Boardwalk Empire would be the best show on television if it came out today. I try to consistently post about this series because Boardwalk appears to be falling through the cracks of history, in large part because this came out around the same time as shows like Breaking Bad, Mad Men & True Detective. But this show- and this cast- is as good as television gets. This is worth your time, folks.
I'm not sure this is sustainable. Farage says he'd be put "in danger" by saying how much of his £5m has been spent on security. "It's not the public's business."
But people do want to know who is bankrolling politicians. Esp if it's crypto money. https://t.co/7ZyZOF2Bi0
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.

LORD OF THE FLIES (Netflix): I had my doubts, but it's remarkable. Captures all the horror and mystery of lost children descending into...well, you decide.
President Trump is constrained by markets and munitions to find an off ramp in the war with Iran. Thus far, our tactical successes have come at the cost of strategic failure. See below for my conversation with @FareedZakaria
In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.
Three-time Trump voter: I voted for Trump, but I really want to apologize. I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. All this man does is tell lies. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I just want to apologize to everybody in the country for supporting this rotten, rotten man.
Tucker: My understanding is that AIPAC lobbies on behalf of the Israeli government.
Cruz: Wrong.
Tucker: When was the last time AIPAC took a position that deviated from Netanyahu’s?
Cruz: All the time.
Tucker: Name one.

Sexy Beast is an all-time personal favorite film. I love this movie’s story, how this film is edited, and its insanely unpredictable conclusion. But out of all the things I love about Sexy Beast, the acting is what I love the most. Ben Kingsley & Ray Winston are iconic here.
NEW: Signal has never been permitted on White House or Pentagon devices, but incoming Trump officials started using it when the Trump-Vance transition refused government IT help to avoid record-keeping laws and kept using it after Inauguration Day. https://t.co/XxvL7Y7BZm
“I would prefer raise the rate of income tax… freezing the threshold means the lowest earners get drawn into tax.”
Labour made a “silly promise” forcing themselves to push the tax burden onto the poorest, says former conservative chancellor @KenClarkeMP.
