It took 20 years of the “war on terror” to chip away at America’s reputation, but Trump bulldozed what was left in under nine months.

John Oliver fact-checks Kennedy. PSA- everything coming out of the HHS needs to be fact-checked. Anyone can spout numbers. Here he goes again, as usual. MAHA math ain't mathin'. 🧪 www.youtube.com/shorts/JPzXG...
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
@samcoatessky.bsky.social hi Sam, this morning you stated “…the main opposition parties, the Cons and Reform UK…” Unless I missed 67 Parliamentary by-elections since July, the Lib Dems are very much the main opposition party with the Cons, not Reform. Do we have to keep doing this?
If I have then so have a lot of other people. That's why I say that have to be *seen* to be doing these things. There's a whole media world out there amplifying the lies of others. It's always been a challenge for Labour with our billionaire-controlled media, but a vital one.
2001 to 2007, and 2007 to 2015...
Why isn't anyone calling them out on this bullshit? Or laughing them out of the studio??
Am I missing something or has that incompetent fxcker actually set the whole world alight? In his own publicity!
As Trump’s health declines, he seems completely preoccupied with his likelihood of reaching Heaven. Guess what, Donny? It’s too late for you. On the bright side, you’ll spend eternity with your best friend, Jeffrey Epstein.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Not for a second suggesting that this isn't a bare-faced lie, but it doesn't say they took $8tn in tariffs. It says they helped drive $8tn in new investment. Pretty sure it's still a stupid and outright lie though.
For those trying to gaslight about vaccinations during the pandemic, just remember: Every hospital in the world had a COVID unit No hospital had a vaccine side effects ward #medsky #covid #vaccinations
Everything is perfectly normal and fine. Nothing to see here.
“in six months sec. kennedy has undermined 60 years of vaccine preventable diseases in this country.” dr. tom frieden frmr dir of CDC let that sink in-the damage this regime has inflicted on us.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Rome knew that lead piping was harmful but their water ran constantly and so it wasn't in the pipes long enough to cause a problem.
Tories call for investigation into Angela Raynor's tax affairs.
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
Last year, voters in Missouri passed a measure to protect abortion rights. But Republicans in the state have repeatedly blocked the referendum from taking effect—and are adding a new measure to election ballots that would largely overturn it.
$8 trillion in tariffs, but GoFundMe is still our national healthcare plan.
As Modi meets Putin in China, John Bolton explains how Trump has undone decades of work trying to woo India to the west, with tariffs and other things
Keir Starmer, "I want to see every single asylum hotel closed" "Nigel Farage and Reform UK are just the politics of grievance" "They don't want the problem solved because otherwise the would have no reason to exist"
Goes sideways faster than a Donald Trump policy.
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
THIS is a leader.
Governor of Illinois JB Pritzker criticises President Trump saying that "Troops on American streets is unAmerican"
This is true. But they need to up their game. They need to be seen to have policies, to be implementing them, publicising them and to be standing up to and indeed attacking Reform and Farage. God knows there's plenty of material.
Fatality.
Do the drug cartels even HAVE a Navy...?
Science is real
Children are always "groomed" by their parents. It's the main reason we still have religion.
Brexit - championed by Farage - has been a significant factor in many of the UK’s problems - it’s time UK news shows and Labour started pointing that out youtu.be/be3b8RkMqvs?...
If ever there was a reason for the UK establishment to get off X it's now - Musk has shadowbanned 10 Downing Street's X acc This is NOT OK, regardless of who's in power this is possibly the most overt & audacious interference in our democratic system to date & a reminder that it's Musk's platform
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.
Can anyone point me to the media story about the largest ever warship export deal ever agreed by the UK that was announced this morning? It’s worth £10bn. It will protect 4000 jobs, provide growth for up to 400 small businesses. Where is our bloody media?
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
If karma was going to help he would have died in his 30s.
He'd have to serve first.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
I don't think "bet it all on the midterms" is a better strategy now than "bet it all on 24" was in 21, but if we're doing it anyway, I'd like to see the authors of that strategy at least working right now on the question of "how do we protect and encourage minority voting if ICE is at the polls?"
But will it be for a party that can get elected and stands a cat in hell's chance of forming a government? Least worst option, under FPTP.
(Also, FPTP is a lousy and pretty vague form of democracy which tends not to reflect the democratic will very efficiently.)
As long as "dealing with this moment in time" means seeing his party's popularity plunge while surrounded by far right lunatics in other parties waiting to fill the void. He needs, we need, to keep those buggers out of power in four years' time. He's not doing well so far.
changes, they seem to be falling into so many completely predictable traps and to have very little idea of how to communicate their successes.
"This" being so many things. I know the press is always going to stick the boot in to any policy and the Tories are utterly shameless hypocrites, but the winter fuel allowance, the freebies, the benefits bill, now nothing over the summer and not doing a decent job of publicising the childcare
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
Musk continues to meddle with domestic politics in other countries: In the run up to the German elections, Musk campaigned for far-right AfD & was met w/ stern rebuffs by the chancellor & leading politicians. Now he's trying it in the UK. Are you ok with that, Britain?

