I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

Kaine: "We had to pry with a crowbar after weeks and weeks out of the administration the supposed rationale for the strikes in international waters. It was very shoddy. It was not at all persuasive that these are legal actions ... It's time for Congress to rein in the president."

I think the powers that be haven't quite understood the depth of feeling the public has about the #EpsteinFiles.

We're ready to throw hands.

We're ready to swing hammers.

We are ready to set light to the whole edifice of faux-propriety that's been used to protect powerful perverts all this time.

The Republican chairs of both the House and Senate Armed Services committees signed a letter yesterday stating that they requested specific info many weeks ago on these strikes and the WH & Pentagon have refused to provide it. If the story is fake news, then turn everything over.

If someone with a spine wrote it:

Trump Pardons a Drug Trafficker While Threatening Venezuela. A Masterclass in Hypocrisy and Corruption

In less than a day he veered from chest-thumping about drug trafficking to quietly freeing one of its players, a contradiction so blatant it borders on parody.

We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work.

This could almost be a genius comedy skit, except for the fact they are achingly charmless and just fucking boring.

Just so desperate to be victims.

It's sad, really.
Hilarious video by a South African knobhead desperately willing a pleasant London street to be a war zone. Nearest he gets to danger is a woman telling him to stop talking nonsense.

The consultant group chat has descended into cat pics and stories, and honestly, this may be the highlight of my career so far.

"But Farbod, what about all those people whose lives you've saved?"

Someone needs to tell the cosplay hard-man in the Secretary of Defense’s chair that barking “kill them all” doesn’t magically turn murder into foreign policy.

I preferred it when Rod Stewart sung
lovely songs such as ‘Sailing,’
‘Mull of Kintyre’ and ‘Margaret May.’
Now he’s become all radicalised, wallpapering his rooms in animal skin and sending back his gongs.

Someone said I “must be a capitalist” because I pointed out the damage Brexit has done to the UK’s economy and reputation.

Buddy, I work in the NHS.

If I were any less capitalist, I’d photosynthesise.

The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike.

Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.

This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important
