“Trump invaded Venezuela, kidnapped its president, stole a bunch of its oil, sold it, and stashed the money in banks in Qatar” is a stone-cold CLASSIC of this genre
The stuff in the GOP bill is some of the clearest ever examples of "if you explain what Republicans are doing in straightforward factual terms an otherwise under-informed normie will think you have entirely lost your mind and can't be trusted"

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you have accomplished thus far in 2026 is reading several books, drinking multiple pots of tea, and consuming a scandalous amount of chocolate croissants, then you have accomplished more than enough.

I think there's merit to holding by-elections when an elected MP changes parties. It's a party's platform they campaigned on. The whip system ensures they vote accordingly. When they join another party, that's another platform, another set of policies. Voters should get a new say.

Trump has a ten-month plan to ensure further elections are impossible.
It's *not even halfway through January* and his paramilitary is occupying a city and killing protesters as he prepares to invoke the Insurrection Act and floats canceling elections.
Wake up: fascism is here.

He says he has “definitely no regrets whatsoever,” adding: “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” wapo.st/4sG38CD
