NEWS: White House is *eliminating* protections for gov’t workers who blow the whistle about illegal acts, per Reuters
Translation: Trump can fire federal employees who point out that he’s broken the law.
That’s pretty damn dark.

I wouldn’t limit that statement to “I don’t have any friends.” You have no morals, no one likes you, and no one is going to vote for you for governor.

Reform UK has presented their latest plan for the UK - and I’m afraid the crayons were working overtime.
£25bn of imaginary savings, treaty breaches, punishment rhetoric and a health calculation method that made me roll my eyes so hard I nearly lost consciousness.
So, nothing new, really.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Federal court blocks new Texas congressional map for 2026
The decision is a major blow for Republicans, in Texas and nationally, who pushed through this unusual mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump.

This can't really be shared enough. Memorise the detail, tell people who need to know.
“How many refugees have been granted asylum in the UK?”
Most people overestimate the number - by a lot. With far-right figures spreading misinformation, it’s hard for the public to know the truth.
Watch the video to see just how wide the gap is between perception and reality.
