WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged

"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."

"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.

🛑 Scandal: US Senator Jon Ossoff exposes Kushner:
"Kushner — Ivanka Trump’s husband — is on Mohammed bin Salman’s payroll. Two billion dollars. Did you know that? He works for the East, takes money from sheikhs, princes, and kings — and dares to accuse others of corruption." 🇺🇸🔥🇸🇦💰🎭💥

The UK is spending £369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has £22bn and gets £500m more a year.

He can pay for his own renovations, £369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country.

Netanyahu: "Did the Nazis politely ask Jews to leave? Did they say 'Please go'? 'Step out so we can move in'? Of course not."
By saying this, he confessed with his own mouth — he is the Nazi now. 🔥🇮🇱🎙️💀
Perfect projection. 😈🎭

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."

The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.

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

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths children.

Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.

A message to JD Vance from Britain:

Even if you stopped your ICE Gestapo from murdering US citizens

Even if you learned that guns = dead kids

Even if Trump wasn't a rapist

We still wouldn't care about your opinion, you backwards, guyliner wearing, hillbilly couch fucker.

A building in Dorking, Surrey, has been demolished, and with it, what may have been the largest known Swift colony in the area.

Please sign the petition. Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner must hold the police to account for failing to protect Swifts - https://t.co/p8rUfrSOLx

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

No, Camilla. @ZackPolanski & over 60 politicians, human rights lawyers + others are not calling for a “list of Jews”. They are supporting a letter asking the UK Govt to secondary screen returning dual nationals & Britons who have served with the IDF since Oct’23. The aim is to find out whether they have fought in Gaza. This is bec Israel is accused of Genocide at the ICJ. It would fulfill the UK’s commitment to the Genocide Conventions. You appear to be defending Polanski being called “human trash” by Goldsmith. Is that the case?

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

A few people not quite getting the point saying "but you recommeded Quotum". Of course I didn't, I don't do adverts. This was a fake news story by scammers (ie organised crime) pretending to report me saying something on the TV!

Up to 22 Swift nests were destroyed during demolition works carried out by Northeast Demolition UK on behalf of Hill Group and Clarion Housing. Conservationists have described this as a significant wildlife crime. Surrey Police had been warned that Swifts were actively nesting.

Fiona Bruce, "The question asked most by the audience about your Robert Kenyon was about comments you've made in particular about women"

Lady in maroon, "I'd rather have a career politician than a plumber who is a sexist"

Fiona Bruce, "You may not be aware of the things Robert Kenyon said in the past"

"You described yourself as a sexist"

Robert Kenyon, "Allegedly"

Fiona Bruce, "You're denying that you said that?"

Robert Kenyon, "No no no, some of the things are"

Fiona Bruce, "Ok, you described yourself as a sexist"

"You have made offensive comments about women, you've admitted that"

"You've also said abortion is a cowardly act, of murdering defenceless babies so women can shag anyone they want"

"That's your phrase not mine"

"I'm raising it because lots of people in the audience are raising it"

Robert Kenyon, "I'll address those questions. I won't accept that label"

*Then tries to explain why his past sexist comments do not make him sexist*

The Guga hunters say they have the utmost care and respect for the Gannets they kill. But watch this footage and decide for yourself whether these birds are being treated with dignity or with complete disregard. This is a completely needless waste of life.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨WHERE IS THE MEDIA??

Trump just said the number 25,000 is bigger than a MILLION. The decline of his brain is now catastrophic.

“Where Martin Luther King made his great speech…he had a million people and I had 25,000 people. I had more people.” Wow.
