I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

So to recap:
1. Trump buys a property for ~40million(?) (somewhere >36million)
2. Instantly turns it around to list it for $125 million
3. Eventually sells it to Russian oligarch Ryobovlev for $100 million
Kind of a neat way to get ~$60 million for no reason at all.
That profit is sparkling clean

There is negative-to-0 probability the Epstein files are released.
Who has them? Pam Bondi's DOJ and Kash Patel's FBI.
Sign whatever discharge petitions you want. Trump will take this to SCOTUS, and by then Bondi will have magically made them disappear.
Absolutely no chance Trump lets this happen

I understand Trump proposed the idea of 50-year mortgages. Many are ridiculing the idea out-of-hand without any thoughtful discussion. So I propose we take the idea at face value and discuss it just on the merits.
But for simplicity, let's call these "Epstein Mortgages".

Zohran has ended his victory speech by summoning and entrapping the spirit of Andrew Cuomo in a Greater Soul Gem. The translucent former governor's mouth hangs open in a pained howl as he writhes within the jewel, but makes no sound.

This was the fateful last post from McMurdo Station, now silent, in an event world leaders describe as "disturbing". Satellite fly-over photos have been censored, all flights and vessels have been forbidden to approach. Drones sent to investigate do not return, and their cameras mysteriously fail.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.
"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

Looks like the meeting with Zelenskyy was a good one. Trump now backs Ukraine’s 1991 borders instead of offering up Crimea to Putin.
