I continue to warn against complacence. It’s still vitally important that we vote and remain vigilant against Trump’s interference in our elections. But with a little more than four weeks to go before the midterms, I’m breathing a wee bit easier. Here's why...

Nigel Farage has a cheek writing about spending '24 hours a day' in Parliament when he's amongst the five worst absentees, matched only by his absentee record when an MEP, and negligible attendance in his constituency meme via Fibbymcfibface

But Hegseth wants to give troops testosterone injections because that’s what is supposedly needed in our military.

Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

This is one example of how a crowd-control confrontation can develop. Police charges can unfold differently depending on the situation, and a police line may reposition or pull back when the crowd does not respond as expected. STAND YOUR GROUND!

Why is Nigel Farage back on air? Ofcom bans politicians from presenting news programmes, but GB News claims Farage's show is just 'current affairs' despite him using it to defend Reform's £72m in donations. Close the loophole now.

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.

I’m happy for the UK to use the Euro as a condition of rejoining. My worth and patriotism is not dependent on a currency. Those that say otherwise have a fragile identity.
