Had to doublecheck the date on this
The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
The aging president mixed up where his own father was born.
Is it just me or does destroying police stations and basically all government infrastructure leave Iran pretty vulnerable to extremist groups in the region to exert even more influence in the country? Take out "bad guys" and very often there are worse guys ready to step into the void.
The American people should have gotten a clear explanation as to why we bombed Iran and what the end game is. Instead, they got this:
Trump The lives of courageous American heroes) may be lost. That often happens in war Lord Farqaad Some of you may die. But it's a sacrifice lam willing to make.

I know football isn't important compared to the world being on fire again but a quick reminder that Iran have qualified for this summer's World Cup and are due to play their matches in the USA in a few short months. I wonder if Infantino will be attending? #awkward #boredofpeace #fifafarce

CNN headline that says Trump delivers a deadly blow to EPAโs ability to regulate climate pollution
The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.
It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.
Just going to leave this here
Trumpโs toxic, racist video surpasses previous levels of debasement www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, Amazon saw its corporate income taxes shrink by more than HALF last year, even as its profits climbed.
But instead of investing the savings into their workforce, Amazon just announced thousands of layoffs and plans to spend $200B on AI.
Textbook corporate greed.
Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. Iโve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.
25th Amendment now.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistโbecause the person felt she did didnโt deserve the recognition.
