“Remember, the Constitution doesn’t begin with, ‘I, the president.’ It begins with, ‘We, the people.’ ” —Gloria Steinem at the 2017 Women’s March

Is anyone particularly surprised?

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether. He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

Perfectly encapsulated. 👌

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Call me totally unsurprised.

The Department of Homeland Security, in response to pressure from President Trump, is diverting resources intended for fighting terrorism and child abuse to focus on arresting undocumented immigrants, a New York Times investigation found. nyti.ms/4nXoB6o

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Can’t see many greater incentives for women to stay home than this lot! Massive posturing!

Rep Ansari totally rocks!

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

Absolutely love Portland’s response to government overreach. 🐸🐔🦄🦖Donations mean that increasing numbers of costumes are available to anyone who wants to demonstrate peaceably. Frogs, along with chickens, unicorns and dinosaurs are all dancing and having fun. savethefrogs.com/peace/

A giant inflatable frog has become an unlikely hero in Portland, Oregon. Amidst protests and demonstrations, this whimsical amphibian has captured hearts.

Reform candidate visibly squirms as he's confronted by a local family in Caerphilly.

👏 "We've lived here all our lives. And I have never felt so unwelcome in my own hometown as I do since your party came into Caerphilly." "With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this." "I blame you for that."

Doubt you’ll get any response from DHS to this very pertinent question.

Why would the cartels want to stop ICE and CBP activities that have been diverting resources away from drug interdiction?

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

Trump: Earhart…Epstein. Close enough they probably won’t notice the difference.

Every time a new image of the Oval Office appears, the more incredibly over the top it is. “Less is more” is obviously not a phrase that resonates with Trump. 🤦🏼

Reform Dicks in every sense of the words!

When even a former Israeli PM says it’s a concentration camp, then perhaps those screaming it’s just anti-semitism might want to stop and draw breath. Courtesy of @theguardian.com

MTG is in need of serious psychiatric help

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action". This is real police state behaviour.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US. Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them? Or just the brown people?

My God. Please make sure everyone you know knows this.

Absolutely love this. ❤️❤️❤️

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

There can’t be many people who would disagree with this.

Totally with @theguardian.com on this. Does QE2 need a memorial of this kind? Think the money could be so much better used in something that has practical benefit.

‘Excessively wasteful and giving off Swarovski vibes’: our critic on the ‘tiara bridge’ for the late queen

Norman Foster’s cast glass design to honour Queen Elizabeth II will see a perfectly decent bridge destroyed and vast sums squandered at great ecological cost. And how will it stay sparkly?

Out of the five most recent X posts by @itvnews three are about Nigel Farage. So incidentally is the sixth. Overkill or what?

And it’s all-out war! 😂 Pass the popcorn. 🍿

I’d really love someone in the Westminster government to explain why Wales should pay for a rail link between Oxford and Cambridge. This is not an England AND WALES project and funding should reflect that.

I’m sure they’ll come up with another big beautiful bill packed with ideas from Project 2025!

Well, *someone* has to work the midnight shift at red state meatpacking plants.

Liz Truss’s endless search for some kind of relevance continues! 🙄

In addition to teeny, tiny hands #Trump clearly has overly thin skin.

Welcome back to 1896! 🤦🏼
