All orders signed by Trump should be reversed because he’s not in his right mind. His name should be stricken from American history.

Interesting take on where the US “poverty line” really is.
Maybe another way to think of it is as the "participation line" - the income one needs to fully participate in expected aspects of US life without worrying about plunging into deprivation one way or another

An investor called $140,000 the new poverty line. Experts disagreed but said he had a point.
Michael Green’s tally of the costs of raising a family in the U.S. today is going viral, even if some economists scoff at his math.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Still gonny skate the next Holyrood elections though.
John Swinney's first budget as first minister removed free bus passes for people seeking asylum meaning none of them are going anywhere they can't walk to.
The SNP-Green Glasgow council complains too many people granted asylum move here.
Fortunately he can get a photo taken with some kids.

If he’s being totally honest, I suspect Farage would be first choice.

Most voters don’t want Nigel Farage to become Prime Minister. But “it doesn’t really matter” to John Swinney. Quite a telling admission.

He clearly doesn’t understand basic constitutional terms.
FACT: Westminster and Holyrood are parliaments and the governments in each are the current administrations.
FACT: Holyrood is a recognised parliament, just like Westminster, with its own recognised government acting as its administration.

The last time America hosted a men’s World Cup, in 1994, purists sniffed that it wasn’t a proper footballing country—they had a point. But in 2026 things will look different
America is now the biggest market for international football
As well as co-hosting the World Cup in 2026, more and more people in America are watching soccer, and spending on football media rights is rising

It's very far down her list of problems, but there is a reason why every successful party leader has another politician do most of the attack stuff, even when the attack messaging is popular. People agree with the sentiment but they also think the message carrier is a tool.
