MAGA Americans keep telling us England is a dystopian hellscape and London is apparently one step away from Mad Max, despite most of them never having been here.

Meanwhile, England and Wales have just recorded their lowest homicide rate in almost 50 years, lower than every single US state.

But please, do carry on explaining Britain to us from 4,000 miles away. 🇬🇧😂

BREAKING: Trump's $10 billion BBC lawsuit is BACKFIRING BIGLY and may force Special Prosecutor Jack Smith's January 6 evidence back into the courtroom

After making $16 million from Paramount/CBS to settle one of his frivolous lawsuits, Donald Trump figured he could keep suing media companies and rake in the dough from corporate CEOs who would rather give in than face a protracted and expensive legal fight.

But Trump got greedy and wanted a $10 billion payday from his next target, Britain’s venerable public broadcaster, the BBC.

What he's getting instead is a legal nightmare of his own making.

Trump sued the BBC last December, claiming a documentary on their news program Panorama, "put words in his mouth" by editing together portions of his January 6th speech delivered nearly 50 minutes apart.

He even bizarrely claimed the network used AI to fabricate his words — it didn't. The BBC did splice the footage, which sparked an internal investigation, the firing of some senior officials at the broadcaster, and the issuing of a written apology.

An apology simply wasn't enough for Trump, however. He still wanted that $10 billion.

Now his lawsuit against the British broadcaster is unraveling spectacularly.

A federal judge ruled this week that Trump must hand over detailed financial records from more than 400 companies tied to his family trust — because HIS OWN lawsuit claims the BBC's editing damaged his businesses.

You can't claim massive financial injury and then refuse to show your books. Judge Enjoliqué Lett wasn't buying the attempted dodge: "All of President Trump's brand, properties and businesses are impugned... Reputational, economic damages, all of that is now at issue in this case."

It gets worse. The same judge greenlit subpoenas targeting Trump's inner circle — Donald Trump Jr., Steve Bannon, and Stephen Miller — to determine what Trump actually intended on January 6th.

And now, in a third gut-punch within 24 hours, the BBC is demanding records showing exactly how Trump LOST his executive privilege claims during Special Prosecutor Jack Smith's January 6th investigation.

Smith's team had already gathered evidence establishing that the Capitol violence was "foreseeable" to Trump, that he "caused it," and that he made "a conscious choice not to stop it" once it began. If the BBC gets that evidence, Trump's entire defamation case collapses.

Trump built a career suing media outlets into silence. This time, he sued an organization willing to actually fight — and in doing so, handed prosecutors a roadmap straight into his finances, his inner circle, and his own conduct on January 6th.

Plus, the public may get another chance to review the evidence that Jack Smith amassed against Trump, evidence that judges appointed by the litigious president have made sure that he’ll never be held accountable for.

Sometimes a lawsuit is simply a trap you built for yourself.

BREAKING: In a stunning and deeply alarming move, the Postmaster General has announced that the USPS will REFUSE to deliver mail-in ballots for the 2026 midterm elections to any state that does not comply with Donald Trump’s so-called “election integrity” executive order.

Let that sink in.

This is a direct attack on voting rights and a blatant attempt to strong-arm states into submission by threatening Americans’ access to the ballot box.

The Postal Service….an institution meant to serve EVERYONE—is now being weaponized to influence elections.
Democracy is not optional. Voting is not conditional. And no president gets to decide who can and cannot participate in our elections.

This should outrage every American, regardless of party.

BREAKING: CNN just aired a devastating montage of all the times that Donald Trump accused others of using their public office to make money. Donald Trump's net worth has almost tripled since he took office. Everything he accuses others of is an open admission.

I'm confident nobody will share this.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Nigel Farage's latest aping of Trump politics - promoting a crypto business which he himself has invested in.

MPs must be banned from promoting financial products in this way.

WOW! A NEW BOMBSHELL UPDATE: A federal appeals court upheld E. Jean Carroll's $83 million judgment against Trump. Judges called his conduct "remarkably high, perhaps unprecedented."

He owes nearly $90 million with interest. He raped her, defamed her for 5 years, sent death threats her way, and promised to do it "a thousand times." Courts keep saying: Carroll told the truth. Trump didn't.

This is accountability. And it's only the beginning.

TRUMP IS A PREDATOR FULL STOP!

I’ve heard from a source close to someone who once did some decorating work that Nige is “furious” with Candyman and worried there may have to be a by-election in Clacton. I haven’t been able to confirm this independently but the fact people are even saying it is surely sign that Farage position is very very vulnerable. Now back to you in the studio

Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."

The people who broke our country are the same people Nigel Farage is now relying on to fix it.

It couldn’t be clearer: Reform UK are simply the Conservatives with a new logo.
