Turn on Radio 4 and it’s what sounds like Matthew Goodwin explaining in folksy terms why Christian Nationalism is great, and very reasonable

It’s wild how quickly the Overton window in British politics has catapulted rightwards

And here I thought his speech tonight was going to be an apology for his Rob Reiner post.

Good grief. What a pathetic baby.
Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

I don’t know, maybe it wasn’t the best idea to appoint a right-wing conspiracy theorist nut job podcaster as deputy director of the FBI.

After that speech, I think it is more important than ever that we see a real medical report and learn what medications he is on

The interview was recorded, as most good journalists will do. Fake news hides the crimes and truth from the people; they don't expose it.

Fox is a prime example of Fake News and the White House Press person is just another example of Fake News and Projection.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

Ben Howlett is an ex-Tory MP, owner of influential PoliticsUK account, and the fixer we exposed selling access to Westminster

Turns out he's also involved in Labour fundraising, and discussing donations with Labour MPs

Rob Reiner religion note: One of his last film projects was “God & Country,” a documentary released last year based on Katherine Stewart’s book.

The film turned a critical lens toward Christian nationalism.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.
