The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

The Iowa GOP advanced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to administer a Covid vaccine.

Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.

These are dark days. But for Starmer, the collapse of the old order is a moment of political promise. He can use it to remake his premiership and the continent: new political space has unfolded before him in every direction.
Will he seize it? New writing from me.

Europe’s darkest moment could be Starmer’s biggest opportunity
The collapse of the old order is a moment of political possibility. Starmer must seize it.

MUST WATCH: This is chilling! A woman attends a town-hall in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, peacefully speaks out, and gets hauled out by unmarked goons with zero authority. NO badges. This isn’t what freedom looks like, folks. Get ready—this ride is about to get WAY rougher.

This remains Robinson's pinned tweet.
X is responsible for most of the reach of the contempt
It has monetised the contempt of court & continues to do so

No one can work as a DOCTOR in GP without min 5yr at Medical School, 2yr general hospital roles & 3yr GP training
Only then can a GP consult undifferentiated patients with undiagnosed problems
Yet @nhsengland.bsky.social decided this was OK for a PA
