Why is no-one calling the #WhiteHouse the #ShiteHouse?

Couldn't agree more (except maybe for Ray Davies). I saw him a few years ago at the O2 in London. Such, a great night, just banger after banger.

The silence of the Westminster lobby as one of their own backs calls for me — an elected Member of Parliament — to be deported is telling.

No condemnation, just bootlicking of their proprietors and jostling for Zone 2 dinner party invites.

Our media class is rotten to the core.

Now imagine if armed, masked men were hunting you and your family like animals.

To be unaware of one thing you don't wish to talk about is convenient.

To be unaware of *everything* you don't wish to talk about is either lying or incompetence. Or both.

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Prince Andrew has been stripped of all his royal titles.

Exerts from Virginia Guthrie’s memoir, detailing her abuse by Andrew, played a role in his downfall. Tragically, she committed suicide last April.

It’s on all of us to make sure the other Epstein survivors get justice before it’s too late.

"Why you running?"
I mean, it's pretty damn obvious, isn't it? Cos I've got a masked man with a gun behind me.
Ye gods.

🚨 I do not know when or where, but it doesn’t matter. This is depravity. This is a child. Those are state employed monsters. There is nothing normal about being “okay” with doing this job. 1/2

Speaker Johnson claims immigrants are a HUGE drain on Medicaid…‘Look it up!’ Challenge accepted!

Jen Psaki did just that. An AMA study found the undocumented accounted for only .4% of total Medicaid spending.

Is that worth a #govermentshutdown? Or does the GOP have other motives? #DemsAbroad #ACA

“Go home”? The Ukrainians already *are* home. This war stops overnight if the Russians, and the Russians alone, go home.
