Local elections should be about local government. Some parties what to distract you from what actually matters: who will do the work. Lib Dems win more councillors every year, win more by-elections, and defend more seats - because we actually deliver for people. #votelibdem

Now Fox News is running with how Pam Bondi made promises of transparency that never surfaced and that maybe the reason she is out is to keep her from being deposed by the House later this month on her handling of the Epstein files. No mention of Trump and how she was following his orders.

Donald Trump is in his worst position ever on inflation, and it shows. And it’s not just one group saying it, Americans across the board are fed up with the sky-high cost of living. Families are paying more for groceries, gas, and rent, and they know exactly who’s in charge.
The Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth divorce was kept secret for a full year — and it changed everything. While Shia LaBeouf spiraled into another arrest, Mia Goth quietly booked Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Marvel's Blade, Christopher Nolan's Odyssey, AND Star Wars. This is the story of how one
This is the kind of reception AIPAC-backed, Schumer-endorsed candidate @rephaleystevens.bsky.social got from Democratic primary voters in Michigan. It should be the standard for any Dem out of step with the base. Rejecting blind support for Israel isn’t antisemitic—it’s a foreign policy position.🤦🏿♂️
