If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT. I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

Joseph Schmitt, Acting Deputy Chief of Office of Enforcement Operations, of the DOJ was caught on a hot mic 🔥🎤 “They’ll redact every Republican or conservative in those files and leave all the liberal, Democrat people in those files.” RELEASE ALL THE FILES—UNREDACTED‼️ The victims deserve justice!

This is old school government propaganda. But it was aimed at the same tactics King Yam Tits and his minions (I'm looking at you Stephen Miller, Russell Vought, Pete Hegseth, etc., etc.) are using to divide, antagonize and radicalize Americans against their neighbors. Don't fall for the rhetoric.

Lowe said: "I will be using every tool at my disposal...". Presumably he means the mirror that he looks at to see the utter tool that he is. What a moron. His backpedalling is cringe, but "We received a huge number of urgent complaints from constituents". As an MP he should be made to prove that.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed.

Helsinki has completed 12 months without a single traffic fatality, a milestone credited to lower speed limits, safer infrastructure, and years of consistent planning, officials say.

Only the National in Scotland has covered this today. It’s astounding. Do Muslim women not matter? If the far right call for Burqa bans, they make the front pages. When they try to integrate and face barriers it’s of no interest.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

It's great to see that Labour are playing politics to try and top an embarrassing rebellion rather than listening to disabled people. You know what disabled people want? These cuts gone completely. Stop invoking us and saying you'll "co-produce" when you vote for these DEADLY cuts. No concessions.
