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.

In the last 48 hours I’ve been deluged with 100s of vile, misogynistic tweets and death threats. Why? For doing my job: asking @ZiaYusufUK questions about claims by @Nigel_Farage of 2-tier policing. I spoke about this on tonight’s show. Enough is enough. https://t.co/SSHiAI3Umc

@PrimeVideoIN I am concerned about the number of ads shown despite my active subscription. The frequent advertisements disrupt the viewing experience and reduce the value of the service.
As a paying subscriber, I request that you improve the ad experience for subscribers.

[Signius @SigniusNetworks]

@AmazonUK not satisfied with turning @PrimeVideo into an advert ridden shitfest they want to send the duxking adverts to your phone now as well.

Companies not satisfied with us paying dor the service already they want us to then pay extra to un-shittyfy it from adverts.

[Mark Taylor @markjwt]

Trying to watch a film (Mercy) on amazon. I pay for prime, and yet I've endured over 10 mins of adverts 40 mins into it. Canceled my prime subscription. It's just not worth it @amazon. This whole digital life (subscription based) if rubbish. Looking at sacking

When someone shows you who they really are, take notice.

Henry Nowak's father outside court yesterday: "We do not want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension."

"I don't have any conscious memory of seeing that motorhome"

Former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says the camper van bought by her former husband Peter Murrell was not "immediately visible" when visiting her in-laws as it "was round the side of the house"

[Al Murray 🇺🇦 @almurray]

How can you not love this scandal?

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

By the end of Trump’s term, it’ll be just enough to buy one gallon of gas and a carton of eggs.

It’s humiliating

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Elon continues to falsely call Hitler a “socialist”, and Grok continues to correct him, explaining that Hitler was a fascist who rejected Marxist socialism and class struggle.

Never deleting this app!

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

This is amazing.

The New York Times put together a graphic of how much time cabinet members spend kissing up to Trump in meetings.

"On average, at least one of every six sentences either flattered Mr. Trump, gave him credit or criticized his political opponents."

North Korea.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:

- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%

- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)

- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds

- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)

- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility

- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium

- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains

- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules

- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years

- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years

Ooops, sorry!

That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

How it’s started. How it’s going.

This is tremendously detailed and courageous war reportage by Nick Paton Walsh & his @CNN crew.

Drone warfare is the horrifying, mind bending new wave of combat. (Better link here)
