@k1awrence @LukeONien Hang on this stat can't even be right either - no player has made 280 appearances for Sunderland since 97? Assuming 50% at home?

A dementia drug based on a chemical discovered in an exotic type of snail was just invented. Studying the reproductive habits of insects has allowed us to increase crop yields.

You think you’re making a good point but you don’t even have the capacity to realize how dumb you are.

Chancellor, can you please explain why? Same question to you @POTUS ?

The basic things I look for on here - people to teach me things, people to make me laugh - have simply become much harder to achieve, because you have to scroll past two dozen Nazis to find them. It's easier on there. If you're not there, you really should set up an account.

Hard to overstate just how rapid the changes in US party coalitions have been.

The Democrats are now the party of high education *and* high income voters. Just 12 years ago, the inverse was true.

On these terms, the Trump coalition was closer to Obama 2008 than the Harris one!

64% of Latino men vote for Donald Trump in Texas.

Biden carried Latino men in Texas in 2020.

Kamala is finished...
Let her keep cackling infectiously.
The objectives of the Special Military Operation remain unchanged and will be achieved.

Wait… for 4 years they’ve been saying how all the elections are rigged and stolen and suddenly not a peep…?

RT @DarthPutinKGB: So how’s that whole “zweitenwend” thing going, @Bundeskanzler?

[PBS News @NewsHour]

Of the 177 polling places in Georgia’s Fulton County, 32 received bomb threats Tuesday, county Police Chief W. Wade Yates said.

As a result, voting hours were extended at five polling places in Georgia’s Fulton County that were briefly closed because of bomb threats that were determined to be non-credible.

Long live John King 🤴

Just remember – and we know this from experience – when Trump talks about the other side cheating, that means he thinks he’s losing.

Amorim is clearly the reincarnation of Busby and Ferguson. United are back. What could possibly go wrong.

@montie Really a very bad tweet

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

@GeordieKakamora Polls should show more variation, even with a 3% margin of error. The uniform 50-50 split suggests pollsters are likely excluding outliers—safer to be wrong together than risk standing out, especially with waning confidence in their models. Herding at 50-50 is the “safe” call.

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

Conservative leaders who back Trump should be ashamed. They are abandoning the very values which were once the core of conservatism - betraying the very idea of constitutional government, prudence in policy, and simple decency.
And they are also backing a loser...

[Michael McDonald @ElectProject]

The Selzer Iowa poll was a political shockwave. What if I told you there was a poll in neighboring Kansas that shows the same dynamic as Iowa? It's the Kansas Speaks poll which had Trump only +5 in a state he won +14 in 2020 https://t.co/Sev3r2JAHa

Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

The main reason is demographics.

Ageing populations everywhere mean more older people living longer lives (read: more healthcare use) and being supported by fewer young people.

So the healthcare bill (where most tax revenue is spent) is rising virtually everywhere.
