In a leaked recording, Lowe can be heard remarking on the size of the camera being prepared to take footage of him. “In days gone by you’d call it a Jewish camera, but that would be politically incorrect. Because it’s so small,” Lowe said.

In 2025, Donald Trump cut aid to South Africa back in February & then ambushed post-apartheid South African Pres. Cyril Ramaphosa with right-wing allegations of genocide against country’s White minority that are not backed by evidence.

Labour would become aligned with the pursuit of progressive causes. In the 20th century it had drawn much of its support from workers in the factories, coal mines, steel works and shipyards of industrial Britain.

.@RoKhanna opposition to Trump-backed #UAE AI data center deal underscores need to prioritize U.S. workers & innovation. Dubai’s gain is America’s loss, as sensitive technology flows abroad. Congress must safeguard our AI ecosystem.

The Department of Education was founded so that every child could get a quality education — regardless of zip code.

This administration seeks to shutter it.

I KID YOU NOT, Elon Musk is literally staring at the South African President like he wants to fight him.

BREAKING: Trump just fat-shamed JB Pritzker and then called him the worst governor in America.

Make no mistake: Trump doesn’t hate JB because he’s bad - he hates him because JB actually does his job. He leads. He fixes. While Trump whines, grifts, and ruins. Cry harder, Donald.
