Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.

#BA #BritishAirways you've done it again... no matter how poorly you perform on a flight, you manage to sink lower the next time. Quite probably one of #theworstairlinesintheworld. Budget Airways would be more honest.

#BritishAirways AVOID BA AND TERMINAL 5. I HAVE GIVEN BA 1, 2, 3 SECOND CHANCES.. NEVER AGAIN. WHAT A TOTAL SHIT SHOW. NON WORKING BAGGAGE SYSTEM. CRAPPY OLD BEA PLANE. DELAYS FOR 1 HR+ . UTTER SHITE. NOT SUPRISING NEVER SEE ADVERTS ABOUT THE NATIONS FAVOURITE AIRLINE COS THEY AIN'T.

Most of us had assumed, I think, that the Anchorage summit ended early because the sides couldn’t agree on much. Turns out Putin just decided to quit while he was ahead. The ball is now in Europe’s court.

Happy Friday to everyone who might be concerned that he has possession of the nuclear codes, blames the messenger for tanking the economy & would gladly pardon a monster to save his own thin orange skin.

Donald Trump employed Virginia Giuffre, as a minor, in his "spa" at Mar-a-Lago. Today Trump expressed his anger at Jeffrey Epstein – not for Epstein trafficking Giuffre and raping her, but because Epstein "stole" her from Trump. Dwell on these things.

3 months ago today we killed 34 civilians attending an Easter church service in Sumy cos we defend Christian values. You have imposed no meaningful consequences upon us. This means you permit it. It's why we keep doing it.

The Kremlin complains about Trump’s decision to resume arms deliveries to Ukraine, with Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claiming it “does not contribute to peace.” Get out of Ukraine, and here you have your peace, freak Dmitry.

OTD in 1996, as per the Budapest memo guaranteeing their territorial integrity, Ukraine handed their final nuclear warhead to Russia. They also gave heavy bombers (Tu-22) and 1,068 Kh-55 cruise missiles. Which have been fired at Ukraine in this war

Almost everywhere you look - soil, oceans, forests, stoves, other tech - the carbon credits market is fatally compromised by junk science, over-claiming and imperatives of profit. The "market" (a term used as code for financialisation and economic power) is not going to solve our existential crisis.

@altagliabue.bsky.social making a presentation at @ucl.ac.uk telling us that ocean iron fertilization won’t do jack for climate and will further harm fisheries. Yet, it’s the marine CO₂ removal (mCDR) method that has sold the most credits so far. 🤷🏻‍♂️

To all those accusing me (again 🙄) of being a NIMBY: Given that the government's own analysis shows environmental protection doesn't impede housebuilding, kindly explain how trashing wildlife and habitats will take us any closer to getting the homes we need? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

theguardian.comLabour has denounced me as ‘deeply misleading’ on its planning reform. I wish that were true | George MonbiotEven it now admits that brick by brick, these proposals will wreck habitats. This could be Starmer’s most damaging mistake yet, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Here we are entering drought conditions and these idiots want to destroy the very basic building block of life.

Europe was presented with the US peace deal proposal for Ukraine in Paris, Bloomberg reports. The details: * Russia retains the parts of Ukraine it has invaded * Ukraine’s NATO aspirations off the table * sanctions against Russia cancelled in the event of a lasting peace 100% Russia.
