No, Elon: it was because the conquest of Egypt (in particular) suddenly made a few Romans so unprecedentedly rich and powerful that they destroyed the Roman Republic.

🚨Holy shit. Donald Trump just ruined any chance for Republicans to win the midterms. “TRUMP: “I don't want to hear about affordability.” That quote should haunt Republicans all the way to Election Day. #RepublicansStarveUs

Republicans are losing because they can't run on their record. They can't run on covering up the Epstein files. They can't run on cutting Medicaid. They can't run on stripping SNAP or imposing tariffs. Americans see what is happening - and we are hungry for change.

Shocking living conditions. Wretched food. Suicide attempts. Life on the USS Lincoln, eight months after it sailed for Iran, is horrific, say families of officers on board. So why is Trump saying it's great, and deployment should last even longer? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

Families of US naval officers deployed to the Strait of Hormuz in December 2025 have begun to expose the shocking conditions onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, eight months after leaving port. Trump…

This image of Zuckerberg's yacht symbolizes America's obscene oligarchic wealth. In a country where 48M people are food-insecure and 27M Americans have no health insurance, such disparities are intolerable. Remember the Republican tax cuts for the rich that made this possible when you vote.

Jonathan you are a Pratt. A Pratt who thinks he’s far smarter than he is. And moreover a Pratt who doesn’t understand or support the essential principle of Academic Freedom. I see little point in engaging with you further.

Your regular reminder that if not for the Trump and Bush tax cuts, federal revenues would keep pace with federal spending indefinitely. Instead, these tax cuts have added at least $10 trillion to the debt. The so called "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

Zia is right, Westminster has run on who you know and what school you went to - which is why it's full of privately educated entitled pricks like Zia, me, Richard Tice, Danny Kruger, Robert Jenrick, Suella Braverman, Sarah Pochin...

A record-setting tornado season is in full force across the Midwest. And thanks to Trump, recovering from it will be harder than ever before.

Remembering is an act of responsibility. This week at City Hall, we marked the International Day for the Remembrance of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and its Abolition, bringing together those preserving the memory of its victims and those helping Londoners understand its lasting legacy.

He is "losing the room", but once again, this MAGAt only cared when it finally personally affected him. He didn't care about endless traitorous, murderous, racist, sexist shit. Conservatives suck at empathy, and it's why they're all assholes.

Not sure what Trump thinks are the benefits of being a state. Certainly not healthcare, food protection, equality laws etc etc

1/ Thanks @monkemma.bsky.social this is so important. Makes me wonder what have we really learned as a sector other than media is awfully cruel? I’ve personally experienced some colleagues that I considered close being particularly cold & distancing themselves at times when I needed their support.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

2026 will be hotter than 2025..and 2027 will be hotter still. A huge “Godzilla” El Niño will amplify the heat. This is not simply a natural phenomenon. El Niño now unfolds on top of a planet already profoundly warmed by human activity. Global warming has raised the starting line. We are so fucked 🤬

HG Wells is alleged to have remarked "Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race”. You could see this shocking chart as an index of civilisation. A country which gets this issue so badly wrong is likely to fail in many other ways.

Shocking.

A “hyperscale” datacentre in outer London would generate more than 1m tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. Not compatible with Net Zero. What devolution/democracy? Local councils bypassed, people ignored by Ministers chasing growth. Datacentres produce few long-term jobs, guzzle energy.
