There is zero reason to not take Trump at his word that he and his team are planning sonething alarming to disrupt the midterms and beyond.

Trump’s bombing hard tonight and I don’t mean Tehran.

People of Clacton, this is your time: vote @CountBinface !

The tactic is clear:

Bulldoze the various investigations into his finances.

Recapture the limelight just as Burnham becomes Prime Minister.

Win a likely victory to try and regain momentum for Reform UK after a rocky two months.

[Robert Peston @Peston]

Nigel Farage says he will resign as a member of parliament for Clacton on Sea. And he will then ask the people of Clacton to judge him in the ensuing by-election.

He hopes in that way to kill parliament’s investigation into whether he breached disclosure rules relating to Christopher Harborne’s £5m gift to him.

He wants to frame parliament’s disciplinary action against him and media investigations into him as dirty tricks, to undermine him and Reform.

High risk for him and Reform.

I know we’re mostly inured to Donald Trump’s disregard for institutional norms and proprieties, but pre-announcing the resignation of the prime minister of America’s supposedly most important ally is pretty extreme, even by his standards. UK ministers are genuinely and understandably shocked

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

One day after the U.S. signed a deal with the Islamic Republic، the regime in Iran, handed Parastoo Ahmadi 74 lashes for singing on YouTube.

They call America the Great Satan. And then they flew to the table and signed a deal with the «Devil«. But a woman’s voice scared them more than any superpower ever could.

A regime that whips women for showing their hair and singing, there’s not a normal government.
This is called apartheid against women.

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.

At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

‘My wife and I were greatly saddened to learn of the death of David Hockney O.M., a giant of the world of art and painting, a Yorkshireman through and through and a dear friend and inspiration to so many.

David was one of life’s true originals; one who wore his genius as lightly as those beloved yellow Crocs of his that helped brighten Palace occasions. I trust they will see him tread safely into the hereafter as we mourn a man whose irrepressible charm, talent and constant innovation will be most sorely missed, but whose dazzling creativity lives on in galleries and museums around the world.’

It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.

JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

I’m glad the president did well on the MOCA exam, but it’s a dementia screening tool, not an IQ test, so a score of 26 or higher represents normal cognitive performance, not extreme intelligence. None of the questions are high difficulty.

[Selina Wang @selinawangtv]

I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots. It sounded like dozens of gunshots. We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now.
