Or… no evidence that there’s a credible regulator or appropriate law...?

JD Vance: "Greatness awaits every single one of you in the America First movement we are building together, but we need your help to get there. Do you want more prosecutions? Great. So do we. Donald Trump and I have a list of better judges and prosecutors to enact swifter justice."

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

In 2021 an 🇬🇧 MP's basic salary =
£81,932.00
In 2025 🇬🇧 MP's basic salary =
£93,904.00
A 14.6% pay rise in 5 years.
So tell me again that doctors are asking too much.

@johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social talks to the journalist and author Michael Crick, who confronted the Reform leader with allegations of schoolboy antisemitism over a decade ago. How does he feel about the party’s position at the top of the polls?

This is an impeachment offense. One of many but this is a very clear red letter violation of the law.

And, as the research shows, that 'cost' is not just fiscal: it is also likely that it will affect the health of Scots. Never mind. I'm sure that any new nuclear facility will be well looked after - just like the pipes which leaked radioactive materials into Long Long...
Nuclear is neither clean nor safe nor needed in Scotland yet WM would impose more of these power stations on us and expect us to pay our share of the cost.

Top 1% US researchers find ‘significantly increased cancer incidence’ for those living near nuclear power plants at a level that would mean an additional 10 000 avoidable cancer cases 30km around Hunterston if Scottish Labour get their way talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/12/19/t...

It does need to be removed. It is entirely corrupt and biased. There’s no representation at all of how over 50% of the population thinks. Bias by omission is their standard practice.

The BBC has always been about serving the home counties, anything filmed outside of the watford gap is either token programming or it allows the home counties to feel morally superior to the characters depicted. There are no regions outside the South East just outposts, Nandy will change nothing.

After two months of resistance, Belgium’s Bart De Wever ultimately got his way, as plans to use frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine collapsed after a night of negotiations between European leaders.

🇬🇧 It’s fundamental to the ‘bbc North britain’ propaganda strategy to showcase and promote the unionist party most likely to challenge the SNP

In recent years the bbc have moved from championing the Tories & Ruthie Davidson, to Labour & Sarwar, and now it’s Refash uk

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.

Will Jordan release the video to the public?

If not, why not?
