“Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Mr. Musk himself.”

So far, in less than one year, Donald Trump has issued over TEN TIMES as many pardons as he did in his entire four-year first term. That’s a lot of criminals released onto our streets.

Reform may have hit its ceiling, but in a five-party, first-past-the-post landscape, a ceiling just under 30% could still be enough to win power.

The polls remain close, and the stakes remain high writes Stephen McNair
Odd and incompetent: Reform hits a ceiling
Polls suggest that Reform support may have peaked, perhaps because it appeals only to a very distinctive, and noisy, minority

I've been saying for the better part of a year that Trump is on a mission to decriminalize corruption. To make it the legal equivalent of jaywalking.

I feel that more strongly now than I ever had.

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.

Netanyahu continues to starve and kill the people of Gaza. Putin is pretending to negotiate peace while attacking Ukraine. Trump is randomly killing Venezuelan's. They have no desire for peace. It is how they stay in power. Netanyahu, Trump and Putin are now the leaders of the new axis of evil.
