A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.

It’s the Democratic Tea Party, with a twist. trib.al/mC5cBDA

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Heartless Gestapo leader likes locking up kids with secret police. Won't commit to letting the kids go. Won't commit to apologizing for the murder of Americans. Won't commit to making sure ICE wears proper uniforms, badges and no masks.

Equal justice actually means equal pain — if fines don’t scale with income, the rich get permission slips and the poor get punished. Finland figured that out.

This is where conservativism leads. It is the direct result of backwards thinking.

We don't need to focus on yesteryear. We need to focus on the here and now in order to prepare for the future.

If your detention system looks like a dystopian death game, the problem isn’t optics — it’s that you’ve already crossed a moral line and are pretending not to notice.

I think those played a role, but not enough on their own. I think allowing the IDF to slaughter innocent civilians probably had more of an impact. I think depressing the primary in Florida hurt. I think that advertising a continuation of existing policies is poor form. Campaigning with Liz Cheney...

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Every politician says "more housing." It's not enough to say "more housing." We should demand a serious housing agenda.

Build millions of public units. Pass a nationwide tenant bill of rights. Ban hedge funds owning homes.

Warehousing of America's poor has been big business at tax payer expense. It's due to propaganda that anyone buys into it. It doesn't make us safer: it's coming for all of us, eventually.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.
