She's [Crockett] got about as much chance of being the next senator from Texas as I do to have being the next senator from California, remarked Thiessen after being prompted by Perino. Her candidacy would be exactly everything that's wrong with the modern Democratic Party today. It's what I would call the first iteration of the Mamdani fallacy, which is that the lesson of the last off-year elections was We gotta go out and find some more energetic leftists to energize our base and run just like Mamdani did.'

"It's a shame and it's embarrassing for Joe Biden. He had that gritted teeth thing that he does," she said, referring to what others may call a "smile." "We know, for 50 years, Joe Biden has been a jerk," she said. "So perhaps he should take some of his own advice with what's happened to this country. It was an opportunity - as President Trump, I think, illustrated - to be generous, right? Be generous."

Taxes are going up not because of Brexit, Ukraine, Trump, poor productivity or the tooth fairy running away with the magic money tree at the end of the Downing Street gardens. They are increasing because of conscious Labour policy choices to abandon welfare reform, eschew any cuts in public spending and tax working people more to raise welfare benefits - the express demands of Labour backbenchers on a Prime Minister and Chancellor too weak to resist them.

The Taoiseach demanded to know who the whisperers were in his own party and said the media should not just "trot out" comments without substance

Housing Minister James Browne has been accused of 'fleeing the country' and 'running scared' instead of defending the Government's new plan to tackle the spiralling crisis.

So considering that Minnesota and Canada, their trade relations are so important, what happens when Trump wakes up and doesn't like a commercial that's on Canadian TV, like that happened last week? Oh, I don't like the way you quoted Ronald Reagan. I'm going to impose another 10% , another 10 percent tariff.. Aren't there real life consequences for people in Minnesota who deal with trade in Canada because he whimsically wakes up and gets angry like a child at something?

On CNN's The Arena With Kasie Hunt, conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg took the first at-bat reacting to the report. Goldberg called it weird politics and submitted that it shows you what a different time we're in that this is even being considered, especially given the ongoing government shutdown and other corruption allegations against Trump. Then the Times Lulu Garcia-Navarro noted that the cash Trump was seeking was taxpayer money that would be going into the president's pocketbook.

The Department of Homeland Security entered into a contract to purchase two US-made Gulfstream G700s for $172 million on Friday, The New York Times reported. Thetaxpayer-fundedplanes will be used by Noem, as well as other high-ranking DHS personnel, said a release put out by the Coast Guard, which is part of DHS. They're replacing decades-old planes that "experienced 30 days of unplanned maintenance, with six missions requiring unplanned cancellation," the release said.

And I'm not saying that to be nasty, but like he's a weird guy and some of the stuff that he does, just the way that he's always glazing himself and repeats himself. He's not right in the head. He continued: And I don't know if that's his psychology or if it's just his age, but there's something not right there and anyone who's been around him will tell you that.

Laura when I first heard that these things were no king' protests I thought this was a RuPaul [Charles] thing, said Arroyo. You know, no kings only queens. But apparently this is anti-Trump protest. That's really what this is.

"We are very, very, very excited to be here with you in your wonderful, wonderful city,"

The Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan celebrated his birthday on board a 268million superyacht in the heart of London, according to reports. Sir Sadiq is understood to have marked his 55th birthday with a private celebration on the huge vessel anchored near London Bridge and was hosted by billionaire Fulham FC owner Shahid Khan. The mayor's appearance on one of the extravagant superyachts has been criticised by his rivals in City Hall, with one insider suggesting to the Express that it was inappropriate.

Turning Point USA announced Thursday that it would be staging its own counterprogramming in protest of the league's choice. It'll be called "The All American Halftime Show" - and it most certainly won't be in Spanish. Ever since the NFL announced that Bad Bunny (whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio) would play the Big Game on Feb. 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, critics have been decrying the decision.

To continue his football analogy, Hodgson told host Rosemary Barton he would "describe these five projects as being down in the red zone" the area of a football field close to the goal line. "The Major Projects Office is there to help make sure each of these proponents punches the ball into the end zone, scores a touchdown and builds for Canada."

Trump and Hegseth have been publicly pushing for the rebrand for weeks, claiming the change would present the US military as more aggressive to the world by reverting to the name that was used when the US was victorious in the first and second world wars. Everybody likes that we had an unbelievable history of victory when it was the Department of War, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office last week. Then we changed it to Department of Defense.

'cruel' green paper

"I think that he is a disgusting display of not appreciating what was handed to him, in this country as being an American, the success that he has had. The fact that he duped us all with one of the most anti-American songs ever and called it 'Born in the USA' as some sort of celebration of how great it is to be born in the USA. I'm angry at myself for not seeing it for so long and actually giving him, in my mind, the credit of being a representation of blue-collar America."

The Conservative Party branded the move a kick in the teeth to drivers, criticizing Labour's approach to heavy-handed policies against car owners, especially in London.

Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard and take over D.C.'s police department is an unprecedented move that raises concerns about federal overreach in law enforcement.

You don't break your word. Your word breaks you.

Christie criticized Trump for firing Dr. Erika McEntarfer after a disappointing jobs report, calling it an act of a petulant child who blames others for bad news.

Reeves’s display of distress may prove to have an unexpectedly positive legacy, normalising women’s tears in the workplace, which have mostly been mired in shame.

Hermer said in his speech to the Royal United Services Institute: "The claim that international law is fine as far as it goes, but can be put aside when conditions change, is a claim that was made in the early 1930s by realist' jurists in Germany, most notably Carl Schmitt, whose central thesis was in essence the claim that state power is all that counts, not law."
