Trump/Hegseth ORDERING Navy Pilots to MURDER FISHERMEN and taxi-boat operators between Venezuela and Trinidad/Tobago, with ZERO DUE PROCESS, nor even evidence that they're drug boats, is EXACTLY the type of ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL ORDERS which honorable Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin are referring to.

This is the thing to hang onto - I’m glad people are appalled by Farage’s Nazi sympathies now, but the fact is, he was able to present TV programmes and constantly appear as a sofa guest for decades, booked by people who knew it all. We must reckon with that.
Evidence of Farage’s unabashed youthful racism has been in the public domain since at least 2013, yet somehow he has been allowed to remain part of the British political conversation. The fact he wasn’t driven back under a rock years ago has emboldened racists across the country to spread hatred.

Yes, this is good . Hits several crucial notes. A concerted effort is underway to redefine terms so that Epstein associates are assumed innocent as long as they didn't personally abuse any underage victims. No. If you were in Epstein's circle, you KNEW, and you - at best - turned a blind eye.
This is a great piece. It’s the most basic of questions.
Why Did So Many People in Epstein’s Circle Look the Other Way?
First of all, in order to ask questions about the young women he preyed on, they’d need to see them as people.

Interesting thread on Epstein Evidence...
The FBI and the DOJ are redacting the Jeffrey Epstein evidence, primarily to protect victim privacy and avoid compromising ongoing investigations. However, the law PROHIBITS redactions solely to prevent embarrassment or reputational harm to public figures.

Tbf, that's likely a rolling 2050, as actions from which important people require insulating from potential consequences of pile up. I don't expect an end to the "this wouldn't have happened in Britain" culture in my lifetime. Maybe the odd mild scapegoat like the king's brother, but no more.
