Some good news. For a change! #politics

Polymarket has millions of dollars in wildfire-related bets & more than $1M in beds were placed on the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires! DESPICABLE! THE PREDICTION MARKET PROMOTES THE OBSTRUCTION FIREFIGHTERS OR FOLKS TO GO OUT AND COMMIT ARSON! It's absolutely nuts!

There is no way that betting on wildfires should be legal. www.oregonlive.com/wildfires/20...

Name the Moon crater made by the SpaceX crash after Elon Musk.

The picture on the front of Reform's policy is of HMS Ocean on the River Thames in 2012. It was sold by to the Brazilian navy in 2018. Turns out you can judge a book by its cover.

The next time a climate change denier comes at you with that excuse:

Once the man of the hour, could strong arm Boris Johnson into devious deals, and in with Trump. Now facing a bin election and considering allying with Rupert Lowe. There's always TB, Nige.

Two weeks of Andy Burnham as prime minister is all it's taken for Farage to start considering teaming up with Rupert Lowe again.

I agree, sadly this is a real movement now. If he goes someone else will come along to lead the movement

I don't think that he was ever meant to actually gain power- possibly why the papers are now turning (it would have been chaos). He was there to significantly move the 'Overton window' to the right - at which, with Starmer et al's help, he has certainly succeeded.

I thought Rod Liddle was a far right wife-beating jerk.

I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

The President promotes Scotts Miracle-Gro in the middle of an Oval Office event: The best grass you can get. Scotts, you know Scotts? Scott's Miracle-Gro, they're doing it. They do great grass. I got to give him a plug because they did the White House for free.

A Texas city allegedly paid a family farm $10 in exchange for land meant to be used for a park and then sold the land to a data center developer for $10 million.The family is now suing for the deed to be honored and the park to be built.

I was under the impression that presidents were not allowed to do stuff like that....

CARTOON OF THE DAY (if you know who made this let us know)

What the hell is the BBC 6pm news doing leading with Farage's clickbait about using the Royal Navy to stop immigrants? An absurd soundbite from a tiny party with a disgraced leader and that's the most important news in the UK today? Dear God. The rot has truly gone deep.

Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

So there was a deal for Farage to return to politics. So he did need to report the massive payments. Off you fuck Nigel.

Daily reminder that we don’t have a president. We have a mob boss masquerading as one.

Warning: the President of the United States is kidnapping American citizens off the streets of blue states. Some of them return —most do not. Some are murdered in concentration camps owned by the President’s cronies. All of it is one big fat crime. None of our electeds will stop him. Will you?

“The president and first lady seemed totally unfazed about whether there was an abuser—another abuser—in their workplace. There was no follow-up from either of them to see if I needed help or protection. There was no investigation ordered. No effort to get to the bottom of this ....

Nigel Farage told The Sun he can't be bought by anyone... He was literally bought and said 'Up the Ra' for £80.

But that would mean I already knew I was going back into politics when I accepted the £5 million, so I'd have been lying when I said I didn't need to declare it.

Heed the warning.

'Anti-ICE extremist' did nothing illegal. "[Erik] Davis... attended & facilitated meetings about protests & discussed his ‘anti-authoritarian’ ideology.... He is not accused of violent acts, ...specific actions at protests or having encounters with ICE agents." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The professor facing prison in ‘antifa’ case: ‘They want to scare all who oppose ICE’

Erik Davis is accused by the government of a ‘conspiracy’ to obstruct ICE – experts say it’s part of a pattern to criminalize lawful organizing and ruin activists’ lives

TO RECAP: - Prez paid his corrupt friend millions to turn Reflecting Pool blue, it turned green - matting came loose - so he arrested an Olympic athlete and 6 other innocent Americans and tried to pin it on them - all his cronies lied that these people as vandals - case dismissed on zero evidence

Even if Farage loses to Binface, you can't write him off and he's being potentially brought down over dodgy payments, not stochastic terrorism. Liz Truss GHU still a darling of Bannon's international ultra conservative jalopy, Nigel will remain so too.
