As a future measure, any federal LE force that insists on hiding from the public should be disbanded.

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

Incredibly brave. Imagine the faceless bores the BBC will have making their programmes if they continue down this path.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I think politicians, political operatives, and pundits should read *more* political science, not less, and in particular enough to understand that empirical patterns (e.g. loss of presidential party in midterm years) are equilibrium outcomes but not self-executing laws of nature.
Niche take — we need donors and practitioners to stop reading about empirical political science findings to make sure we’re not creating weird recursion in the system.

Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.
