🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Donald Trump has arrived in China to find that President XI did NOT greet him at the airport. MAGA is in spin mode heralding the “red carpet treatment,” but the visit is already at a rocky start. Instead of a presidential welcome, Trump was greeted by US Ambassador to China David Perdue; Xi’s vice president, Han Zheng; China’s Ambassador to Washington Xie Feng; and Executive Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ma Zhaoxu. I’m sure Trump would hate if you shared this and rubbed it in all day long.

JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term? Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…” Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term. Silence. Every single one of them refused to say it. Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face. Never stop connecting the dots.

Total wealth of billionaires in 1990 = £59 BILLION Total wealth of billionaires in 2025 = £795 BILLION Number of food banks in 1990 = 0 Number of food banks in 2025 = 2400 Tax the rich.

I fully endorse this message.

Robert De Niro on Donald Trump: “He’s a punk. He’s a dog. He’s a pig. He’s a con. A bullshit artist. A mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Doesn’t do his homework. Doesn’t care. Doesn’t pay his taxes. He’s an idiot. He’s a national disaster. He’s an embarrassment to this country.”

As a tribute to the six Al Jazeera journalists killed in Gaza, here's the poem I wrote a few months ago:

When Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, he made that order apply to every state in this nation. Democracy is under assault right before our eyes - the moment we’ve feared has arrived. The rule of law has increasingly given way to the rule of Don. The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up.

RETWEET if you stand with Gov. Gavin Newsom!

I saw this interview last night. It was probably one of the best journalistic interviews I've seen in a long, long time. @krishgm is brilliant, just insanely good at his job. My only fear is that i hope he doesn't get cancelled after this.

I have a newsfeed saying ‘crackdown’ on disability claimants. Have you ever seen a newsflash on a ‘crackdown’ on super rich tax havens and non-payment?

If you watch one thing today make it this remarkable speech by an independent French senator. It captures the moment @ClaudeMalhuret

RETWEET if you stand with President Zelensky!

This brilliant cartoon clearly explains Trump’s current position on Ukraine. It is in Ukrainian with English subtitles. Share it with anyone who keeps repeating russian propaganda.

Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power. RETWEET if you stand with Bishop Budde against Trump!

Jonathan Freedland in today's Guardian:

Look at the face of bravery. The last news about Ahoo was that she was taken to a mental institution. After that, there was no news about her. Say her name! #AhooDaryaei

BREAKING: Kamala Harris’ campaign just released this devastating montage of all the times Republicans blamed Donald Trump for preventing the strongest border security legislation in decades from passing. Retweet so all Americans see this.
