IDF soldiers bought as much shame on Israel as ever HAMAS did on Gaza. More because they had a choice at every stage of their lives. Gazans under the age of 58 were ALL born in a prison, their food, water and fuel limited by Israel deliberately to prevent any real development. They have no excuse

You’d think Farage believes Brexit is the best thing to happen to Britain. But the Kremlin r🐀t’s Freudian slip showed his real preferences - the first country that came to his mind as benefiting from Brexit was Russia.

DHS crossed the line drawn by the Hatch Act when it directed airports to air a political attack video blaming Democrats for TSA workers’ lost paychecks. What occurred was not communication; it was coercion.

We’re suing the Social Security Administration for refusing to release records on widespread disruptions to essential benefits.

The gov't must be held accountable for degrading access to resources that 74 million Americans, especially seniors and people with disabilities, are entitled to.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

The real blockers are the water profiteers – and Labour won’t touch them because it’s in bed with the lobbyists.

Ex-MPs like Angela Smith went from defending water firms to working for them. Current ministers have backgrounds in water lobbying.

Who do you think you’re fooling?

National renewal means more homes, more jobs, and more money back in working people's pockets.
But to get there, we need to take on the blockers…

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️
