The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

This is what responsible government looks like - telling people unwelcome truths & that this generation must be fairer to those who inherit our mess
Nothing like grifters promising tax cuts, cheap energy & easy solutions that don't exist like Reform UK

🚨 Last night JK Rowling attacked The National as an "anti-woman newspaper". I think that is absolutely ridiculous chat.
Here's my open letter setting out why this kind of attack does not work on our team.

On the Today programme, Kemi Badenoch tells Emma Barnett: “You are asking questions that are changing the very focus of what it is I’m talking about.”
Yes, that’s how interviews work.

Just finished Ghost of Tsushima. What a fantastic game! I have so many thoughts on it but quickly.
So beautiful. A great balance of war and peace. Terrific combat. Really engaging. Can't believe I took so long to come to it. Highly recommend.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.
In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

Trump gutted the Aviation Safety Cmte!
Trump ousted the FAA admin!
The FAA admin was fired because Elon wanted him out!
One air traffic controller was doing the job of 2 people during the crash!
Trump ordered a hiring freeze!
Trump is supposed to be in charge-- why won't he accept responsibility?
