The “Lake America” thing is an example of something that’s dumb, & seems irrelevant.
But the world sees stuff like this happen *every day* and NOT A SINGLE PERSON step in to stop it, & correctly concludes that the US is no longer a globally serious nation.
That’s his legacy.
BREAKING: In a bizarre move, Trump just called in the media out of the freaking blue to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America" because his childish trade war with Canada is backfiring.
Because nothing solves an economic disaster like throwing a Sharpie tantrum at a map.
The last recorded death from measles in Australia was in 1995. The last recorded death from measles in the US was yesterday. I wonder what metric he’s using to define ‘better job than any other country in the world.’
Disgusting. Meanwhile in Paris, the River Seine is clean enough for designated swimming areas, & fish have made a great recovery. @thameswater proposes more crap for the Thames.
Electricity sector profit margins:
UK 23% - 38%
Spain 11% - 13%
Germany 9 - 11%
France 6 - 9%
But, apparently, the reason UK electricity is most expensive is Net Zero.
Burnham is looking at rewriting insolvency law so Thames Water and the rest of the privatised utilities can finally be pulled under public control.
That is the right fight. Creditors who loaded the company with debt and treated clean water as a cash machine now threaten legal war to keep their grip. The establishment spent forty years selling the pipes and the rivers.
Ordinary people paid the bills and swam in the sewage. Changing the rules to put the public first is not radical. It is the bare minimum after decades of extraction. Hold the nerve. The parasites will scream. Let them.
One of my favorite Dolly stories is one Julia Roberts told about being on the set of Steel Magnolias. It was, naturally, very hot and humid, and Julia turned to Dolly and said, "Aren't you hot? With the wig and everything? Just, you know, just say it's hot!"
And Dolly looked at her and said, "When I was a little girl, I used to dream about being famous and rich, and now I'm both of those things. So I'm not going to complain."
May we all be so grateful and gracious when our dreams come true.
trump threatening to demolish JFK's living memorial because they won't allow him to add his name to it or renovate it how he likes is truly disgusting subhuman behavior.
If you ever wondered what women’s healthcare looks like: I went to the emergency room with cold sweats, severe abdominal pain, and nausea. I had the most insane back pain and couldn’t stand up straight.
The ER doctor sauntered in. He one look at me, and said, “It seems like menstrual cramps to me.”
Meanwhile, I was sobbing because I was in so much pain. He asked if I had a history of addiction. I do not.
When he finally deigned to order a CT scan, he found that I had a 1cm kidney stone…
Trump is in massive trouble.
Now Trump has officially filed an appeal against the forced full release of the Epstein files.
Trump refuses to name the senders and recipients in eight email exchanges with Epstein.
Those messages are about a torture video and sexual activity involving 2 minors.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has challenged U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan's June 2026 preliminary injunction in the Phang v. Blanche lawsuit.
The order forced the DOJ to unredact materials from the Epstein files.
Trump's team has also been ordered to explain every blacked out line.
The case is now heading to the D.C. Circuit.
The district judge has already warned Trump and his lawyers about contempt.
