BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly livid that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy just started an ideological civil war in MAGA world over immigration, and vowed this morning he’d take care of it as soon as his golf tournament is over this weekend.

It’s incredible to see the Syrian people celebrating their freedom after enduring over 50 years under the oppressive Assad regime.

Hello dear Twitter friends, I've made the plunge to the other place. It seems genuinely great. I love that it works so similarly to here. I love that there are no cesspit-inducing algorithms. I love the absence (so far) of hate. Please join me! I'm @doctoroxford.bsky.social 💙

Dear Mr Trump: Since Canada is larger than America, we will take over your country and make America the 11th Province. You will be the Governor of America and American-Canadians will finally have universal healthcare. You will never go bankrupt from getting sick again.

Farage ‘ We need to leave the ECHR to take back control’ Before that it was ‘We need to leave the Eu to take back control’ It will be a slow creep until ‘We need to have a dictator and martial law so we can take back control’ Facists handbook

Unimaginable. After almost 14 years of conflict, Syrians are fleeing once more. Civilians are bearing the brunt of escalating violence in Syria with more than 20,000 people displaced. Urgent measures are required to deliver aid and restore access to critical services.

The @Conservatives double standards are breathtaking, aren't they?
A Conservative Party spokesman says Louise Haigh “failed to behave to the standards expected of an MP", as she hadn’t thrown a lockdown party, bullied a civil servant, given a PPE contract to her mate, gone on reality TV instead of doing her job or crashed the economy

Excellent. I totally agree and understand why. Hunter was selectively prosecuted and convicted of crimes that ALMOST NEVER GET CHARGED - especially AFTER he paid back the taxes and no longer in possession of the gun. The GOP couldn't find anything on Joe, so went after Hunter.

I had high hopes for Starmer and he's exceeded them. What a great PM he has quickly become.
I am honoured to be in Paris to stand united with President @EmmanuelMacron in tribute to the fallen who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom we enjoy today.

The world feels a whole lot more terrifying this morning - especially for any hope of climate action. Right now I feel sick. But I also know we have choices on how to respond - and will try even harder to light candles rather than curse the darkness 🕯️
