Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵
BREAKING: EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS.
Senator Mark Kelly just completely torched Donald Trump:
"When Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into bankruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Donald Trump said that the collapse of the Twin Towers now meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 911 victims into space on a rocket ship. In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster, Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who died when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry. In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show, and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a gunshot wound to the head."
@Keir_Starmer Wrong! It is not driven by criminal gangs. It’s driven by people wanting to come here. Roll out ID cards and stop the grey economy and it will not be a place they will want to come to!!
"£104bn of water industry investment will come from bill payers, environment secretary concedes."
And there we finally have it, there is no "£104 billion of private sector investment". Question is how long has the SoS known this and why has he kept repeating that myth?
Well done @SamCoatesSky for getting to the truth.

Vital time was lost. International examples were available. The government didn’t just fail to act, it actively chose not to listen.
People died because they didn’t take the virus seriously enough, fast enough and because those in power thought they knew best.
4/5
@Ed_Miliband None of what you say is true. The bills will be higher, there will be hardly any jobs, certainly not good jobs and will not affect climate change one bit. We will be the laughing stock of the developed world!!!
Bruce Springsteen: Donald Trump is the most dangerous presidential candidate in my lifetime. His disdain for the sanctity of our Constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law, and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him for office
Holy shit! Bruce Springsteen, with one of the most eloquent endorsements for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz you'll hear. The Boss also delivered one of the strongest repudiations of the loathsome piece of shit I've heard from anyone. Let's fucking go‼️🙌🌊🇺🇸
People need to get their heads around the fact that our politicians from all parties aren’t serving us. They are serving themselves and the corporations who either lobby them or fund them. We will only get real change when we have politicians who are genuine public servants.
