Them: Hello this is CNN. Up for talking about the NBA betting scandal?

Me: Sure. My take is this all a distraction from Epstein. Also Trump - clearly demented - sees the NBA as an enemy and had the case dropped on opening night to harm the league

Them: We'll talk to the team and get back to you!

Just turned on the TV and saw a headline on CNN : TRUMP's DECADES-LONG FASCINATION WITH BALLROOMS.

Lads, it's all over.

I still see posts from Americans saying “we are on a path to authoritarianism” or “this is some Weimar Germany shit” or “if this continues we risk becoming a fascist state” etc and HELLO,
that was 2021; this is 2025 and YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT YOUR DESTINATION

He's only gone and nailed it again.

Never thought I'd live in a universe in which it seems right to say : Top man, the Pope.

Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

l'll alert him.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Political journalists didn’t set out to become clients of power – they just slipped into it. Half-truths, soft questions and silence bought with access. Read this analysis on how deference has turned to complicity ⤵️

NEW: We need to talk about Russia.

So, yes, that's why we need to talk about Nigel Farage.

My personal newsletter on the story behind the story. Brexit, Trump, Russia & now...Nathan Gill.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Still-life at DUB.

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

Journalists! A key piece of contextual information is often missing from stories like this one - namely, whether or not those quoted voted for Trump.
64.4% of Kentuckians did, and he won all but two counties in the state - they are the authors of their own destiny.

The District Nurse who came to our country school with vaccines was an impressive woman. She knew that peasant superstition might be the death of us all, so she had zero tolerance for any bullshit. I think of her a lot in these anti-vax days.

@declynchwriter.bsky.social "..the right has become extraordinarily good at dragging any debate on to their own territory, at leveraging scraps of drivel into gigantic controversies." Yes! Well said. Can't share the whole article.

It would be due a re-make, except they'd obviously re-make it so that it's not great.

Thanks Claire.

It is a great film.
