I get that the media is slow to catch up with things. I'm in the media, I am slow to catch up with things. But the week Reform's crowd looks like this, the BBC chooses _this week_ to go live to Farage's endless remarks on the budget; makes absolutely no sense

Adam Bienkov@adambienkov.bsky.social

By all accounts this is what most of the recent Reform media events have looked like. Bubble well and truly burst

We stopped specifically honouring Armistice Day … that is the 11th November … a long time ago, instead focusing on Remembrance Sunday; the nearest one to the 11th which is the 8th November this year. Jenrick is just a performative opportunist with no respect for anything or anybody, but himself.

Nick Robinson just asked John Curtice if the BBC giving a platform to Farage & Reform was responsible for their popularity; presumably hoping to hear the polling guru say a resounding "no". Instead, Curtice said, "it's not just that, it's also how he uses it" So the answer's clearly yes. #r4today

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

This really is quite something. Democracy isn’t dead yet.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

#nmleg passed a bill making it illegal to station troops — including armed ICE agents — at polling places According to Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver, "An ICE agent is the same as any other unauthorized individual at a polling location, and the same protocols should be followed"

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

Trump's financial disclosures show over 21,000 stock trades in 2025, including bursts around major tariff announcements. Conveniently, the proposed Stop Insider Stock Trading Act exempted the president from its own trading ban.

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

Trump: "Why do we always have to take people from shit house countries? We can't we take people from Norway and Sweden and Denmark? By the way, Denmark gave us Greenland ... what do you take, Venezuela or Greenland? We got them both!"

I have a friend who is a social worker doing the same work as this social worker. She has also told me stories of women like Amy Acton's mother.

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

BREAKING: The DOJ sued to effectively force Alaska to set aside the results of the 2026 Senate race if anyone other than Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan wins. The lawsuit comes after the DOJ also sued California preemptively challenging the vote there.
