Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

It was mind-blowingly good

This is the official White House account.

• Al Overview The idiom "you can't lick a badger twice" means you can't trick or deceive someone a second time after they've been tricked once. It's a warning that if someone has already been deceived, they are unlikely to fall for the same trick again. Here's a more detailed explanation: • Licking: "Licking" in this context means to trick or deceive someone. • Badger: The badger is a wild animal, and the phrase likely originates from the historical sport of badger baiting where dogs were used to harass

Yeah, I promised the kids one last trip to Goodison, and so it will have to be the tour now instead.

I live down south, but I've been an offical member for years, with the hope of getting a season ticket one day, and normally manage at least a couple of games per season. But no luck this year. I just wanted to take the family for one last Goodison pilgrimmage. Will have to be the tour instead.

So there goes my last chance to visit Goodison in the final season. I have tried and failed to get tickets for every game since Christmas. And still 4000 ahead of me in season ticket queue for Bramley Moore - should have built a bigger stadium! #EFC #Everton #Goodison

I lament that the Court appears to have embarked on a new era of procedural variability, and that it has done so in such a casual, inequitable, and, in my view, inappropriate manner. See Department of Education v. California, 604 U. S. ___ , ___ (2025) (JACKSON, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 1–2). At least when the Court went off base in the past, it left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong. See, e.g., Korematsu v. United States, 323 U. S. 214 (1944). With more and more of our most significant rulings taking place in the shadows of our emergency docket, today’s Court leaves less and less of a trace. But make no mistake: We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it.

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

This is how it happens.

Hiroshima being woke is not the outcome I expected, and yet here we are.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”

As a kid watching Red Dawn in the 80s, I definitely though the Russian takeover of the US would involve at least *some* tanks

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Putin’s Three Years of Humiliation The Russian president can’t win his war against Ukraine unless he persuades its allies to betray it.

Putin planned to take Kyiv in three days, but he couldn't take Kyiv in three years.
The only way Putin wins now—the only way he finally succeeds in destroying Ukraine’s sovereignty—is by persuading Ukraine’s allies to abandon Ukraine.

That’s how you write a headline, people.
