Trump is suing the NY Times for $15 billion because he didn’t like what they wrote about him.
CBS, ABC News, Des Moines Register, WSJ, and now the NYT.
The “freedom of speech” President is trying to crush the freedom of the press and their freedom of speech through lawsuits.

I knew #BBCRADIO4 was out of touch, but a whole hour of “poor me” from landlords that can only have 2 instead of 3 spare houses, and are horrified at having to pay some NI on their lazy income - when the rest of us have been paying NI forever and seen house prices more than triple in our lifetime.

The level of corruption from the Trump Crime Family is breathtaking. Trump’s crypto firm received $2 billion from the United Arab Emirates in May. Two weeks later, the White House agreed to give the U.A.E. access to hundreds of thousands of the world’s most advanced computer chips.

Yeah. Amazing how this bombshell has gone largely under the radar. And it includes plenty of frontline clinical staff, too. We ALREADY have c100,000 staff vacancies.
But apparently problems in the NHS are the fault of striking workers. Bonkers.

Wes Streeting is making the NHS make around 100k vital staff redundant and the £1billion redundancy cost has to be paid out of the existing NHS budget.

It's very worth noting that these are the conditions *all* detainees are held in. Not just the "dangerous criminals" who make up a tiny fraction. ICE attracts people who despise immigrants, and the cruelty is the point.

This government could have taken on the super-rich to tackle inequality.
They chose to fan the flames of racism and embolden the far-right instead.
Our country needs a change in direction, now.
It’s time for a real alternative that redistributes wealth, ownership and power.
