In Kremenchuk, Poltava region, road traffic across the bridge damaged by a Russian drone strike was restored within a day, Ukrzaliznytsia head Oleksandr Pertsovskyi reported.
In the UK, cervical cancer rates have dropped significantly! It’s a genuine life saver!
NEVER EVER ANNOY AN OAK TREE
Business leaders are capitulating, but the people have been standing up and unmistakably rejecting Trump’s authoritarianism. Everything Trump and the GOP are doing, gerrymandering and manufacturing crises, is because they know they’ve lost the people—and will likely lose the midterms.

It feels deeply unfair, but at the same time, we want government to be free from the taint of corruption, so it's the right course. I do, however, feel very sorry for Rayner. NOW let's watch the press hold other politicians to these standards.

Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).

Beautiful. I love the thought that not long before that picture was taken, the sun was setting below our horizon in Ireland and the UK.

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...

Wrote about the feelings stirred when Irish artists face criticism and censorship in Britain due to their solidarity with Palestine.
What it means!
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Tomorrow I will be a tabling a motion to force the government to release the legal advice it has received on Israel's military action in Gaza and breaches of international law. Ministers cannot turn a blind eye to this humanitarian catastrophe any longer.

All you need to know about Nigel Farage is that as soon as he 'got Brexit done' he applied for a German Passport so it wouldn't apply to him.

Great idea!
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
Please join me in thanking all the civil servants, career federal, state and local government employees who have worked tirelessly to remain apolitical and do their jobs to the best of their abilities. They are heroes.
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.

Trump is covering all his bases. By hook or by CROOK, he is going to win a third term.
National Guard called in to deal with ‘crime emergency’ in DC are now picking up trash.
It’s the first week of school for many—a time that should be filled with joy, not grief. Those children in Minnesota were at Mass when their lives were stolen. My heart goes out to all impacted by this act of violence. Gun violence has no place in our schools, our churches, or our communities.
www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.

🇫🇮🇺🇸🇺🇦 Americans should imagine losing several large states at once to understand Russia's territorial claims to Ukraine, — Finnish President Stubb. ❗️"It's like you gave up Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, even Virginia, and then moved closer to Maryland."
It's Day 1274 of Ukraine's incredible defence of its people, land, culture + shielding many NATO states, next on Putin's hit-list from his long stated dream to reunite the USSR Somehow Trump & his cults (I nearly misspelled that) seem intent on helping Putin. Here's the daily🧵
This should be front page news on every newspaper in the country and on every chyron on your TV screen. Naive, aren't I?

Mountain View, California Tuesday, August 26 Volunteers Needed
On this day in 1920, the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified guaranteeing women the right to vote! Photo taken at the Woman Suffrage Headquarters, Upper Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 1912.
Showing that Ukraine still needs military support from USA, not a sellout. Appeasing dictators never works. (Reference: Neville Chamberlain 1939)
The Alaska talks wrapped up with zero results and no press questions. Putin walks away without new sanctions, Trump walks away with nothing. Feels like a straight win for Moscow — and Trump came off looking like a prop while Putin buys more time to hit Ukraine and ignore Zelensky.
Spiteful and against natural justice ☹️☹️
Weak Donald bullies allies and is subservient to foes.

It’s amazing that Washington DC can achieve its lowest crime rate in 30 years when 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is experiencing its highest crime rate in history.
