I'm honestly less mad at the President, who is clearly not well, that I am at his outriders and enablers.

They see messages like this and then, with straight faces, go on television or write op-eds retroactively constructing grand strategy justifications.

Pathetic.

Reform Party candidate defending murder of a protester. When people show you who they are...
🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
1.This is an actual Reform candidate.

2.This is what iCE have been allowed to do

3.This is #Farage’s future ICEUK army

And the media is avidly preparing the country for exactly this.

Some of us warned and warned you. You didn’t believe us. I will be dead by then. Good luck.

As the Supreme Court continues to delay issuing a ruling on tariffs, the Constitution remains as clear as ever. Article 1, Section 8, lists the "enumerated powers" reserved exclusively to Congress, including the power to levy duties (tariffs).

Only Congress, not the President, can set tariffs.

This makes no sense…

An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto…

No thanks

If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote

Sign the petition & help make that law.

Tory MP Andrew Rosindell on £20 extra UC: "I think there are people that quite like getting the extra £20 but maybe they don’t need it."

Andrew Rosindell, on banning MPs from second jobs: “We have to realise we have human beings who have families & responsibilities”

Absolute bastard.

Weird that Reform is announcing the Andrew Rosindell defection without the usual press conference where we get to ask him questions for an hour.

What the United States has done this week is as devastating for the cosy Atlanticist world view, as the Credit Crunch was for those who comfortably believed that left to themselves markets tended towards equilibrium.

In other words: a serious conceptual rupture.

A world view has died this week.

For this post to be about the United States and not Russia shows that there has been an absolute diplomatic revolution.
I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni.

Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

There was, of course, absolutely nothing to stop these Tories resigning when their own Party was literally in the middle of doing all the things they now claim to be so unhappy about.

Gosh, appeasing a politician who has spent his business career creating and exploiting leverage and reneging on deals on a whim did not work.

Who would have thought?

Minnesota US Attorney’s Office is bracing for a new wave of resignations

Similarly, in the U.K., if we bring in mandatory ID, who do you think will be asked for them?
How much more in your face can it be?

"Why are you asking me for my paperwork?"
"Because of your accent."
"You have an accent too."
"Where were you born sir?"
"Where were you born at?"
"Put your hands behind your back."
