BREAKING: BLUE TSUNAMI! Trump's nemesis Rosie O'Donnell delivers a CRUSHING last minute election message about his "frontal temporal lobe dementia" and "diaper" — and it has MAGA world seething. This is a knockout punch with the clock ticking... "Now, Monday to get through, it's going to be a tough one, because I think they're going to pull some shady, crazy stuff," said O'Donnell. "Let's hope we get through Monday, and then Tuesday." "And then we have a blue wave, and we stop this insanity," she continued. "And we right the wrongs done to this nation by that orange man and all of the people who prop him up. And prop him up, they do. Unbelievable." "You know, if he was just somebody's grandpa, and they were forcing him to go out and work like this, you know, when he's not able to form coherent sentences, when he's making strange noises while he's speaking, well, he has frontal temporal lobe dementia. And you can't ignore it," she said. "It's elder abuse. Seriously. Got him propped up there with a knee brace on to help him walk, and he's got a diaper, and he is, you know, he's ill," she added. "The man is ill, mentally and physically." On that point, we couldn't possibly agree more. Republicans on social media are screeching that Trump's brain is fine, that he doesn't have dementia and it's just "fake news" lies, but we can see him, we can hear him. The man struggles to get through his rambling speeches without suffering a weird verbal tic, losing his train of thought, or devolving into a strange detour about men's asses. He is a pedophiliac fascist in cognitive free fall and the only ones who can save this country from him is us, the voters. "And we got to save ourselves, America. We can do it," said O'Donnell. "Come on. Believe. Every moment that you have a moment where your brain is not thinking of something, go, 'we're going to do it. We will do it.' America will save itself. And get rid of this horrible, horrible toxic chemical that's spilled all over us and our Constitution. It's a toxic chemical spill. We got to get rid of it." "All right, that's what I'm going to do. Between now and Tuesday," she said. "If you say prayers, do. You know? And if you don't, just mindfulness. Mindfulness. We will survive this. We will get through this. And this will be the end of it." "Enough. We've had enough. The world has had enough. People are booing him everywhere he goes," she said. "They can't fill up 2,500 seat venues. And even at his own rallies, people are screaming, shove your ballroom up your fat ass, you know? Apropos." If we win this election by turning out en masse to seize control of the House and Senate, the Trump era will finally be over. He'll still be President for two more years, but his agenda will be stopped dead in its tracks and his entire administration will be buried beneath subpoenas and investigation. But it's up to us to deliver that power to Democrats! What should be our first priority once we win? Please ❤️ and share if you're part of the blue tsunami!

I studied this amazing work as a student @RCMLondon but never performed it. So now, forty years plus later(!), I'm absolutely thrilled to be singing this with @TheBachChoir with @davidhconductor and @BrittenSinfonia. thebachchoir.org.uk/concerts…

What a betrayal. To Ukraine. To Europe. To Congress. To the American voter, and to Lindsey Graham.

Travelling south to #Alton on @sw_train Just used the facilities and the door hardly worked on the automatic opening and closing buttons. It was filthy and its inability to operate properly would frighten a child and many others. Poor.

BREAKING: Democrats have reached an all time high 93% chance according to Kalshi’s predictive markets to win the House. This would make Hakeem Jeffries the 1st Black American Speaker of the House in American history.

What an amazing time you’ve had and how you’ve changed the lives of so many people, Mark. Enjoy your next stage.
What a privilege it's been to be Parish Priest of Warwick Street. Today, after over thirteen years in this lovely church and lovelier people, and a wonderful farewell Mass, I give thanks for this time, as I move to a gentler pace of life. Deo gratias!

This Saturday, @BBCRadio3 celebrates the lights that have guarded our shores for generations. We'll broadcast from atmospheric lighthouses, welcome guest musicians, and send @PetrocTrelawny to a mystery location via boat. What could possibly go wrong?! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0031pv…

How can a piece this extraordinary be unfinished? 📷 This is the Sanctus from Mozart’s Great Mass in C minor — a work Mozart never completed, yet one filled with some of the most ambitious and powerful choral writing he ever composed. Book tickets here - thebachchoir.org.uk/concerts…
