But it's your creepy orange skinned premier tearing down the East Wing of the building and blowing up people in #Venezuela while sitting on the #Epstein files because he knows they will extinguish the embers of his "legitimacy" once and for all...
'A House of Dynamite' but it's your uncles trying to deep fry a turkey.

Watching a gameshow in the #UK
HOST: what will you do with the money?
GUEST: I can make social welfare a reality and take sensible maternity leave and support my parents in their healtcare.
It’s not a labor/con thing. Neither will provide this.
We need a new left.
It’s grim out there folks.

Trump: there is no list
Also Trump: here’s part of the list.
Sorry y’all are going through this America but they can’t sustain this. Hopefully the course will be corrected soon.
Release the list!

I know he’s threatening to sue but #Epstein disappearing from the BBC News front page is unnecessary. Absent on CNN this evening too. Guardian still has it on top.

BBC Question Time tonight… yet more platforming of 30s-era radical right wing “Reform” politics. Planted audience members with non-sensical questions about immigrants versus any other violent man…
Please someone put the final nail in the coffin of this wretched show.

Ah, c'mon. No one wondered. We just wanted it confirmed...
All of the times I’ve wondered what Putin had on Trump, and now we find out Jeffrey Epstein was talking to Putin’s ambassador about Trump.
Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

The very idea of digging this far into the recesses of the void that was for two seconds once a soul to /probably/ discover this exists for the first time and then say, yeah, lets remove that... it's about as ghoulish as it gets.
Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

I want to live in an apartment at the public library.
"Since 2000, more than 1,800 apartments—many of them affordable units—have been built in complexes that combine new housing with new libraries. These projects can both address a communities’ housing needs + improve local infrastructure by replacing aging library complexes..." (see also: Inwood)

Serious question from someone struggling to follow from across the Atlantic. How many dems inc. #Schumer who have "capitulated" are doing so because of the time of year and pressure on them by people who need it? by the same token, how much criticism is from those in more comfortable positions?

The #BBC news is wild. The head of the BBC was sacked for potentially misrepresenting a right wing speech as more right wing than it was. Ironically the BBC is accused of bias which is usually toward the right anyway... so the BBC to correct to the center? I guess we'll see!

Conventional wisdom tends to be that sports and politics don't mix... but sports almost always shows up...

Trump being loudly booed at the Commanders' game. Americans hate him. How humiliating for Trump.
