Dangerously, President Trump and HHS Sec. Kennedy are wreaking havoc on our already broken and dysfunctional healthcare system. You don’t make America healthy again by throwing 15 million people off of their health care and undermining science. Secretary Kennedy must resign.
The whole nation must hear their stories. We owe them that, and Trump owes us full transparency.

"You can say what you like, I don’t care, because that’s what free speech is," Nigel Farage has just told the House Judiciary Committee, about three hours after his party banned me from covering its conference this weekend.
Good morning to you 🌞 from the Southern Coast on the
All the Democrats and 4 Republicans have signed a bill to release the Epstein files if 2 more Republicans sign the Government has to release them Donald Trump is screaming that anyone who signs is a traitor and he will destroy them. Is that the behaviour of an innocent person?
Nigel Farage just repeatedly denied – under oath! – to @raskin.house.gov ever banning journalists he doesn’t like from his party’s conventions. This happened to me *literally today*.
More of this.

Powerful graphic: Chicago just saw its smallest summer murder total since 1965. The city is on track to see one of its lowest murder totals in decades, a trend in play all year that continued through the city's most violent season. Murders are way, way down after a spike. Look:
#Farage is going to regret his trip to the USA. He's being taken apart, surgically, with facts, data-backed arguments and counterpoints, by multiple Congress representatives, one after the other. He's being made a fool of. On live TV. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpBA...

I have several, today, stating they have been banned from the Reform conference in a few weeks time, while one of the Reform councils has banned the local newspaper access! He is lying and he has been internationally found out (again).
My dad was a 40-year fed who worked in a scientific agency. I cannot stress to you, based on what he has told me, how hard it is to get even ten people to agree on anything, including the color of the sky or what time it is. To get 1,000+ to take a bold stance is CRAZY. bsky.app/profile/fact...

Bonkers.
About time someone nailed the GOP for their 'free speech' hypocrisy. Well said.
Rep. Jamie Raskin tears into Nigel Farage as a "far-right pro-Putin politician" and a "Donald Trump sycophant and wannabe".
No wonder Trump is so intent on keeping the files from being released.👀
The US population in 1850 was 23M, and 95M in 1913. The world trading system was also dramatically different. Why doesn't someone tell him you can't go back 175 years FFS! Any journalists in the house?
Why does he keep peddling this absolute p*sh.
REPORTER: Why were the 11 men on the boat killed instead of taken into custody? TRUMP: On the boat you have massive amounts of drugs. Everybody fully understands that.
He knows this is total sh*t.

It's really quite a thing to have a Secretary of Energy who does not understand, ummm... energy.
Trump prepares to impose a State of Siege in Chicago and Baltimore. Remember: This has nothing to do with crime. It's all about asserting control over largely Democratic cities. Is this how the Confederacy finally reverses the outcome of the Civil War?
For all of you that need insulin to survive...Trump hates you and wants you to die...and die broke.
Not a single Reform UK MP attended today's Commons statement on child rape gangs.
Pritzker says the press should be asking this question, too, and he's right.
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
A real honor to be able to help out with this. An absolute gutter ball that it is required. Kudos to @andrewdessler.com for exemplary leadership, @bobkopp.net for helping pull it together, and to all coauthors for resisting in our own way.

Cheap and tacky.
Big Oil is fueling the global plastics waste crisis — and relies on the fraud of plastic recycling to keep doing business as usual. “I don’t think anyone was quite aware of the level of fraud the industry was perpetrating on the public,” explained CCI's Richard Wiles. Check out the full story: 👇

The part I agree with in this piece is the idea that there should be a sliding scale for fines based on income. If cameras don't issue points, rich people see the fine as nothing more than a small price to pay in order to do whatever the heck they want.
Who cares?
They will all be dead soon.
Owning one of these gets you accused of being an elitist who's imposing his lifestyle on other people.
The global LNG industry must succeed for the oil industry to have a future. Which helps explain why they think they can ignore the basic rules of supply and demand. But they can't Sio it will be a financial bloodbath for the dumb money if they go along with Carney's plan.

What people think I get injured by (sharks), vs. what I really got injured by just a week later (hit by a driver backing out a driveway & running over my bike). 2024 saw 47 unprovoked shark attacks with 4 fatalities worldwide, while 1166 cyclists died in US traffic crashes! @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Always this. When waiting at lights you get a chance to chat, while motorists gnash their teeth in self important rage.
Socialist Spain's welcoming and liberal approach to immigration is paying economic dividends.
What Reform’s “detain and deport” really means: ❌ Sending people to torture and death. ❌ Making the UK a rogue state outside international law. ❌ Higher prices as leaving the ECHR wrecks our EU trade deal. This is not about control, it is about cruelty - we must stand against it.
The failure of the government and many Labour MPs to leave X after the 2024 riots suggests they just don't get the challenge they face or the power they have to fight back. Completely weak and callow.

The UK is on track for another year of poor harvests. It's starting to become a familiar story - driven mostly by climate change and a smaller amount of shifting land use...🧵 www.ft.com/content/7376...
Reform UK, the right leaning think tank Policy Exchange, and some Labour grandees, are all pushing for us to either leave the ECHR, or disapply parts of it temporarily or permanently. This puts me, you and everyone at risk, not just those seeking sanctuary.
Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims. As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.” That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.

SCOOP: Revolution Wind employed 80 fishermen over the past 2 years, paying out $9.5 million to captains, deckhands, and fishing boat owners. Trump's pause means he just put Trump-voting fishermen out of work. When Trump paused Empire Wind, the fishermen stayed quiet. This time, they spoke to me.👇
“The change shows how ambitious policymaking can directly improve health in large cities. Air pollution is often described by health experts as a silent killer. Both PM 2.5 and nitrogen dioxide have been linked to major health problems, including heart attacks, lung cancer, bronchitis and asthma.”

Congestion pricing is actually the perfect example here. Trump declared that “congestion pricing is dead” (and that he is the king) Hochul and the MTA told him to fuck off, and now, more than 6 months later, congestion pricing is still alive and working exactly as planned
The BBC keep slipping up with this, time and time again.
It's important to understand the history and context of the Dutch red carpet ride 👇
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.
Has anyone told this resident that the drunk men urinating everywhere are just very concerned and showing some local pride?
Why on earth do the Tories want to keep people locked into high energy bills? And, come to that, why is the BBC citing Reform but saying nothing about climate science or renewable alternatives? Complete madness - except for the fossil fuel industry of course
This is a great time to remind everyone that EOs aren’t laws, the federal government doesn’t manage voting in this way, and it’s all a scare tactic and any reporting that doesn’t provide that context is enabling potentially lawless activity.
