Musk opened with ambitions of $1 trillion in cuts. Then $150 billion. Then the website tracker quietly filled with contested figures, corrected errors and projected ceilings. (Factually) The goalposts didn't move. They were launched into orbit. #r4today
In August 2024, Trump promised Musk and Lutnick would eliminate the federal deficit through #DOGE. August 2026: how's that going? 🧵
All that #AIPAC money couldn’t buy off the voters of #Michigan. “Huge congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed for winning the Democratic primary to become our nominee to be Michigan’s next US Senator.” - Mallory McMorrow. #AbdulElSayed @nbcnews.com

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed
The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

There’s a message here for the DNC but I’m not sure they even want to learn it. #AIPAC #Michigan #ElSayed

It's tragic & funny that #ThamesValleyPolice & #PoliceFederation don't know how law or court system works. #PCHarper killers were guilty of manslaughter not murder so they got 13 years fixed sentence. So if Gov pass a law saying after X% of sentence prisoners are released they get out. #r4today
A terrible sight but seriously what did Americans expect? He destroys everything he gets his hands on. #WhiteHouse #Ballroom
Ricky Davila@therickydavila.bsky.social · 12h agoThis is a new view of the bulldozed White House complex. The criminal monstrosity subhuman filth won’t stop until he destroys everything, makes me sick to my stomach.
The same people who have been telling us "we can't stop climate change, instead we must adapt" have been hammering our capacity to adapt, through their promotion of austerity. What they're really saying is "keep burning fossil fuels for the sake of our donors". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I Am Incorrigible@imincorrigible.bsky.social · 2d agoHave you ever noticed how when #r4today does the "business news" it is almost always & entirely from the perspective of business owners & the c-suite. It is almost never from the pov of employees or trade unions. That drives a false narrative about who is responsible for the UKs economic growth.
A week is a long time in #FIFA politics. Trump is asked about his contact with Gianni Infantino and immediately asks, “Who?” #Infantino #r4today
This isn't anecdote. A Cardiff University content analysis found that on BBC News at Six, business representatives outnumbered trade union spokespeople by 5:1 in 2007, and by 19:1 in 2012. (New Statesman) It's been baked in for decades. #r4today
How far has the Conservative Party sunk that this is seen as acceptable by the leadership? They used to be the Government only two years ago, and now they’re running candidates of this calibre. #r4today #KemiBadenoch

What could go wrong?Reform’s plans for ‘Making Britain Great Again’ involve going to war with France, like the old days. “If the French government declined to accept the returns, Reform’s home affairs spokesperson, Zia Yusuf, said the marines would return them anyway to the French coast.” #r4today
Is Reform UK’s plan to use the navy to stop small boat crossings feasible?
Nigel Farage says he would use the military in the Channel but there are questions about whether the plan would work

The Mean Girls vibe to this is delicious. “He just stated he said to me yesterday ‘Shall we have a call?’. Sadly, that is just a lie…Nigel messaged me, saying the following three words. ‘Will call later’…I have received no call. Senior Reform figures then went public to rubbish my offer.” #r4today
Rupert Lowe accuses Farage of 'outright lying' over pact offer

Sorry but unless you, as a media outlet, have managed to get someone from the Navy (probably a former sailor because those currently serving maybe disbarred from commenting) to explain that this is extremely unlikely to happen for legal reasons, then, arguably, you haven't really done your job.
Politics latest: Reform wants to use Navy to stop small boats after Burnham vows to be 'relentless' in tackling crossings
Reform UK says a Nigel Farage-led government would send the Royal Navy into the Channel to intercept all migrant boats - and is accused by Labour of "reheating" old proposals. Follow the latest.
