They haven't moved in response to demonstrations. They have moved in anticipation of an insurrection when the next Election is suppressed.

In a country that imposes a de facto 9% tax on graduates earning the average wage, the case against a 2% tax on multimillionaires looks remarkably weak

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

The absence of a functioning Congress renders the US Constitution meaningless.

The purpose of the Epstein Ballroom is simply to tell you: "I can do whatever the fuck I like, and there is nothing you can do about it." Message received.

I posted this 3 months ago. If Congress doesn't sit, it can't stop anything. The insurrection has been running for 3 months. Nothing can stop it now.
As I understand the Big Beautiful Act, ICE will soon have a standing army larger than the National Guard, no member of which is required to swear allegiance to the Constitution. This is a recipe for insurrection and/or a junior version of the SS. Congratulations, Congress!

Donald Trump was so impressed by the Banqeting Hall at Windsor Castle he decided he wanted a bigger and better one.

Surely, the White House is some category of "National Monument"? If one man can decide to demolish part of it he can demolish all of it.

#CancelSpotify

They are running ICE ads.

They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.

Spread the word.

Another of my Grandmother's favourite phrases comes back to me when I see Speaker Johnson on TV: "He's a supercilious little cynt!"

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill.

Farage is still silent.

It’s deafening.

Speaker Johnson is that kid in school that you always wanted to punch in the face, but didn't because you knew you would feel bad about it, but have regretted it ever since.

Highly unlikely that Government will succeed in recovering any of the PPE Medpro money. The legal threshold for recovering sums an insolvent company has already paid out is high. This is yet another reason why it was appalling that Gove et al chose to deal with tiny box-fresh VIP lane suppliers.

Simple English to Russian translations:

ICE = Wagner
Los Angeles = Luhansk
Portland = Donetsk
Washington DC = Sevastopol
Chicago = Melitopol

Thank you for your attention to this matter

Most of the people who voted for Brexit whom I have met have not the faintest idea of how the EU works. It seems most of the people who voted for Trump, including Trump, have no idea how the US Constitution and Government work.

Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty to taking bribes from Russia to make pro Russian statements.

Richard Tice - Deputy Leader of Reform: I have never met Nathan Gill and he has nothing to do with Reform.

Well ok then…
