Food photog Francesca CAN’T fall for her client. Sure, Luca’s a legit snack but also part of a celeb couple the world adores. After feelings boil over, Luca reveals it’s a fauxmance. Too bad undoing a fake dating contract is FAR harder than setting one up. #questpit #r #romcom #amquerying

It says a lot about where we're going that the BBC is now running stories in which they ask lifeboat crews whether they will apologise for using their boats to save lives

He has no idea and doesn’t care. He just wants the tax cuts and then declare victory. Little else matters to him.

After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered. I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.

Read my full statement on the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites below.
“It is Congress’ Constitutional responsibility to debate and approve any use of military force. This is why I called on Speaker Johnson last week to reconvene the U.S. House of Representatives, and I am calling on him once again to call us back into session now. Members must be briefed immediately on the evolving situation in the Middle East so we can fulfill our Constitutional responsibilities.”

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

It's amazing that any American women are willing to have intercourse at all, there is no 100% guaranteed contraceptive and the stakes just seem far too high to take that gamble. Even those who want to get pregnant have to consider the reality if something goes tragically wrong with the foetus.

This is completely wrong. I've lived in Europe. They don't want our cars because: 1. Too big for roads and parking spaces 2. Too fuel inefficient in countries where gas is $6/gallon 3. Considered low quality for the cost

Just six years after his Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered, at MBS’s direction, Jeff Bezos is going into business—and, thus, helping to enrich—the man who orchestrated it. My latest for @status.news www.status.news/p/jeff-bezos...

Jeff Bezos Abandons Khashoggi to Cut Deal With MBS
Jeff Bezos once mourned Jamal Khashoggi—now he's making billion-dollar deals with his executioner, revealing more about his values than any vigil ever could.

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

So Eurovision is gonna need to have a VERY REAL conversation internally about what to do about a certain country that has phone banked two years in a row because of politics, right? This year was a near miss that could have killed the event. Christ that would have been bad.

Israel send propaganda songs too. They shouldn't be there ,they are committing genocide. Russia is not there because they are bombing civilians in Ukraine. Israel should not be participating in the competition and shouldn't be sponsors either.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

I see a lot of people calling Reform voters stupid and I don’t think that is helpful at all. We have to remember that post-industrial communities in the North East have been failed by both main parties and left to decline for decades. It’s why they voted for Brexit and why they voted Reform.
