"There will be no downsides to Brexit... only considerable upsides"
Brexit reduced the UK’s GDP by between 6% and 8%. That is MASSIVE. #ProjectFear #wetoldyouso

If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

I'd like to think that photos of Trump with half naked teenage girls would be the end of him, but the way things are now i'm not sure it would be.
NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

WOW! The latest SSMIS 183 Ghz microwave image of Fung-wong (Uwan) indicates a MW brightness temperatures of less then 110 Kelvin. Literally going off the scale. Just like with IR brightness temp, lower values mean more intense convection. Not sure if I have ever seen this before.

The UK has one high speed line that's just over 100km long. In the last 3 days i've travelled 1200km on high speed rail here in China, and they are building new rail *everywhere*.

Nazis thrive on chaos and violence. It allows them to disguise their brutal tyranny as “law and order.”
There’s more than his usual psychopathic cruelty behind Trump’s attempt to starve Americans by cutting off their food stamps.

If Trump doesn't want to be compared to Hitler, he should stop imitating Hitler.
Fascists use lies as a weapon, to demonize minorities and incite hate and violence.

The cruelty is the goal here.
They want people terrified so they self deport.
ICE need to be held accountable for every one of these abuses.

Easily 90% of the vehicles here in China are electric. There are makes here i've never heard of let alone seen in Europe.
If you invest in infrastructure, and price correctly then demand will follow.
And yes, i'm well aware of the cultural and political difference, but it's still true.

Despite negative press reporting the energy transition is well underway. In the UK, we see strong demand for electric vehicles and solar panels. And the more people learn that these technologies can offer them tangible benefits the more others will adopt them too.

Today FRANKENSTEIN arrives on Netflix. I think it’s one of @realgdt.bsky.social’s best films. Turn off the lights, turn off the phones, and dive in. It’s that kind of movie. My @vitalthrills.com review: www.vitalthrills.com/frankenstein...

Top tip for travelling on the train in China if you're tall... pay extra for first class. It's not that much extra but your knees will thank you for it.
Oh, and be prepared for kids starring.... 😂

So fuckin metal! Predator thrown into a pulp sci-fi comic book with a new and deadly monster at every turn. Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi brings such emotion to Dek and Elle Fanning is a breath of fresh air for the franchise. Trachtenberg can make these forever. Go see it!! #PredatorBadlands

Newsom: Anyone checked out my Patriot store? We do have some knee pads. It’s a signature series. They’re sold out at the moment. The universities, and all these law firms, and certain media organizations—I figured they can use these.
