Thanks for your vote of confidence…I guess?! Unlike you, I’d actually be focused on the American people—the issues they’re facing, making sure folks have healthcare, and consulting with Congress before dropping bombs on another country.

what these people mean is that they themselves will work hard to paint her as an extreme leftist and sabotage her chances because they prefer being ruled as subjects by Trump and his ghouls to AOC gaining power

They have our business!
The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Pop Crave (@PopCrave
). The tweet reads: "Costco sees a gain in foot traffic for a 13th consecutive week after sticking with its DEL initiatives." Below the text, there is an image of the Costco Wholesale logo, which features the word "COSTCO" in red and "WHOLESALE" in white with blue lines above it, all on a blue background. The Pop Crave logo, consisting of a yellow and orange circle with the text "POP CRAVE," is displayed at the top left of the tweet.

Been in Vietnam for the last month - so different and many fantastic and unexpected experiences - not least , encountering the energy and good humour of the young people. There’s an optimism among them that gives me hope for the country’s future, particularly given their recent history.

Let’s hope that Starmer shows a similar fortitude to Macron in his upcoming meeting with Trump. The ‘special relationship’ should be about more than appeasing the bloated orange one.
