This is impressive because a) It’s not a ‘typical Dem’ answer b) The praise makes the criticisms more devastating
Asked what he thinks of Trump as a person, James Talarico lists the president's strengths, then his weaknesses.

Proscribing Palestine Action was a dreadful mistake. It has wasted police time, energy, opportunities and taxpayers' money.
Not to mention all the innocent peaceful protesters who have experienced unpleasant treatment by the police.
Time to unproscribe PalAct @andyburnham
A grave misuse of anti-terrorism powers
Today, the Supreme Court begins a landmark 2-day hearing on the Home Office's 2025 decision to outlaw the protest group Palestine Action.

The Supreme Court debates whether Palestine Action spraying paint on planes at RAF Brize Norton amounted to terrorism, while outside people are arrested for signs saying, “God help us Jews who support Palestine and Palestine Action.”
For goodness sake, put an end to this farce.

Boop!
So taken by how this little one steps in to comfort her crying sister. Watch carefully and you’ll see that she models behaviors that have almost certainly been used to comfort and distract her during times of sadness.
She comes in close to make eye contact. She offers a playful boop on the nose to elicit a laugh. And then closes the deal with a much-needed hug.
In all things, babies learn from the examples set by others. It’s clear that this little one has some outstanding - and emotionally intelligent - role models. I’m betting that big sister is one of them.

Einer der besten und berührendsten Spots, die ich je gesehen habe. Und das zu einem sehr schlimmen und traurigen Thema - zu dem es sehr wichtig ist, dass es viel Aufmerksamkeit bekommt. Daher bitte teilen. #MonstersEverywhere

This is absolutely true!
The US sought regime change in Iran.
But it was Iran which achieved regime change in the US.

Can I say that I was very moved by Trump's speech on the eve of the mid-terms? He stood by the new lake thing that he's had done up, and said, it's a 'massive piece of pool'.
Pure poetry.

Trump doesn’t think the results are a rejection of his leadership. Of course he doesn’t. That would require honesty and self-reflection. The man couldn't find either with a search warrant and a mirror.
BREAKING: President Trump congratulates Democrats on their midterm victories but makes one thing clear: He does not view the results as a rejection of his leadership.
“Congratulations to the Democrats. They did a good job. They’ve been looking for this one for 11 years, and they finally got it. But I don’t view it as a hit on me. I think we’ve done ... We’ve had the greatest two years in the history of the presidency.”

BREAKING - ARRESTS
Former government barrister Tim Crosland is among those arrested at the Supreme Court while holding signs mirroring the words of Sarah Helm, wife of the National Security Adviser to Andy Burnham.
The court is hearing an appeal over the Palestine Action ban.

Our challenge of the Palestine Action ban at the Supreme Court will begin shortly - at 10.30AM.
We are arguing that the ban is disproportionate to free speech and the right to protest, so it must be quashed.

Meanwhile... The victims of the GRENFELL TOWER fire have seen no justice.
The report into Hong Kong's Wang Fuk fire has been published - less than a year after the blaze which killed 168 residents.
It tells a damning story of private sector greed, public sector negligence, staggering incompetence and blatant corruption:

Bravo to our colleague @jamesmatthewsky for always asking the pertinent question and putting into context just why what happens in Michigan - and America - doesn’t stay in Michigan. The election most certainly matters elsewhere - and non-voters have a significance of their own
Michigan's Democratic candidate for Senate Abdul El-Sayed confronted @jamesmatthewsky, telling him he wouldn't answer his questions as he wants "zero" votes in the UK.
Watch the heated exchange between the two.

BREAKING: SWEET REVENGE! The Navy Admiral who Pete Hegseth fired DEFEATS her MAGA opponent to win a House seat in South Carolina — cementing the blue tsunami with a poetic flourish!
This is just too beautiful...
Democrat Nancy Lacore, a 35-year Navy veteran who rose through the ranks from helicopter pilot to become Chief of Navy Reserve, was fired in August of 2025 amid Hegseth's purging of high-ranking women in the military. While no official reason was given, the deeply misogynistic Hegseth has not been coy about his caveman belief that only testosterone-injecting men should serve.
Lacore has now defeated Republican Jenny Costa Honeycutt to seize a seat that was formerly held by MAGA lunatic Nancy Mace who launched a failed bid for the governor's mansion this year.
Lacore has not been shy about criticizing Hegseth's disastrous mismanagement of the Defense Department, particularly his failed Iran War.
"Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified Secretary of Defense that we have ever had, and he is doing significant damage to our military that it will really take decades to undo," she said, adding that he "needs to go."
The most beautiful irony here? Congresswoman Lacore could soon be voting with the rest of the Democratic majority in the House to impeach Pete Hegseth. We have subpoena power starting in January, so we'll be able to uncover all of the gross negligence and rampant criminality that he's overseen.
Ain't karma grand?
Please ❤️ and share if you support impeaching Pete Hegseth!

Cyberattack on France’s national blood service (EFS) via its refrigeration contractor Coolworld. Hackers reset freezers keeping blood donor samples at -30°C to a target of 110°C. The thing that stopped it from destructive impact was an on-call technician who noticed the temperatures going up. Frozen plasma intended for transfusion was stored there too. Fortunately nothing was destroyed. This was a cyberattack on a sensitive layer of healthcare. From frozen peas to boiling plasma in three weeks...?

Oh dear @marmite - I sincerely hope you’re not letting this one go? Very sad to see a lovely brand be associated with hate.
