Why does this ridiculous, stupid, coke-addled nepo-baby of a nepo-baby brat have any say in U.S. foreign policy? What foolish, horrifying times we live in.

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

The problem with Streeting (aside from all the other problems with Streeting) is that he appears to want to be PM purely for the fact of being PM as a win & of in itself. It’s hard to detect any kind of sincere ideology, or even ideas really, other than whatever he thinks will get him there.
I was talking to a Labour MP the other day who said it would be easier to get behind Wes if he could just mask his ambition a little bit...
Tell me you’re positioning for a leadership bid without telling me :….Taxes too high as opposed to poorly structured?

Whipple: Wiles thought she was talking to someone who would give her a fair shake. And I did give her a fair shake. But the problem is, when you’re in that bubble, you wouldn’t recognize fair treatment when you see it—because crazy is crazy when you’re in that bubble.

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.
Will Jordan release the video to the public?
If not, why not?

A few quick thoughts about this morning's decision. Don't believe the spin from various Russians & others: it's a big deal. The EU has now unambiguously demonstrated that it is able and willing to provide the external financial support Ukraine needs, for as long and as much as it takes. (1/N)

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.
This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.
The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.
Release the files. Immediately.

I'm sure none of us sitting on our laptops can truly appreciate the daily hell these soldiers go thru 24/7! NATO countries still haven't woken up to the fact there's a war raging +/- 3 hrs as the crow flies

Two Ukrainian Defenders from Varash - call signs "Tequila" and "Chef" - held a position near Pokrovsk in Donetsk region for over 160 days. In addition to observation and reconnaissance, they provided support to brothers-in-arms who were evacuated after being wounded.

Don't stop talking about the hunger strikers. The government treatment of them should be an enormous national scandal
"Some of them have been on hunger strike for 48 days"
Well done to @adilray.bsky.social for covering the Palestine hunger strikers and reading out their names on #GMB.

NEW ANALYSIS: Electric vehicles are entering the mid-transition space starting to replace ICE vehicles.
History shows that shifts like this can happen faster than expected: in the early 20th-century US, horses and mules virtually vanished from roads in under 30 years.
