Republican Senators are voting to confirm Trump’s lawyer to be AG when it just came out that Capital One shut down Trump’s accounts under suspicion of money laundering and Trump wants exemption from being investigated for tax fraud. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS.
Israeli Minister of Innovation and Technology, Gila Gamliel: "I still stand by my promise that we will walk in the streets of Tehran. You do not know the extent of the situation in Iran; it has worsened significantly."
Palestinians attended on Tuesday the funeral of 112 members of the Hassayna and Abu Sharia families, who were killed in an Israeli strike in 2023 and whose remains were recovered from beneath the rubble over the past

Plant question so he can talk about immigration. I would also investigate how did 50k people suddenly show up at Spain (Cueta), which benefits the felon’s talking points.
Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.
We do not need more religious zealotry in any form from any direction in any politics here. There is too much already. Christian right nut jobs are just one example. We need to fight to keep religion out because it is used by some politicians to make people blind to evil they do. See Israel.
It’s interesting that a powerful religious left is developing in America led by clergy and lay people in response to Trump and ICE! We desperately need that here in the face of the appropriation of Christianity by the far right.

#OccupiedWestBank, 3 Aug 2026 #israeli occupiers issued demolition notices for around 40 Palestinian shops along the bypass road east of Jenin, prompting owners to begin clearing their belongings. The demolitions are part of a plan to isolate eastern villages from Jenin city. #NetanyahuWarCriminal
this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?
Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.
What about not enough water for the public? While millions of us face hosepipe bans, AI datacentres are gulping down millions of litres of fresh drinking water every single day.
"Brent oil for October fell as much as 7.3% to $81.55 a barrel in early trading Monday, after futures surged more than 20% in July." Insider traders are making unfathomable amounts of money off this market manipulation.

US automakers will be back asking for yet another public bailout in a few years. One of many depressingly predictable recurring cycles in US politics.
The American E.V. Has Been Crushed. Will It Take the U.S. Auto Industry With It?
The largest U.S. automakers have backed away from electric vehicles, even as global sales are booming. The decision may make them obsolete.

But wait there's more.... Data centers are now suing to gain access to the Colorado River.
Sorry to say US border officials were rude and aggressive even before Trump. Been once, never again. 🇭🇲
That was certainly our experience, even before Trump. 🇭🇲 No way we are ever going back. Europe is so much more welcoming and deserving of our tourist dollar.
According to Luke Tryl on Radio 4 disillusioned Reform voters think Farage is “just the same as the rest” on the corruption front. But he isn’t is he? He’s exponentially worse. And his grifter tendency has been obvious for a very long time.

Every morning cleaning crews deploy across the streets of Paris, a few photos from my morning walk today; rue Blanche, rue des Martyrs & rue de Maubeuge; power washing, sweeping sidewalks, & scrubbing & vacuuming the streets #paris #15minutecity #urbanism
What is the source of those numbers? I ask because they look wrong having just checked one of those numbers which was over double the claimed amount. Using averages like that can be problematic. Better to use standing charge + variable rates per kWh.
If only the UK had massively subsidised the green economy with retraining for wind & solar and 100% home insulation instead of massively subsidising polluting but profitable oil and gas and warmongering ... meme via Neil McEvoy
While this is good news, there's no getting away from the fact that every one of these national associations should be ashamed of ever having supported the re-election of someone they knew to be totally unfit for office. They condemn themselves even as they condemn Infantino.
European countries prepare to formally withdraw support for Infantino’s re-election with announcements likely soon. Pressure tightening. Story: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Don't people get sent to prison for this sort of thing? Why is Farage's fiancier so immune to punishment for these felonies?
"[Byline] revealed that Cottrell entered corporate finance under a false Swiss identity, hired by the same City network that produced Reform UK’s own treasurer, Mehrtash A’zami. "Byline Times has since confirmed that this identity was stolen from a real person – Cottrell’s old school friend."

They don’t want it to be true. If the crossings stopped they’d be subsidizing them to embarrass Labour. Reform and Restore NEED the small boat crossings
Andy Burnham correctly points out in an interview that small boat crossings are massively down this year compared with last. The comments in the post are filled with people suggesting he is lying about this very clear, data-evidenced fact. It’s almost as though they don’t want it to he true…
🔴 MAGA’s harassment of Fauci is a medieval witch hunt driven by scientifically illiterate bullies desperate to feed the mob. Any country that believes in modern medicine, vaccines, and reason should stand with Fauci against this tirade of ignorance
The UK should offer political asylum to Fauci
