Susie Wiles says about the Ghislaine Maxwell transfer to a nicer prison: "I don’t know why they moved her. Neither does the president.”
If you believe that, send me $100 and I'll email you the Brooklyn Bridge.

'The so-called ‘hero voters’ Labour targeted in 2024 did not actually turn out for them in any great numbers. So not only are Labour fighting the last war, they are fighting it with a battle-plan that didn’t actually work. It’s Labour’s very own winter invasion of Russia.' 👏 @benansell.bsky.social