The snake oil salesman got his way once - the result was a disaster. Don’t let him do it again
This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying …
Bye Felicia 😂🤣😂! This video needs to play on repeat in every city! #arrestrepublicans
Next, make smoking compulsory in all public places! At all times! If nothing else we'll be able to run the entire economy from just tobacco taxes.

Sen. Ron Johnson: Stock Trading Ban Would Make It “Unattractive” to Be in Congress Johnson is one of the richest members of Congress, with a net worth of tens of millions of dollars. The bill was introduced by Sen. Tammy Baldwin truthout.org/article... #wiunion #wipolitics
I'm sure that someone who has spent his entire life being despicable to everyone he has ever met (except Epstein) is entirely used to the idea that many many people hate him. THIS many people might be new, but it's not as though other people matter anyway.
This also works for apps that suggest you can make $1000s very quickly starting with a stake of $10 or $50. If they worked the creators would now be the richest people on the planet and trying to find a way of counting their money fast enough.
Always remember that if your financial adviser was any good then they would have enough money that they didn't need to work. And they'd work for a percentage of the money they made you, rather than a percentage of the money you invested.
Fuck yeah, Gov Pritzker and Mayor Johnson. It will be fascinating what happens when ICE agents get arrested for flouting this.
More and more farms all over the country are collapsing and failing because of labor shortages. This is going to hit our shelves very soon. Not high prices. Absence of food.

Apparently, the closing of the concentration camp in Florida costed We the People somewhere in the vicinity of $200 million. So, they wasted approximately a half billion dollars on what? Not to mention the planes we paid for. This deportation is costing us far more than we can afford #USDemocracy
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
CHICAGO…
Grovelling little creep.
Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner has suggested an effective playbook— We should arrest rogue ICE agents at the state level, which would shield them from a presidential pardon. This is the kind of hardline approach we need from our Democratic leaders.
According to a report by the Independent Commission on UK-EU Relations exploring Brexit’s impact on healthcare, it left the pharmaceutical industry with greater trade barriers and bumped-up costs, and limited opportunities to collaborate with other countries.
Gosh! Really? I cant believe Farage and his cronies are spreading false information on social media!
Gavin Newsom is exactly right, Trump is doing everything we told you he would do and more. It's time to wake the hell up, America. Authoritarianism is here.
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
I'm still stunned that @yorkshirebylines.co.uk put in the huge effort to collect all press-reported downsides of Brexit (David Davis had said there would be "none"!)... ...and has the sheer patience to collect 2,000 discrete incidences via media reports before giving up.
It's about 8 years too late, but yeah...
Alex Thomson, "A US Court has found that President Trump wrongly used emergency powers to impose global tariffs" #C4News "The Court of Appeal found that the President had no right to impose many of the import charges" "That's a blow for a key presidential policy"
On account of his personality I call him something slightly shorter, but it begins with the same letter.
Funeral directors?
You know who benefits most from antivaccine conspiracy theories as national health policy? Our enemies.
The other problem with Trump's current or eventual death is that it is now impossible for him to die a natural death and instead we will have endless nonsensical conspiracy theories.
Markets are closed at the weekend, so...
Follow the money. Another crazy theory of mine is they don’t want to take him off life support or officially announce the time of death is so somebody can get all their trading plans lined up.
Because Donald Trump is a petty little vindictive shit who abuses his position to harm people who have inconvenienced or opposed him in any way.
So when IS his next public planned event?
Probably the only way he can still access healthcare, in the US?
And, you know, just maybe, removing the rank incompetent traitor who put RFK Jr in that position....
You think there's nothing wrong with him that hasn't leaked already?? The guy who wouldn't let the doctor write an honest report 8 years ago?
With birth rates plummeting, life here on Earth has a much huge chance of finding sustainability.
Fair.
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services
