Not main point but very revealing that Laura Kuenssberg keeps on talking about the "child benefit cap" in *tax credits* (it's Universal Credit, and has been for most claimants for some time).

Reflects both very poor briefing *and* her complete ignorance of the topics she asks questions about..

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

So 77 million Americans voted for a vengeful convicted felon who’s pursued a life of crime and promised he’d exploit the presidency for retribution. No one should be surprised this sociopath, immunized by the Supreme Court, is now acting in an utterly lawless manner.

Let’s shout this loud & clear so maybe President Trump will hear it.

President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country, a hero who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

“Zelenskyy found himself ambushed by Trump and his serpentine vice-president, JD Vance. He was expected to sit back and take a beating from Nurse Ratched and Miss Trunchbull. He refused”. Superb piece by David Smith.

Children dying of vaccine-preventable diseases due to parental neglect is truly a hellish reality. There will be more of these deaths and every single one will be a preventable tragedy.
A child has died of measles in the West Texas outbreak, the 1st death from the disease in a decade in the U.S. The child hadn't been vaccinated against measles, according to the city of Lubbock's health dept. 124 cases have been reported in TX w/ 18 hospitalizations www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
