"according to a recording reviewed by The Post, Dobbins assured Hooker he would cover for him if Hooker killed 'in cold blood.' Dobbins used the n-word and a homophobic slur, bragged that he’d killed 13 people in his career," www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Great chart by Alisdair Rae. The most affluent voters now predominantly support the Lib Dems. Labour rules the most deprived constituencies.

No joke here (sorry): Homelessness in Finland is very low because they provide small apartments and mental health support without any conditions attached to it. 80% of those who use it get jobs , gain stable housing, and sobriety But thanks for the plastic trash can in NYC, Mayor Adams

I am very keen to see how Labour's gamble that the worst performing economy in the developed world, with no manufacturing base, no ability to build infrastructure and a weakening currency despite only exporting financial services, will suddenly grow massively will pan out.

I live by the sea. The province is cooking today, but where I am is 21° C or 70°F. About 2km from here, or 1.25 miles, it is apparently 29° C or 85F, with a “feels like” of 31/88. So, I’m eating and hydrating before I bike there. No way am I walking today if it’s scorching on concrete.

Tell me I'm wrong: A bunch of the media and donor class panicked, for good reason, after the debate. Made a big coordinated push to make Biden step aside. Didn't work, wounding pride of lots of big egos. Now too miffed to concede so stuck denying that Biden can win to justify continued aid to Trump.

I’ve been critical of Attal and his rhetoric over the last 3.5 weeks: but if the RN loses on Sunday, he should be remembered as the one in the Macronist bloc who maneuvered to avoid the president’s bonkers gamble result in a far-right government.

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

I love when people acknowledge that Dems have a turnout problem, but then insist that the leadership shouldn't take a stronger stance on critical issues. Do they really think that it's the centrist voters that are staying home because Hillary and Joe are just too radical for them?

According to Savannah UK, three quarters (73%) of the UK public say the biggest factor behind Labour's landslide victory was wanting the end of a Conservative government, rather than a desire for a Labour government. So Keir Starmer shouldn't flatter himself. He's got a mandate built on sand.

Trump's supporters pre-Jan 6 spent months sharing blueprints for guillotines and gallows, planning chemical weapons attacks on the tunnels beneath the white house, and discussing the most painful ways to kill Pence, Pelosi, and Schiff. Trump egged them on. I personally don't want round 2.

I do think if Team Biden decides he’s not up for it (which I sincerely doubt), he should resign and let Kamala become President immediately.

Here’s the thing: you still have a much larger, better audience on Twitter than here. I know this because I’ve spent a lot of time trying to raise money from liberals and I raise maybe 100% more from Twitter than Bluesky.

It's not the worst of it, but what I may be actually angriest about (right now) is Roberts' smarmy smugness and dismissiveness in the final two paragraphs of section IV and the whole of section V. "Fear mongering," "extreme hypotheticals," "our perspective must be more farsighted," and this.

Merrick Garland has so much to answer for. This decision would not have turned out this way if the prosecution had come in 2021, when Trump’s re-election didn’t seem imminent. They’re deciding this way because they think he’s coming back.

🚨New expert survey data from Bright Line Watch🚨 93% of experts surveyed before the ruling (starting June 20) say that SCOTUS upholding Trump’s immunity claim threatens democracy 60% say it represents an extraordinary threat 27% say it represents a serious threat (Full report coming next week.)

Y'all are being so overly concerned. Remember when SCOTUS ruled on Citizens United, and everyone was worried that it would critically harm democracy? Or when people said that overturning Roe would lead to a huge health crisis for women? *finger to ear* I am being told to shut the fuck up now
