Any Dublin appearances planned Glen?
The Trump administration is unsatirisable
A very normal guy
That Trump repeats calls for Iran's unconditional surrender on same day he's got the defence industrial chiefs round for an emergency meeting on military supplies perfectly sums up his grasp of ends & means.
Iβve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administrationβs Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.
I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.
It's March 5th, and you know it!

That was a staple of my TV viewing in the 70s!
βWeβve gone to war by mistakeβ
Looks like disenfranchisement is going to be part of the UK radical right pitch from now on.
NEW: More evidence that those who tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election are working with Trump administration officials to set the rules for the 2026 midterms. @dougbockclark.bsky.social
More great coverage of my new book on the Blair years, this time in the Irish Independent! Lots of coverage in Ireland, and I'll be doing more coverage there this week. Reflective, thoughtful. www.independent.ie/opinion/anal...

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.
Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didnβt drop the rod. WTF
Itβs 2026 and political pundits out here still trying to will βconventional, normal, presidentialβ Trump into existence. Good luck with that.
This is stenography, not news reporting. The BBC ought to provide some context, such as putting the scale of the changes which Reform claim are possible into context. This omits the major policy of revoking ILR and deporting legal migrants at unprecedented scale.

"These tariffs have been in effect for almost a year. They have upended whole sectors of the U.S. & global economies. The fact that a president can illegally exercise such powers for so long & w/ such great consequences for almost a year means weβre not living in a functional constitutional system."
I don't know what is going to happen. But I would recommend not getting your hopes up about Texas. I speak from experience.
New idea for scientific conferences
Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.
Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.
I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
Literally nobody in this country used the phrase 'DEI' before January last year. America-brained shite.
