CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

Anyone else fed up with media’s incessant sniping (often vitriol) at Gov’t? Getting ever closer to muting the lot of them, even those I used to respect but who are now emulating Kuenssberg, Mason et al. Some having a fit of the vapours when pointing out media‘s role in negative public perception.
NEW: Furious female Labour MPs tell Keir Starmer to appoint a woman as his de facto deputy to oversee “complete culture change” in Downing Street after series of scandals they say exposed No 10 “boy’s club”. Full story by @lexytopping.bsky.social

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced.

Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another.
But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty 😔

The BBC are still at it, Starmer bashing...
Lab MP's & especially cabinet ministers need to start calling out this biased onslaught live on air.
If they're worried about antagonising the media, they shouldn't.
The BBC & the rest of the media couldn't be any more anti Starmer/ Labour if they tried.

Can’t wait for more media disingenuously pushing why Labour should be held to higher standard than other parties.Their greatest dreams will come true & Reform could be running the UK, with scenes like this here. But at least they’ll have plenty of fodder for their podcasts. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

The files reveal the deep-rooted ambivalence, disdain and hatred for women that sits at the root of masculinity. It’s something good men have to fight against every day, but power corrodes that will and leaves you totally unaccountable
