This is a war not *just* against the living planet, not *just* against the common good, but against the very nature of material reality. The ultimate expression of power is to say "night is day", and have others believe you.

Trump vetted Hegseth in 2017; past allegations came up and scuttled a VA nom. This time Trump axed the normal vetting processes, hired a private firm, didn’t wait for a report, selected Hegseth. Now his team says it was blindsided. Uh, no—it got caught. This is why media needs curatorial journalism.

Not merely rich people with more personal influence on politics than poorer people have, but a few extremely rich people closely connected to the national leader who act in government-like roles despite never being elected or nominated to any official position.

1/6 The BBC article from Anthony Zurcher misses the mark by a long way. The media and political world are still thinking in the wrong terms.

Gaetz as AG is not "a shot across the US govt's bows"; Trump's aim is to destroy the establishment.

Anyone else find it amusing that Guido Fawkes, a scuttlebutt website that trades on the idea of blowing up parliament, is now being run by Lord Kempsell of Utter Cronyism?

Only 8 months after Guido Fawkes was advising myself,
Dan Evans and Tom Latchem to settle Wootton's spurious privacy claim or face ruin, he's crowdfunding his own legal defence and stepping down as editor

Wait at the riverside long enough...
