FULL LETTER: Clintons Refuse to Testify Before GOP Congress on Epstein Behind Closed Doors: krassencast.com/p/full-lette...

As I've been saying, Trump has been running the federal government like an organized crime enterprise. Shocking as this latest development may be, it is but one example. Trump must be impeached and removed if our constitutional republic is to survive.

two fin whales, the second largest animal on planet earth (we also saw humpbacks coming up for air) - awe-inspiring and humbling beyond words 🐋 seen in the waters around Skjervøy, Norway

last night : seeing the northern lights when they were this strong and visible (you could see all the shimmering and dancing with the naked eye, it was just a bit less colour saturated) was like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. utterly humbling and astonishing near Tromsø, Norway

Keith Ellison: "These poorly trained, aggressive, and armed agents of the federal state have terrorized Minnesota with widespread unlawful conduct. They're making unconstitutional arrests and using excessive force ... this has to stop."

For 18 months, I had to keep the secret that I didn't just voice The Flying Dutchman in the SpongeBob movie, but I also played him in live-action sequences. The hours it took flew by thanks to superb makeup artists Gage Munster & Marcel Banks who were both so kind AND hilarious. 🤣 Thanks fellas! 🙏

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Iron Cross en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Cr...

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

And a spear too. Spearhead was a far right paramilitary group led by Colin Jordan in the 1950s and 60s. At first, I thought this logo was a spoof but apparently it’s for real.

This is a deathblow to Tesla in Europe, where it benefits the least from this deal, while big rivals can open the floodgates: Tariffs on made-in-China EVs on top of the 10% standard duty: Tesla: 7.8% BYD: 17.0% Geely: 18.8% BMW: 20.7% VW: 20.7% R.I.P. Giga Berlin. 💀

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. People are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

Hey @thehill.com we’re still waiting on your apologies for this lie. 🤷‍♀️

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Germany’s dying forests are losing their ability to absorb CO2. Can a new way of planting save them? Vast swathes of the country’s trees have been killed off by droughts and infestations, in a trend sweeping across Europe. www.theguardian.com/environment...

Instead, foresters have been experimenting with a different approach: pockets of beech, firs and sycamore have been planted around the surviving spruce to make sure the returning forest is more biodiverse. They hope that planting a mixture of species will make the returning landscape more resilient.

Ten years after the Paris Agreement was endorsed by nearly 200 countries, the world is in a markedly different place. A decade ago, the world was heading for around 4°C of heating by 2100; today, that projection is closer to 2.6°C. eciu.net/analysis/re...

The US 'care' model Farage wants for the UK...

There it is. Farage and Reform would end our NHS. Millions of people could not afford to be ill under a Reform government.

MAGA is not the first...

So we’re all clear that Trump is escalating ICE raids so he can trigger retaliatory violence and then declare martial law to interfere with midterm elections, right?

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have tried to silence me for speaking out. Today, I’m fighting back because this isn’t just about me. This is about the rights of all retired veterans and all Americans, and I’m not going to let this Administration take those away.

This really matters. Even if you don’t have x weeks service you should get paternity leave to spend time with your newborn - and now all dads will.

There is nothing wrong per se with Ofcom's statement here - they're following the process they have to as soon as possible - but it does show how slow and bureaucratic state processes are compared to how the internet moves. Makes it a far less effective regulator

New: Ofcom have launched a formal investigation in to X / Grok. Which is very good news. But we now need that investigation to be quick, thorough and forceful.
