Channel 4 to mark Trump’s UK visit with ‘longest uninterrupted reel of untruths’
Broadcaster to dedicate Wednesday night schedule to unpicking US president’s false or misleading statements

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.
But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?
The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Rhode Islanders lit the first spark of the American Revolution by burning the HMS Gaspee in June 1772.
Today, Gaspee Days are once again filled with protest — because 253 years later, we’re still saying it loud: No Kings.
Not then. Not now. Not ever.

Angus: Our PM went to Washington to meet with Trump—in what looked like a cheesy bordello decked out in gold lamé. When Trump was asked about Canada giving up its sovereignty, he said, “Never say never.”
Every Canadian knew exactly what that meant. For a sexual predator, no means no means nothing.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.
When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

Off-loading Federal expenses to the States seems like a sensible idea for a Republican administration, until you realize:
Nine of the ten States that rely most on Government funding -- all receiving more money per capita than they pay in taxes -- voted Red in the last election.

Cory Booker has now given the longest Senate floor speech in American history. Strom Thurmond previously set the record in defense of segregation. A Black senator breaks it speaking out against a white supremacist.
Let this serve as a spark to all Democrats.

One question the Senate hearing didn’t address that demands an answer: How many senior Trump officials are currently using Signal or other unsanctioned apps to conduct government business? What are they back channeling and keeping hidden from the public record?

The parent that lectured me on 1/20/25 that Trump would have the stock market soaring to new highs is now the parent that is telling me the 25% loss on my investments in the stock market today is not something to worry about and to ignore the market. Make it make sense. 😵💫😵💫😵💫
