There’s a lot of discussion around feminism especially given that women at NASA are being fired and discouraged from applying to astronaut roles, but my personal fear is the total privatisation of space exploration. I dread to live in a world where “Earth sponsored by Amazon” is a real possibility.

The trip leaned on a vision of women’s empowerment that is light on substance and heavy on a childlike, girlish silliness

It is slightly amusing watching Trump leave Vance out to roast. Just further proves the only VP Trump cares about is Vladimir 🤭

I’m sure the irony isn’t lost on them that not even a month ago their admin fired hundreds of DEI government staff for being “incompetent”.

I always thought Trump gave off slimy car salesman vibes, and now he literally is one 🙄
REPORTER: Do you think you buying a Tesla will boost Tesla and stock?

Even Ed Davey agrees,Keir Starmer is doing a brilliant job at what has been an incredibly challenging task. Starmer has recognised that the UK has to establish itself as the “grownup in the room” in order for a peace deal to be struck for Ukraine, with or without US support.Thank you prime minister!
Ed Davey, "The Prime Minister Keir Starmer is I think actually doing a good job"
"Having to deal with someone who is unreliable and unpredictable as President Donald Trump"
"I feel for him"

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

This woman has more courage than the entire Trump administration combined. She rightly turned down a Trump pardon for the Jan 6 insurrection and acknowledged that she was wrong for participating in the day's events.

Jimmy Carter was one of the last remaining decent politicians. He was a prime example that great leaders don’t need to rule with an iron fist to affect positive change. They can be warm and kind and still inspire the masses. He will be greatly missed. 🥺
