@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social I thought you should know that someone has taken over your BlueSky account and is sending trite messages that make it look like you haven't got a clue about what is happening in the country.

A ridiculous take on the serious health crisis unfolding under RFK.
Clive Parry (@cliveparry.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s a start. So how can you use the upcoming budget process to get leverage? What other Senate procedures can you use to make life difficult for Trump? Remember it is not the Dems’ job to save GOP from themselves.

I am sure the DOJ is grateful that you have given them the topline they wanted without mentioning that Blanche was previously Trumps's defense lawyer and that Maxwell was previously charged with perjury.
Clive Parry (@cliveparry.bsky.social) reply parent
So you quickly push this out for them without analysis, instead of questioning if this is a real investigation or another political move from an administration not known for its interest in accurate data. Less transcription, more journalism please!

@cnn.com “made a series of false claims” = “lied multiple times”. Be concise and precise if you want to be useful.

@cnn.com “Made some false claims” = “lied”. “a long-debunked claim” = “a lie”. Be concise and precise if you want to be useful.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social thought you should know someone has taken over your Bluesky account and is posting hackneyed messages that make it look like you have no clue what is happening or what to do.

Still more transcription than journalism. You have to read through to para 11 to find this is likely not true.

Unusually credulous headline from the Guardian. Has he shown any evidence of seriously trying so far?
Clive Parry (@cliveparry.bsky.social) reply parent
Another terrible @nytimes.com headline that is more stenography than journalism. How about “Trump review could politicise and censor Smithsonian”.
Clive Parry (@cliveparry.bsky.social) reply parent
Shorter version: “Trump lied about crime in DC”. Don’t be afraid to be concise and accurate.

Bizarre take on the judge who leads a highly partisan court that has broken significant precedents and issued multiple unexplained rulings on behalf of Trump recently.
Clive Parry (@cliveparry.bsky.social) reply parent
A bizarrely naive piece from the @nytimes.com written as if Roberts is somehow suddenly experiencing politics for the first time and is not the complicit leader of a highly partisan Supreme Court.

Dear President Trump I am writing to let you know that someone is sending us letters using your name and address. Unfortunately it is clear that the sender is entirely irrational.
Clive Parry (@cliveparry.bsky.social)
Why is it only “Lad Bible” and foreign media commenting on the embarrassing illiteracy of Trump’s trade letter and what it means for the competency of this administration? Sane washing again? @cnn.com @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com www.ladbible.com/news/us-news...

This is a terrible idea that could effectively kill platforms such as this one through the legal exposure caused, while the very large platforms would likely have enough money to defeat most legal challenges.

This isn't a debate. This isn't politics as usual. It's an unprecedented crisis. Treat it as such.

100%, and we also need to get past the naive idea that this is just a battle of policy differences that can be won through quality of argument.

Watching the launch of the Resolution Foundation's excellent report Ending Stagnation. Some very sobering analysis of the deep problems facing the UK economy, but also some good ideas on how to start getting back on track. economy2030.resolutionfoundation.org/reports/endi...
