Meeting Putin in Hungary, of all places? Hosted by the EU's most Putin-sympathetic leader? In the country with Europe's worst case of democratic backsliding? The one who hosted CPAC and did the keynote at CPAC in the US, broadcasting transnational anti-democracy solidarity? That's quite the message.

If you think the problem in this city is that my rent is too low, vote for Andrew Cuomo. If you know the problem in this city is that your rent is too high, vote for me.

That £900k house in Frinton. Has anyone mentioned how it was paid for yet? Any laws broken, or all above board? Anyone investigating? Media grown a conscience? Any journalist working for the British people? Anyone? Half way through another week of silence then.

BREAKING: Equinor has admitted that the massive Rosebank oil and gas field in the UK would cause vast climate damage. *Pretends to be shocked* 😲 The UK government must STOP Rosebank, and instead focus on creating jobs in North Sea renewables!

When I ran a coal plant we kept 7 - 14 days of coal in the pile to accommodate rail volatility. When we got below 3 we started curtailment planning to ensure critical loads were served. Anyway, please tell me more about how PV can’t work because it requires overnight on-sight energy storage.

If you asked people what the worst one-year period in recent American history was, it’s a good bet that many would choose roughly between January 2020 and January 2021.

It's pretty bonkers that the British press would bring up Jeremy Corbyn appearing on Russia Today a couple of times in the early 2000s at every opportunity, yet the Welsh leader of Reform literally pled guilty to taking money directly from the Kremlin and... Farage gets to shrug it away.

One of the few presidents to increase seats in mid-terms, due to the sound economy “stupid”. Impeachmemt was seen as partisan. Democrats won five seats in the House and held onto the Senate. Only second time in history that the usual mid‑term loss pattern for the president’s party was broken.
