Maybe I can also add a note to say that I'm finding it extremely sad and disappointing that British politics is so messed up these days.

There's a lot of work that needs picking up after the destruction caused by austerity and Brexit but no-one seems to want to talk about things that really matter.

For no reason at all I thought this quote from Katie Lam MP would work in a different font. I thought I’d add a headline too.

Apropos of nothing in particular. Really, no reason at all.

I thought I'd translate this into contemporary German c1932, when the party was in opposition.

Thank you - to be completely fair, in the 1930s the last paragraph would have been even more aggressive, with more really vile language added to it.

Imagine this being barked at you in a screaming voice that is nearly breaking up.

For a moment I was tempted to add some party symbols to it to improve the illustration, but then thought better of it.

If there is any sanity left in America then Donald Trump leaning in to the No Kings accusations with these dire AI videos should make the #NoKings movement even stronger.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

If the administration has such great evidence that these targets are narcoterrorists who pose an imminent threat to the national security of the United States, why are they not being tried in our criminal courts? 🤔

"The New York Police Department said Saturday afternoon that it had not made any protest-related arrests. The D.C. police also said Saturday afternoon that it had made no protest-related arrests."

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

And we thought that a Tory leader who is confusing Villa with West Ham was bad enough — remember that it can always get worse, much, much worse….

Baked beans can be greatly enhanced with slices of Frankfurter sausages - a game changer from unacceptable to quite delicious, especially if you put some parsley on top.

Even in this place, I feel the sheer scale of foreign aid being demolished isn't fully appreciated. As it stands, it is perhaps *the* most catastrophic change to preventable deaths in our lifetimes, and the salience - even in presumably friendly spaces - is basically zero

ugh. it might give the impression of the actual reasoning behind the decision ,which by the way typically comes w/in inches of finally resolving it. this is a very weak reason for the shadow docket, given its outsize costs to justice and the litigants.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:

I’m keep wondering what the litigation costs of all of these cases will be.
