Trump on demolishing the East Wing: "After really a tremendous amount of study with some of the best architects in the world, we determined that really knocking it down, trying to use a little section. The East Wing was not much. There was not much left from the original."

Q: Your response to people who say you haven't been transparent enough about demolishing the East Wing?

TRUMP: I haven't been transparent? Really? I showed this to everybody that would listen. 3rd rate reporters didn't see it because they didn't look. You're a third rate reporter. Always have been

Oklahoma has spent the past few years reshaping public schools to integrate lessons about Jesus and encourage pride about America’s history, with political leaders and legislators working their way through the conservative agenda for overhauling education.

Let’s call it what it is: murder
A tweet from Jessica Tarlov says: “The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers... The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.” Below is a screenshot from Fox News’ The Five showing Tarlov speaking on-air, with a chyron reading “TRUMP VS NARCOS – PRESIDENT RAMPS UP STRIKES AGAINST TRAFFICKERS.”

The government shutdown is now the second-longest on record, with little urgency from Democrats and Republicans to strike a deal. How does this all end?
America’s government shutdown is its weirdest yet
It is oddly tolerable for Democrats and Republicans, at least for now

The government shutdown is now the second-longest in U.S. history. Tomorrow, Jay Kuo breaks down the politics, the pressure points, and the polling. And yesterday, Todd Beeton looked at how Trump’s MAGA movement is running out of ways to stoke fear of the left.
This Week In The Big Picture
On October 1, the federal government partially shut down after Trump and Republicans failed to negotiate with Democrats to extend Obamacare premium subsidies and repeal their impending Medicaid cuts.

The great novelist and humanist Doris Lessing, born #onthisday, 1919. Her legacy is one of immense literary achievement, as well as a perpetual willingness to confront and challenge prevailing dogmas, whether political, social, or religious.

This calm, cool decency is dangerously absent from our discourse at the moment. Almost everyone is embracing, normalising or ignoring the 'cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.'
We need more Bertrands.

I confidently predict that people who profess to be outraged by, say, the removal or destruction of statues honouring slavers and other racists because "history something tradition something something" will be completely silent about this abomination.

‘Crackers’ is a very kind way to describe these deeply immoral and fascist manoeuvrings by the Tory party. They have lost their minds. Driven mad by their own prejudice and failure. We have to make sure that this particular brand never sees power again.

The draft legislation is crackers. It would fail immediately if we stayed in the ECHR but it disappears the human rights act. if passed after that it would involve mandatory loss of ILR for up to 400,000 people + refusal of 2-3 million others, though without no credible means to identify or remove

Here Lam explicitly sets out her proposal - which is official Conservative Party policy - to deport long-standing legal permanent residents who have *ever* claimed any benefit, including the state pension or child benefit (even if the child is British), or who earn less than £39K.

George Ryan, aged 23, can be seen at the base of Nelson's column on one of the plinths. He's the "African sailor" and had been pressed into service in Deptford in 1803.

So the RN was no bastion of liberal values. But history is far more interesting than those dullard nationalists will ever know.

All of those people who have spent the last 15 years whining that Obamacare didn't go far enough are about to be reminded how important it is and how hard the struggle was to get it at all.

And none of them will learn a damn thing from being proven wrong yet again. They never do.

Senior Labour figures have expressed dismay at the Party's "cowardly" and "incompetent" response to Tory shadow minister Katie Lam calling for legal migrants to "go home".

"What’s the point of us saying we’re anti-racist when we fail to call out racism," said one MP.
