I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet. He just seems to have trouble pronouncing it when it's my name.
I don't care how he pronounces my name. I don't even care that he remembers my whole name. Because he can just go on and call me senator after November.

Vive Lula, vive le Brésil de la dignité. Les sondages et les commentateurs experts bla bla prédisaient son échec certain.
Il vient de gagner ! Il a battu l'extrême droite et les ingérences étrangères.
La magnifique campagne de masse a rassemblé le peuple des favelas et les salariés dans les urnes contre la dictature de l'argent-roi et du mépris du peuple.

A triumph for Lula. “A defeat for denialism”. A win for the world.

Electoral politics can feel like doom and gloom, but tonight there’s hope! 💚✊
In Serbia, students, the left and Greens have won against nationalist far right.
In Brazil, Lula is set to triumph over the fascismo of the Bolsonaros.
The tide can turn. Solidarity can win! 🌹

I reckon this was the moment which changed the course of Brazilian history.
Flávio Bolsanaro threw away his lead after he mocked Lula losing his finger. It looks like corrupt mayors then tried to stop people voting in pro-Lula areas.. and the fascists still lost!

I still carry around a tote bag I got in 2018 from the "Lula Livre" encampment outside the prison in Curitiba where he was being held. And here he is today winning again, against all odds. What an extraordinary politician.

It is now 37 years ago that the last episode of #Blackadder Goes Forth was screened. This TV gold concluded 3 hrs of unmatched of comedy to many of us. But there was a deeper message throughout encapsulated in this moving final scene.

🇺🇸 Pete Hegseth just got absolutely humiliated by Senator Tammy Duckworth!
Senator Tammy Duckworth, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who lost both legs while serving in Iraq, challenged Hegseth:
"I'm glad you brought that up. Can you name a single country that belongs to ASEAN and explain what agreement we have with it? And, by the way, how many countries are in ASEAN? Frankly, I'm not sure you even know who our allies are."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth:
"Well, I can't give you the exact number, but I certainly know our allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia..."
Senator Duckworth:
"None of the countries you just mentioned are members of ASEAN. I suggest you do your homework before engaging in these discussions."
And this is the kind of clueless bullshit running the Pentagon. Absolutely unbelievable.

A few weeks ago tax exile Jim Ratcliffe lectured the UK PM Andy Burnham. He said he should run the UK the way he runs Manchester United. Today after eight games Man Utd are two places above the English Premier relegation zone: their worst start in the top league since 1986.

Simon likes to claim that she speaks for her area and that AFE is defending the community against unvetted men being housed in Salford.
But just who are the men that Ashlea Simon surrounds herself with? Are the men of AFE just salt-of-the-earth locals with legitimate concerns? Let's take a look:

I’ve spent the last two hours bathed in the nostalgia of listening to Five Live football commentary. It’s essentially the same kind of audio I used to listen to 70 years ago and on and off since. It’s a warm blanket of voices and feelings. I can almost smell buttered crumpets.
