"Pirro clearly wanted to spare herself any further scrutiny by the courts, but her motion to dismiss is comically inept, an attempt to paper over the fact her office charged Hearn based only on Trump's fevered imaginings. All it does is highlight how much she was willing to lie in the first place."

It's one thing to bullshit on Fox. It's another to lie in court.

The lack of widespread outrage about Meta's rape glasses is astonishing to me. It's a strong indicator that these are just going to be allowed to slowly creep into all of our lives, and by the time anyone realises the harms that they're doing, it will already be too late. bsky.app/profile/slat...

I'm all for rehabilitation, and if this person has truly changed his ways then good for him. It is rather strange though that this came only weeks after the murder of Ann Widdecombe; you'd think his prison sentence for the racist harassment of a Labour MP would have been a giant red flag.

It's a bit odd that the govt have announced concern about the chemicals used to treat dog fleas being a "danger to our rivers and waterways". A danger to our rivers, but not to the pet owners and their children? I've obviously missed something here. #C4News

watching the candidate forum for the US Senate seat currently held by Tina Smith and it's incredible how Royce White's response to every question is to spout insane conspiracy theories about transgender people and the uniparty. This guy was the GOP's nominee for a Senate seat two years ago!

On reflection, I should have said "far right" here, but you get what I was trying to say, right? #C4News

I Am Incorrigible@imincorrigible.bsky.social · 3h ago

"Radical left" is a US conservative framing, imported uncritically into British journalism. #C4News would never call a Tory candidate "hard right" without evidence. The same standard should apply. This is bias dressed as shorthand.

Matt Frei on #C4News just called democratic senate candidate from Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, "radical left." El-Sayed's platform: universal healthcare, money out of politics, affordable housing. Let's examine what's actually radical here. 🧵

That one or more (possibly many more) of the 1000s of violent offenders, who are granted early release, will commit grievous assaults and even murder, is a near certainty. When it happens, the outcry will be deafening, and rightly so. It's the sort of thing that brings down govts. #C4News

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Kemi Badenoch is doing well, and it is hard to- nay, impossible - to imagine that a different Conservative leader, making different choices, would not be in a better place right now.

Daniel@deargodwhaat.bsky.social · 14h ago

This is just such a mental incident? It's one thing for him to slip through the cracks, another for the party leader to actively support him??

In a typically idiotic moment during the interview, Badenoch exclaimed that she never watched his videos, quicky followed by "I don't like his videos" & "he makes fun of lots of politicians in his videos". #r4today

Badenoch is a complete clown. She refuses to select people who support net zero policies (which where originated by her party) but she is ok to welcome former Nazis. Can't wait for the next time she starts lecturing other parties on anti-semitism... #r4today
