Six congressmen bought between $83,000 to $245,000 in SpaceX stock just before its IPO:

-Jared Moskowitz
-Gil Cisneros
-Dan Meuser
-John McGuire
-William Timmons
-John James

Five serve on committees whose work impacts SpaceX's business.

We must ban members of Congress from trading stock.

Trump announced yesterday he will repurpose huge chunks of federal lands to host AI data centers.

This massive giveaway to Big Tech comes despite surging public opposition to data centers— including among Trump's own voters.

This is not a joke. Count Binface is the real deal. He can make a huge difference and Clacton would be privileged to have him as MP. Just remember that Volodymyr Zelenskyy used to be a comedian too. And in Denmark we had the comedian Jacob Haugaard in parliament. Honest and great guy of the people.

Reform UK and Nigel Farage are now so knee deep in scandal and investigations, their attempts to deflect and divert are failing.

For years, Telegraph columnists told us climate breakdown is a hoax. Now they say: it's real, but it's too late to do anything about it, so let the bodies pile high (again).
Just one long list of excuses not to reduce fossil fuel use.
Such newspapers bear as much responsibility as the oil firms.

Thats the best statement against capitalism/private equity I've seen in a long time! You can easily substitute references to football/FIFA for any number of privatised services and it is just as powerful an anti-private equity statement. Try it with NHS, water, Royal Mail....all works!

High gas prices caused by Trump’s Iran War are boosting the oil industry's profits.

And they’re still getting billions in tax breaks every year — meaning you’re effectively getting charged twice.

Here’s what you need to know about Big Oil’s one-two punch.

Of all the iniquities inflicted upon us by Thatcher, privatisation of water was one of the worst.

It enriched many a greedy CEO, and made millions for shareholders. But ordinary people were left high and (literally) dry. Except for our poisoned rivers...

#RenationaliseWater. Without compensation.
Half of the country is in "exceptionally serious drought" - putting us at more risk of wildfires and threatening our food security.

Meanwhile water companies are wasting a staggering 2.87 billion litres of water every day through leaky pipes.

Time to end water privatisation.

Just watched the BBC 10 O'clock news @bbcnewsunofficial.bsky.social

Two stories - one on the Suffolk wildfire and another on the countrywide Welsh drought - with not a SINGLE mention of the climate

Just beyond belief

Drought declared for whole of Wales amid sustained high temperatures
Wales is on course for its driest July on record in almost 190 years.

This is a very scary development, what happens when AI starts telling you the battle of Hastings was in 1068, and there is nothing left to refer back to. See the problem. AI is causing as many problems as it solves. 1984 has truly arrived.
It’s easy to rewrite history when you destroy all the original records.

Care workers should be 'best paid' as Burnham seeks to overhaul social care crisis.

Problems multiplied by privatisation of social care.

Low wages/investment, profits, poor care.

Billions taken out of public purse to profits.

Can't address crisis without ending privatisation.

Deep in a crypto labyrinth today. One thing I learned is that claims from crypto bros that Reform's crypto donations were 'more transparent' than cash were bogus

Reform's crypto donations didn't go directly to them, but Poland-based Radom's wallet

It was impossible to see what was going to Reform.
