I always appreciate the bittersweet nature of everyday life .✨✨✨ Discipline is the bridge between dreams and reality. Hard work builds the foundation, but discipline is what keeps you moving when motivation fades.
I can tell the bond folks the exact date Kevin Warsh will start advocating for major rate hikes to tame inflation: January 20, 2029

Well, the government has a seven page memo on devolution and England and... there is a lot in there! Will add some thoughts, but the most striking thing is the pace. A lot of the serious reforms are due to come in April 2028 - this is not a gradual roadmap! www.gov.uk/government/p...
Rewiring the State – Cabinet Statement
This publication sets out this government's plan to fundamentally rewire the state by shifting power, funding and accountability from Whitehall to local leaders

Correct me if I'm incorrect but a true "patriot" of the UK would, you know, actually live in the UK and willingly pay their taxes to the UK rather than living in Monaco and the Caribbean.
1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.
Here's another example of the noxious trend we identify below: Stephen Miller claiming "all asylum claims" are "fake." What he really means is no asylum seeker is *worth caring about.* It's the same trick Musk uses with "zero" died from USAID cuts. (h/t @lastpositivist.bsky.social @mattortega.com)
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · last wk.The pattern is unmistakable: *Nobody died from USAID cuts. *Nobody killed by ICE is innocent. *No Muslim in the UK can escape the charge of being a rapist or a murderer. *No Somali in Minnesota is there legitimately by definition.

You might be shocked to hear Trump is blaming Biden for running out of missiles for his foolish war. Btw… How’s that ballroom coming along?! <smirks> 😎✨
Spent the weekend with union members (including some cool librarians organizing in Denver), community groups, immigrant leaders, student organizers & progressive elected officials at the @caworkingfamilies.bsky.social and @workingfamiliesco.bsky.social state conventions this weekend. (1/3)
Cutting money that provides food and health care but spending $300 million to permanently deploy the military to the streets of the capital in times of peace is tinpot dictator stuff

I'm hearing Bev Craig didn't turn up to the hustings in Greater Manchester this evening organised by the Forum of Muslim Organisations. After years of complicity in a genocide Labour won't even acknowledge, it's a great shame they couldn't even show up and explain themselves.
I think it harms Journalism that the message that the media has sent to us over the last several years is that no matter what a person does it’s impossible to credibly be sure that they are a Nazi.
Canadian life expectancy is 3.3 years longer, and our crime rate is a third of yours.
A "maybe trans people should have their own league?" take on the topic of trans people in sports. Thanks, Stephen A. Super fresh suggestion. No one's ever made it before. Totally new. 🫠

Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. And Ossoff is devastatingly good at this. But who else wanted him to shout out, “Just answer the f*cking question”?
“Don’t worry, Pete. That little speech I read was just for the voters back home. I have to put on these little shows to convince them I’m independent. You will get the $1.5 trillion for your wars even though I just gave ICE unlimited funding to run wild. We’ll just borrow more.”

“In Texas schools, religious lessons will join an already ideologically influenced curriculum that aims to create a passive student body, workforce, and citizenry. All Texans and all Americans, of any religious or political leaning, should be deeply alarmed.”

Students will learn that life circumstances are beyond their power to change. They will learn that their place in the economy and larger society should not be questioned.

The Trump admin WITHHELD that nearly 100 U.S. troops were injured by Iran in the past 2 weeks. 400+ Americans have been injured. 18 service members have been killed. It's a tremendous sacrifice. But Trump can't even explain how America is better off or how his war will end.
I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

When wetlands and landscapes disappear, the insects, animals, and birds do not simply move on. Many vanish quietly, habitat by habitat. Protecting such areas does not mean hindering progress; it means choosing a future where progress embraces nature rather than wiping it out.

A reminder from an 11th Circuit ruling, penned by the very conservative Chief Judge William Pryor in December 2023, STATES ADMINISTER ELECTIONS, NOT PRESIDENTS. The case was Mark Meadows trying to get his Fulton County case to federal court. media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...
For everyone hyping up Trump’s speech tonight like it’s going to be some kind of revolutionary proof of election fraud: Why is he saying it on national television and not to a grand jury? Why has nobody been charged with anything? Should be a slam dunk case, right?

Reminder: Todd Blanche was behind the corrupt $1.8 billion dollar slush fund for MAGA loyalists, he weaponized the DOJ to go after Americans, and he oversaw the botched release of the Epstein files. In no way shape or form is he qualified to be the next Attorney General.
