The UK was suckered into Brexit by foreign actors and is now paying the severe consequences as suckers always do.

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Snoozing sitting up. Drooling.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

They are lawless bestial scum.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. He has brought the office down so low in such a short time. Other presidents have tried but none have come close to this.

Donald Trump orders purported Venezuelan drug boats blown up, yet pardons a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking. Try to make sense of this.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

It was hard to imagine how Steve Witkoff’s credibility could fall any further - but having Putin publicly defend him against charges of pro-Russian bias is admittedly a pretty spectacular new low

Incredible, the former Sunday host on Fox, Hegseth, is now in charge of the most powerful army, two million soldiers, with a budget exceeding 800 billion each year. His incompetence is slowly, methodically, but surely dismantling the Pentagon.

Trump just declared Venezuelan airspace “closed” and is now teasing strikes “very soon.” This isn’t foreign policy it’s a countdown to another reckless war.
Buckle up: he’s itching to light a match in Venezuela to look “strong”!

Florida did not just shift right. It fused political power with a religious movement that believes it is mandated to dominate culture, law, education, and government. This is not normal politics. It is a theocratic project taking state power. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ProudBlue #USDemocracy

Daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. Hold him and everyone involved accountable.

The survivors deserve justice.
The public deserves answers.
The predators deserve consequences.

Stand with survivors, not perpetrators.

Die Staatsorgane machen bislang kein AfD-Verbotsverfahren, haben keine wirkliche Strategie gegen Angriffe auf die Demokratie - dann muss es aber auch der demokratischen Zivilgesellschaft möglich sein, Protest wirksam und hörbar auf die Straße zu bringen. #Gießen

WOLFERS: “When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.” #MedicareForAllNOW
