@CynthiaAwuzie_ @pelositracker It shows nothing of the sort - it shows corruption root and branch

@pelositracker Eric Trump’s moves with XTEND are turning heads strategic investment, defense contracts, and a major merger all lined up. Whether you love the Trump brand or not, the timing and scale of these moves show serious business acumen. $1.5B Nasdaq play isn’t small.

Breaking: The President's son can not stop winning Eric Trump became a strategic investor in XTEND on February 17, 2026. XTEND is an Israeli AI drone maker that has contracts with the Department of Defense and had already been battle tested in Gaza. On February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran Five days later, XTEND mobilized drone teams from the U.S. at the request of Israel's Ministry of Defense XTEND is reportedly merging with JFB Construction Holdings in a deal valued at $1.5B to go public on Nasdaq, expected to close around mid-2026. The Trump's family intuition strikes again

@Jenny_1884 Put your hand up if you are stupid!

Who else doesn’t trust vaccines anymore?

@millie_the_minx I still have the lovely stone glazed eggcup that came with an Easter Egg when I was about ten - which would have been in the late 60’s

Why don't easter eggs come with mugs anymore? Was that just a 90's thing?

@kimleadbeater Terminally ill people want love, care and compassion, not a quick death for the convenience of their relatives.

@archer_rs This - I have never understood the love of sale and leaseback, and the push by private equity to put too much debt into businesses

The bankruptcy of NCP carparks in the UK is a classic example of listening to management consultants who will talk about "unlocking value", in NCP's case selling properties and leasing them back only to discover that lack of ownership has unforeseen consequences. Always own land

The maximum an individual can legally donate to a candidate in an election is $3300. Elon donated $277M to Trump in 2024 because of loopholes rich people use to buy elections. If you care about election integrity — overturn Citizens United so our elections aren’t auctions.

@BuzzPatterson Ukraine IS the US’s war - the USA guaranteed Ukraine’s security in return for Ukraine giving up its nuclear arsenal.

The next time you hear one of our European “allies” say that Iran isn’t “their war,” I’ll remind them that Ukraine isn’t ours.

@NJ_USA_Patriot @EricLDaugh He is a stupid one dimensional idiot, who can only understand one issue at a time

@EricLDaugh Trump is smarter than anyone gives him credit for. He repeatedly shows them, and yet, they fall into the same traps over and over again.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump CONFIRMS he was closely monitoring if our NATO allies refuse to help America — and that we DON’T NEED THEM in Iran “We don’t need ANY HELP, actually!” They fell into the trap. “I was watching!”

@COOOLVIKASH @EricLDaugh You do realise Trump has not secured the Gulf!

The 'Strategic Autonomy' bluff just got called. 🏛️🇺🇸 By stating 'We don't need them,' the President just did more to reshape NATO in 15 seconds than diplomacy has in 50 years. If the US can neutralize Iranian launch sites and secure the Gulf without a single European sortie, the entire 'Mutual Defense' argument for US funding in Europe evaporates.

@EricLDaugh I don’t rate Starmer - but he is massively better than the orange idiot inhabiting the White House

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just ENDED UK PM Keir Starmer's whole career in the Oval Office *Turns around*: "I'm DISAPPOINTED. You see that man right there? Know who that is? The late, great WINSTON CHURCHILL." "Unfortunately, Keir Starmer is NOT Winston Churchill." 🔥🔥

@JeremyCordite @Belinda38640233 The UK was one of the guarantors of Ukraine’s borders when Ukraine agreed to surrender their nuclear arsenal

@Belinda38640233 Ukraine isn't in NATO.

Can someone tell me why is it OK to support Ukraine in one war and not the USA in another?

@SuzanneEvans1 This error by Companies House is very severe; but I found the ID verification process very simple. The two are not connected

Huge security failures at Companies House, yet they expect Directors to jump through hoops to prove and verify their identity - oh, and btw, trying to do so via their Website is in my experience, nigh on impossible cityam.com/companies-hous…

@AshSportsPhotos @SaracensWomen @gloshartpury Sorry about that Ash - hope they get you sorted soon

Apologies to @SaracensWomen and @gloshartpury I am unable to cover today's game 📸🏉 Being part robot, my electronics in my back have malfunctioned, so I'm in hospital getting fixed up Annoying 😤

@CathSpence8 We said the same in front of the tv

In a game where Eng didnt default to the box kick after every breakdown it is ironic that they have just lost because with 2 mins to go, winning....they box kick the ball back to Fra. I have no words......

@JonHartleyInBSE @PolitlcsUK @gorbalsgoebbels @guardian I rather like Fagashführer - I might borrow that if I may

@PolitlcsUK @gorbalsgoebbels @guardian While the prime minister has some executive powers it does not include passing legislation by dictat. The Fagashführer is getting above himself.

@OrgRealAR @USAttyPirro Just possibly because Trump is the most corrupt President ever, and because all his senior appointments are more focussed on obedience to their leader rather than adhering to the Constitution

Good question. I looked into this a bit. His opinion is that there is a "mountain of evidence" that your subpoenas are politically motivated. I must call foul on that. Your decades-long career suggests you firmly believe in the rule of law and would say no to anyone who asked you to use your position for political purposes. His ruling should go before an impartial appeals court for a review of this "mountain of evidence," and if the mountain turns out to be a molehill, he is no longer serving in "good behavior." The numbers do not lie. There are disproportionately more instances of Judges blocking legal proceedings and EOs during this administration than in any previous administration, going back to the 70s.

Why would a Judge prevent a grand jury from doing its job?

This would be Witkoff's 9th visit to Moscow. Witkoff has made 0 visits to Kyiv. It's kind of hard to succeed as mediator in #Russia-#Ukraine war if one only wants to talk to one side.

@Joanna__Hardy Why do so many of those defending the Lammy proposals never think about innocent people who find charges are being made against them?

‘Just’

@KatMerchant14 Good for you Kat - sorry you have to put up with so much nastiness.

The impact of trolling on mental health- One of my IG reels reached the wrong side of social media and I've been receiving a lot of horrible comments. A lot of them telling me I look manly and I should stay off social media if comments offend me. I've got to be honest, waking up to 100's of comments- half of which are hurtful does have an effect. And I've felt pretty low for a few days. But I'm not going to 'get off social media'. My content is supposed to send a positive message about strength. I get lovely messages from people saying that the fitness content has helped or inspired them as well as parents messaging me saying their daughters want to grow up to be strong. This is a huge part of why I keep posting, I want young girls to have strong women role models. I don't want sporty girls to feel self conscious of their bodies like I did as an athletic kid. I want girls to know that they can achieve amazing things and for boys to see that too. Trolling is sadly part of social media BUT they need to be accountable for the things they say online. So rather than feeling down, I'm posting a photo where I felt strong and confident. This woman doesn't let trolls stop her...

Exactly this
