decided to protect consumers and let the energy companies eat the increased costs. π
That is fantastic news! Labour protecting working people.
You wonder if Allison has any friends ...

Hilariously Elon Musk himself said in 2022, one of the first things he'd do when he bought it was to get rid of the bots.
Then he added billions more and even verified the bots, and even showed you he was using a racist AI called Grok (MechaHitler) to run the bots heaping endless praise on himself.

Tories are just negative about everything.
Oppose everything.
Complain about everything.
Pretend they are not responsible for all the failings they caysed from their 14 years in government.
They have short memories & think we do too.
But Communities Secretary put them straight!
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, thatβs treason.
