Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Sorry to hear about David Lynch. I worked beside him (same studio) while he was making BLUE VELVET. He answered my questions about his work with grace and honesty. I especially enjoyed his deeply existential comic strip, The Angriest Dog in the World.”

✍️ Elon Musk’s war on ‘free speech’ and truth – should Britain consider banning X?

Musk’s social media platform X fuels disinformation, hate, and political interference. How long can his ‘free speech’ hypocrisy go unchecked?

And then after explaining the extensive delays caused by the Supreme Court, Smith concludes: "Indeed, but for Mr. Trump's election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial." END/

Thou shalt not ‘impose conditions’ on disaster aid to California.

California is the 6th largest economy in the world.

If thou fuck around, thou shalt find out.

Trump should be in jail.

Instead - he's about to get handed the keys to the White House.

That this can happen is not only mind-boggling, it's frankly terrifying I'm afraid.

Its a cult.
He sold myriad, and often conflicting, fantasies to voters. In three weeks’ time, he’ll face reality. And many Trump voters will undoubtedly start to realize that he is not at all the person they thought they were voting for.

He sold them countless, often conflicting fantasies. In 2025, he’ll face political reality.

Ex-PM, ex-MP Liz Truss crashed the UK economy.
Yes, Liz Truss.
The same Liz Truss that competed with a lettuce and lost. While competing Liz Truss also crashed the UK economy.
Liz Truss is always crashing: parties (bcus who would invite her), the UK economy and her career.
Crashfest, Liz.
