Every detail about this story is absolutely insane but even in its broadest sense it is wild that a guy known for collaborating with white nationalists, promoting Pizzagate, spreading foreign state disinformation -- the list goes on and on -- is acting as a henchman for Pentagon officials.
We discovered a Goodreads page linked to the email address of a top Pentagon official featuring pornographic books about “Asian wife sharing.”

The story gets wilder from there.
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

I welcome the decision of the Council on our proposal to continue the immobilisation of Russian Sovereign Assets.

We are sending a strong signal to Russia that as long as this brutal war of aggression continues, Russia’s costs will continue to rise.

Another defection from the Tories to Reform U.K. Ltd

We’re now up to 22 ex-Tory MPs joining reform.

Reform really is becoming just the Turquoise Tories.
#TurquoiseTories

Booted out by voters in GE 2024, they think they can slide back in under Reform U.K. 🤷‍♂️

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

“Russia has brought war back to Europe, and we must be prepared.”

There’s a thin line between “never again” and “we can do it again.”
We mustn’t miss it.

Our grandparents endured those atrocious wars not for the ruscists to stomp over free land again.

A result which both illustrates the magnitude of the Reform threat and the problems with Labour’s “Farage is right, don’t vote for him” response. 37 point Lab to Reform swing. Labour go from first to 4th as anti-Reform vote splits 3 ways. Combined Lab/LD/Grn vote larger than Reform vote.

🔶 LDM: 17.3% (New)
🌹 LAB: 16.8% (-37.1)
🌍 GRN: 9.8% (+3.6)
🙋 Ind: 1.0% (New)

Reform GAIN from Labour.
Changes w/ 2023.

Nigel Farage's open homophobia as he jokes at his brother's wedding: "The good news for us who are smokers is that we are far better off here than if we had been at Michael Barrymore’s house. Because there they removed all the ashtrays on the basis that now they chuck all the fags in the pool."

After days of intense pressure from D.C., the Indiana Senate REJECTED the mid-decade gerrymandered map!

This victory belongs to every Indivisible member, every activist, and every Hoosier who called, emailed, and showed up.
