WTF. This is insane.

For so many seniors, there would be no money for food, rent, or prescriptions without their Social Security check. Howard Lutnick says if they complain about missing a check, they're a fraudster.
Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

We will very quickly become an international pariah
The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?

Farage did exactly the same thing as an MEP. He never put in the work he was paid for in Brussels. Back then, he said it was because he didn't respect the EU and wanted to see it collapse. So does that mean he doesn't respect Clacton or the UK now? Perhaps he wants us to be taken over by the USA?
