For 7 years Meghan was the "heartless daughter”… She stayed silent while our disgusting press gave her endless abuse And probably because she trusted the Met to do its job …and somehow she's still the one getting the blame?!

The toilets on my train aren’t working but if you need to go, let the guard know & they’ll hold the train while you do your business in Leamington Spa. I feel like I’m in a Victoria Wood song.

I guess that, unlike with Brexit where daft fantasy seems endlessly sustainable, Trump’s awfulness becomes objectively undeniable at some point. Notable how many reverse ferrets involve zero self-examination or remorse. This is very good…

Todd Blanche and this corrupt administration are already planning to play games with the election. Apparently, old habits die hard because this man is still acting like Trump’s personal attorney. Our democracy does not belong to Trump and his sellout friends. It belongs to the people.

NBC News@nbcnews.com

Attorney General Todd Blanche leaves open the possibility that the Justice Department could seek to block states from certifying votes in the midterm elections, though Blanche insists it wasn’t his intention to “improperly interfere with elections.”

nbcnews.toBlanche won’t rule out DOJ post-election action in a ‘doomsday’ scenarioThe attorney general’s comments come in the middle of a broader campaign by the Trump administration to zero in on what elections experts say is a relatively rare phenomenon of voting by noncitizens.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social and Littlejohn must really get on well with the affectionate way they speak about each other, although I get the feeling one of them is thin skinned and the other one has a morning radio show

We were too spineless to regulate these billionaire freaks, so now one of them gets to decide whether Ukrainian drones can catch the missiles aimed at Ukrainian kids. We have failed spectacularly.

The slithering back to even vaguely positive or optimistic analyses of Trump’s second term after the abominations of January 6th cleared the way for today’s abject betrayal of the Ukrainian people. It’s astonishing how many public figures on both sides of the Atlantic are complicit in the crime.

In less than a week, Trump’s newest lying mouthpiece was fired. She was never an attorney. She never passed the bar, and from what we’ve seen, reading seems to be a struggle for her too. As a licensed attorney, I had to earn my credentials. The American people deserve QUALIFIED public servants.

How has the world come to this? As @iandunt.bsky.social put it: "Neither the US government nor a tech billionaire should be able to dictate the fortunes of a European war. This was another sign, if one was needed, that Europe urgently needs to develop its own alternatives."
