This is beyond horrifying. New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Among them: • 380,000 infants under 5 • 99,000 children over 5 That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel. Israel isn’t “defending itself.” It is wiping out Palestinian life.

I don’t tweet much these days but I’ve watched this many times. It leaves me angry. How dare he. There is a serious attempt to exaggerate racial tensions in Ireland. They barely exist. The justified frustration of Irish people has been fomented by the deafness of our

Reminder: 78.2% of terrorism arrests in Ireland from 2012-2023 related to Dissident Republicans, who Europol says are "Socialists" in league with "left-wing extremists" and "Marxists". Rightwing terror arrests are statistically the rarest of any ideology, at just 2.1%.

🚀 RWA-supporting cryptos are up 11% this week as tokenized real-world assets hit a new all-time high! The on-chain TVL for tokenized assets just crossed $29B for the first time, with total value (including stablecoins) reaching a record $307B. Bullish momentum building?

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

I'm sure Jim Gavin is a nice man & I wish him luck. But his selection as FF candidate is so Mícheál Martin. Under Martin, FF is an empty ideological husk ignoring its membership. Gavin is a parachuted celeb candidate & no one knows what he stands for. https://t.co/LGfKVDjUdM

The just-released BLS revisions are noteworthy and are likely to increase pressure on both the BLS and the Federal Reserve. The number of jobs created in the year that ended in March 2025 has been revised down by 911,000, which is more than the consensus forecast. This revision

@itsjohncrotty The story of Britain in Ireland isn’t shameful - I am Irish and I am British and I am proud of being both - those that don’t accept that are simply saying they don’t believe in a united ireland and that they are simple bigots

One of the biggest causes of error and mistake in the public sector is the firmly rooted belief that the process is more important than the results. Case in point:

@HSELive⁩ Your billboard asserts that a person with HIV “can’t” pass it on if they have received “effective treatment”. Are you asserting that your HIV patients CANNOT pass it on through unprotected sex, shared needles or pregnancy? Does @CcoHse approve of this message?
