We have a depraved,rogue President who has no boundaries and the GOP IS TOO COWARDLY to put up guardrails like Gen. Milley and Gen. Kelly did. The criminals running our country are now totally okay with our troops dying in an illegal and forever war. Immigrants are dying in our concentration camps.

Girl, 6, Fatally Shot by Unsecured Gun While Left Alone in Car with Other Children A Detroit girl, 6, was fatally shot in the head while left unattended in a car with an unsecured gun on Monday, March 2. The girl was alone with four other children as her mother went to get food. It'...

A six-year-old girl was fatally shot in the head while left unattended in a car in Michigan. Four other children under the age of 12 were in the car with her.

No child should ever have access to an unsecured gun. This never should have happened.

Almost nobody in the media reported on the former Tory Government's sweeping power grab of the electoral commission. This week Labour have announced that they will reverse what Boris Johnson did and return the commission to independence.

Ofcourse Labour will get absolutely no credit for doing this

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

Tell Congress: Demand AG Bondi release ALL of the Epstein files now Contact Congress today!

🚩 House Oversight just voted 24-19 to SUBPOENA AG Pam Bondi over her half-baked Epstein files release.

Key docs still hidden.
Redactions everywhere.
Powerful names protected.

Enough is enough.

Tell Congress: FORCE Bondi to release EVERY unredacted file NOW. No more cover-ups! πŸ”₯

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: β€œA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said β€œwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said β€œmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

This war on Iran is a case study in an administration that believes it has the means - and therefore the moral authority - to do whatever it wants.

It could have assembled a case, enlisted allies, stuck to a script.

But it can't be bothered, because it feels that to all be unnecessary.

Even people with to *undiluted* levels of incompetence don’t get fired from the second Trump administration.

Inspectors General must be independent & nonpartisan. Reports say DOL IG Anthony D’Esposito plans to run for Congress. I asked if he’s running or doing campaign activity while serving as IG. He refused to answer. That is concerning given reports he put his mistress and fiancee’s daughter on payroll.

Phoney President fights a phoney war on behalf of a phoney foreign country. Dullard Donny duped into a World war because he hasn't the mental capacity nor the intelligence to comprehend what he’s doing. He’s insane.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
