Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Nigel Farage's favoured Mayoral candidate for Doncaster said black people cannot be English.

Reform councillor Alexander Jones claimed being English requires Anglo-Saxon ‘lineage’.

Federal immigration cops are using "wellness checks" on minors as a ruse to get into homes and arrest people for alleged immigration violations. In this case, an alleged check on a 17-year-old let them arrest his 22-year-old brother, who was brought here at 11 and has protected status.

In important news from history today, it is (although I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you) the joyful 10th birthday of this unimprovable tweet
A tweet from R J Balson saying they’ve won the service to sausages award 2015 at the House of Lords, with a picture of a man in a suit looking either serious or utterly appalled to be holding an award which is supposed to be a sausage with a face, a smile, a bow tie, and folded arms, but in fact looks like a cock

"Why not use a wealth tax" mainly because it won't work. The mega rich employ expensive accountants to make them look poor as church mice. That private jet, it's owned by some chain of shell companies. That mansion, it’s an Air BnB owned by a different chain, and that fancy car, it’s an Uber ...

Hugely concerning that govt is considering slashing funding for desperately needed home insulation to cut bills in the short term. It’s vital to protect the Warm Homes Plan for long term investment to fix poor housing. Why not use a wealth tax to cut energy bills instead, Rachel?

I am continuing to work on the SNAP crisis and our community's response to it. To say that the situation has been extremely fluid would be an understatement, we are dealing with deliberate chaos.

If you are waiting to hear from me, I will get to you — I promise.

The story was about a brave Muslim hero who saved countless from a mad Brit with a knife.

Not a story the offshore billionaires want on the front page of their papers…

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.
