@VanAmeyde I have just sent sixth email request for an update on a claim you are handling for Avis. I have also sent the contact form on your website. No response. How can I get an update?
Trump has now reaffirmed his plan to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. For the record that department funds, among other things, all the special education and special needs program in public schools and public colleges in all 50 states.
They’re gonna deport children who were born here in the interest of “national security”, but the guy who kept our nuclear secrets in his fucking bathroom gets to be president.
They get £342 per day just for turning up but don't pay one penny of tax. If they paid their share it would cover the winter fuel allowance for Scotland's pensioners. Tomorrow I will bring amendments to make them pay as well as abolishing the whole circus. https://t.co/lMJM7SMkbd
@RoryStewartUK Democrat senators comfortably won in swing states yet Kamala narrowly lost, it's a strange thing that will be studied for the next 4 years I assume.
Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.
The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

BREAKING: Trump is reportedly weighing a national emergency to deploy the military for migrant detention and removal.
Here's the reality check, Mr. Trump:
The Posse Comitatus Act doesn’t vanish because you want it to. This law explicitly forbids using the military for domestic law enforcement—including immigration enforcement—unless Congress says otherwise. You can't just wave a magic wand and throw military power at civil issues, especially not on American soil and without authorization. The checks and balances are there for a reason.
This is not a joke.
You should very much consider Elon Musk and Peter Thiel to be co-Presidents of the United States.
You will not understand how they have become the first trillionaires on Earth, or a significant chunk of our domestic or foreign policy, if you do not get this.
But he’ll try.
The fascist playbook is that when *you* cause pain to poor/working-class whites and the middle class, you first blame foreigners.
Then racial and ethnic minorities. And Jews. Then dissidents. Then women.
MAGA will run through *all* of us before it gets to *him*.
I have a friend. His mother is an undocumented immigrant. He admitted today that he voted for Trump due to concerns about inflation.
I just don't even know what to say anymore: he's college educated, but he still thinks Trump wasn't talking about his mom.
For those asking… Tesla market cap has increased by $110 billion today since Trump’s re election this morning… which would mean that Elon Musk’s 13% stake is worth $14 billion more today than yesterday….
