This shows the gap between GOP & Dem. messaging. The Republicans NEVER stop pressing their false narratives. They bang the drums over & over. The Dems make their case & move on. They should have been non-stop pummeling Trump for Covid (and 1/6) for years, never letting anyone forget these sins.

Barclays Bank is Europe's biggest funder of fossil fuels. Pushing climate change, El nino, crop failures, hunger as profit opportunity, urging investors to speculate on price of food, fertilizer, commodities. Prices and food bills will rise. Profiting from destruction that banks financed.

Way more than enough evidence in these papers not only to get Comey’s charges 86’d before trial in federal district court, but also to get Blanche—and Trump—86’d at an impeachment trial in the Senate.
Carol Leonnig: Pat Fitzgerald cites some very bad facts re the prosecution of James Comey :  
Secret Service agents acknowledged #3 DOJ official ordered them to surveil Comey and they felt it was likely illegal. Agents also gave Trump updates on the case on AF1 at his instruction.

Their representatives are all Bond villain caricatures. Look at the reactions from other so-called democracies; they are appeasing and allowing US imperialism to sacrifice their own countries' sovereignty to bow down to the US hegemon.

One party is missing from Flint's network: the Greens. Zack Polanski called it out immediately, demanding full disclosure. The Greens oppose freeports, SEZs, post-Brexit state aid exploitation, and deregulatory zone architecture. Their position is the coherent one. No seat at Flint's table.

Mike Levin: It should be a much bigger story that JD Vance flew to Hungary, stood on a campaign stage, and told voters to return a head of government widely documented for human rights abuses and democratic backsliding.

Then, after his candidate lost, Vance said what had happened during the Hungarian campaign was “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I’ve ever seen or ever even read about.”

Was he describing himself?

Fracking is currently not permitted in the UK. But oil + gas extraction using under 1000 cubic metres of liquid is not deemed to be fracking, so still permissable. Now, analysis finds earthquakes can occur when using amounts of liquid well below this threshold: drillordrop.com/2026/04/09/l...

This loophole in the present legislation needs to be closed. A ban on fracking needs to be a ban on fracking. My hope is that the Energy Independence bill will provide an opportunity to bring forward an amendment to try and close this loophole.

Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons
Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made he’s blowing up the whole country with “very little” off the table. 

"If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,” he said.

I asked if there’s anything off limits.

“Very little,” he said.
