Farage wants cheaper beer (5p off pints) by slashing vital child benefits. Otto: “Worst policy anyone’s ever come up with.” Mirror headline nails the absurdity.
Nigel Farage is going to "save pubs" by cutting 5p off the price of a pint of beer...

The £3 billion cost will be funded by reinstating the two-child benefit limit.

This might be the worst policy anyone has ever come up with.

Polanski: Gorton & Denton is Green vs Reform now. Farage dodging debate because his candidate is weak. Hannah Spencer to win—Labour has lost the plot.
Gorton & Denton is between the Green Party and Reform.

And Farage knows his candidate is weak as.

Hannah Spencer for the win.

Book Jawns mocks MAGA: Even mountains of proof—eyewitnesses, photos, DNA, flight logs—won’t convince Republicans Trump’s Epstein connection was anything but coincidental. Peak denial.
I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

Watchdog Coalition: Tell Congress loud—Defund ICE if no reforms. Image of young kids by armed agents drives call to action. Contact lawmakers now.

Peter: ICE murdering Americans, arresting honest immigrants—darkest moment in U.S. history. Disgusting, evil leadership. Nation can’t survive this. Powerful condemnation of Trump-era immigration crackdown.
This has to be right up with one of America’s darkest time. ICE KILLING Americans, arresting honest hard working immigrants, similar to the same white immigrants arresting them.
DISGUSTING, HORRIBLE AND EVIL. America cannot survive as a nation with this kind of leadership.

Jong-Fast: “I can’t believe how stupid everything is. I just hate the stupidity.” Raw exhaustion with the political circus—many are feeling exactly the same

Judge strikes down Noem's 7-day notice rule for congressional visits to ICE facilities. Lawmakers can now show up anytime. Major blow to Trump admin secrecy.
Judge rules members of Congress can inspect all ICE detention centers without appointment. "...DHS Sec. Kristi Noem re-implemented a notice requirement…..[which] required 7-days’ warning for visits to [ICE] facilities... funded exclusively by the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’..." thehill.com/regulation/c...

Kennedy Center workers still clueless about Trump’s surprise renovation plan. Staff may continue until July 4, then shutdown begins. NSO looking at other venues—uncertain future.
Kennedy Center staffers expect to continue their work until July 4, they told The Post. After that, when a renovation unexpectedly announced by President Trump could begin, the center will be in uncharted waters.
Kennedy Center workers still in the dark as orchestra scouts other venues
The center’s unions, leaders of the National Symphony Orchestra and lawmakers across the aisle reacted Tuesday to President Donald Trump’s planned closure of the center.

Chu at ICE headquarters: Noem must be impeached, no funding for DHS until it stops violence & abuse. “Trump's agents killed two Americans in daylight—we won't back down.”
Today I joined House Democrats at ICE headquarters in DC to demand Kristi Noem's impeachment & voted NO on funding for DHS. Not a dollar more until DHS ends its violence & abuse of power.

Trump's federal agents killed two Americans in broad daylight. We are not backing down.

Marc Elias: Trump raided an election office and seized ballots, now threatens federal takeover of elections. Treated as normal by media. Democracy Docket tracks this—subscribe now.
The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now he is threatening to take over elections. Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

Garcia: No one in this administration has done more harm than Stephen Miller. It’s Congress’s job to hold him responsible. Powerful callout during ICE crimes hearing.
Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

Polanski: Starmer considering Mandelson & Osborne for US ambassador? Labour blew voter trust. In Gorton & Denton, it's Greens vs Reform—and Greens will win. Labour in deep trouble.
It gets worse. Starmer's shortlist for US ambassador.

Mandelson and George Osborne, Mr corruption and Mr Austerity.

The voters can see it.

In Gorton and Denton, it's between the Greens and Reform, and we will win.

Cruelty is big business: ICE detention at all-time high (73k+), private companies profit massively, donate to politicians who vote to keep funding flowing. For-profit human suffering. Disgusting cycle.

WSJ review: DOJ released Epstein files with 43 victims' full names unredacted (some repeated 100+ times). Promised full protection, delivered exposure. Epic redaction failure—victims deserve better.
“A review of 47 victims’ full names on Sunday found that 43 of them were left unredacted in files that were made public by the government on Friday, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. Several women’s full names appeared more than 100 times in the files. “

George Monbiot: In 2009 I argued Mandelson’s dept acted as a fifth column for corporations, sabotaging public interest & democracy. Thread + article still explosive today.
1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵

Zack Polanski: Labour blew it by taking voters for granted—now facing Green surge in key seats. Vote Green to rebuild services and block Reform. Labour in freefall.

Clymer: You can just say Noam Chomsky is awful for being close friends with Epstein, the pedophile king. No qualifiers needed. Knowing association with child rapists is enough. Sharp.
You know, you can just say Noam Chomsky is awful for being good buddies with the king of pedophiles. You don't need to qualify it with anything. It's perfectly sufficient to say Chomsky knowingly hung out with child rapists and leave it there.

Rude Depundit blog via Sher12: “Why are we not purging Epstein-tainted people from the American government?” Politics protects the powerful. Time for real consequences and full exposure.
They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

The Tennessee Holler: They want us slaving earlier and longer to death so the ultra-rich get more tax cuts. Dr. Oz straight-up said it—supervillains in plain sight.

Ilhan Omar: “Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it, no compromise. Only one way to stop its terror campaign: abolish it.” Uncompromising after Minneapolis killings. Fire.
Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Trump's post: Alex Pretti "agitator" who spat & violently kicked expensive gov SUV taillight—calm ICE officer endured it. Translation: summary execution OK if you damage property. Sickening.
The USA, where the summary execution of an unarmed man can now be justified by the actual president, because on a separate occasion he kicked the tail light of a "very expensive government vehicle."
