It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

"Andrew has always denied claims he had sex with Giuffre when she was 17, and settled a civil case with her for a reported £12m with no admission of liability."

Terrible grammar, missing a comma after "claims".

Recall that Trump's father was the child of immigrants, and that his mother and two of his wives were immigrants.
Trump on immigrants: "They send up their worst people. They send up people that are criminals. They send up people from jails. And the best ones they send are people that don't work very hard and that are on a social form of welfare."

Last time I checked 'Prince' was still a fairly royal title
Farage, eh? Always on the wrong side of history. Prime mover in Brexit, loved Liz Truss's budget. Reform isn't a political party - it's a company.
Let's not fall for the same bullshit the Americans fell for. Tell the twat to fuck right off.
We are just Germany in the 1930s instead of blaming Jews we are blaming migrants.

But they aren't responsible for Austerity, Brexit or the profiteering crisis.

As a Brit who has read the book, I didn't think it was as aggressive towards Trump as I suspect it could have been. I also got the strong impression that it had been VERY carefully vetted prior to publication to ensure no national security issues arose.

Word is Bolton had boxes of documents in the bathroom at his club that's open to members of the general public. Oops, that was someone else. 🤔
Unless Jewish Aston Villa fans are also banned, how is the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans at Villa Park antisemitic?

Letter to the editor:
£5bn over ten years to “restore pride” in Britain’s poorest areas?

That’s less than the EU, in its time, gave us every year.

Ambitious? Hardly.
Letter to the editor: £5bn over ten years isn’t ‘ambitious’ – it’s a fraction of what the EU once gave

The government says it is “driving forward private finance efforts for Gaza's reconstruction.”

As if enabling a genocide wasn't enough. Now, they are allowing private companies to make some money out of it as well.

Have they no shame?

Just finished reading Maybe I'm Amazed, a lovely book about autism and music by @johnharris1969.bsky.social. The Beatles loom large, just as they should.
Of course, autism is a big subject and the book is also about family, society and inclusion. Which is part of what makes it so relevant.

3. No evidence of criminal wrongdoing
4. Occurred in int'l waters
5. No open state of hostilities
6. Criminal groups are not terrorists legally
7. No id on people killed or group targeted

"Retrain"
JD Vance: "Because we have such a big problem with left-wing political violence, we have to train the investigatory and law enforcement powers of the govt to focus on that particular problem ... we really have to retrain the entire govt to focus on this left-wing violence problem. We are doing it."

There is no need for a moral panic about the UK's welfare system.

Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts

Spending is controlled, not spiralling

Worklessness is near record lows

This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?
Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.
