I read this three times, and I'm pretty sure it makes no sense.

We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.

(If you haven’t seen it yet - this is about former nominee for Attorney General Matt Gaetz, who was paying a 17 year old girl who lived in a homeless shelter for sex, she was saving up for braces.)

Jasmine Crockett: "If people decide that they want to continue to support person who may be a pedophile themselves or a person who obviously is covering on pedophiles, that's on them. But they should at least know the devil they decided to pick."

If that's Giuffre's name under the redaction bar, then prove it. Remove the redaction. You've already told us it's Giuffre, so you wouldn't be doing anything illegal. So reveal it. Or can't you? Because it's not her?

I'm getting reports that a firm is cold calling people "offering grants for renewables and quoting that MARTIN LEWIS had encouraged people to engage with the company." The call is UTTER BOLLOCKS! This is not true. Don't trust them. Politely disengage and don't speak to them.

"Officers said they believe the man and woman in the image could have information that may assist their enquiries" They are Americans... 'signal' them to #BorderAgency so they are stopped instead of leaving the country... Or are they going to get away with this? Like that #AnneSacoolas ?

One for the Brits. Epstein wrote a list of names for Steve Bannon. The first one on it is Mandelson

In the same week a news hurricane engulfs the BBC in the UK, the NYT: hold my beer. To be fair, I believe the NYT deserves a shitstorm: it does brilliant journalism. It’s also untransparent & unaccountable

NEW: 942 amendments have been laid down in the House of Lords ahead of the Assisted Dying Bill's committee stage in the chamber, which starts tomorrow. This is believed to be a record for a bill at committee stage. It's going to be an intense debate.

Pay back your travel expenses Jenkyns! Reform UK’s Andrea Jenkyns is claiming travel expenses for her job as Mayor of Lincolnshire, why? Because she lives in Yorkshire (despite saying she lives in Lincolnshire on her nomination forms).

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

In part 2 of my @bylinetimes.bsky.social investigation, I reveal how the 'BBC bias' memo - written by a Trump-aligned lobbyist whose firm was paid up to a million by pro-Trump donor tech giants - was politically biased and reliant on pro-Trump partisan sources bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/p...

Great write-up of our latest Caerphilly by-election report by Martin Shipton and Nation Cymru

"The main UK BBC analysis of the Caerphilly result read: 'Extraordinary by-election humbles Westminster’s big beasts' with a narrative centred on the decline of Labour & the Tories. "Plaid Cymru, who won by 11%, was the fourth party mentioned." Its leader was not. Farage had a photo AND quotes.

Is there political bias at BBC Wales News - favouring @plaidcymru.bsky.social? Our new systematic study of the Caerphilly by-election coverage on BBC TV, online and social media found NO evidence supporting this allegation - BBC Wales broadly balanced coverage of the major parties 👇

#BBCLies The BBC has been conducting an unashamed propaganda campaign against the SNP for years. To suggest that they need to survive for the purpose of upholding truth is absurd, and an affront to those of us here, who have been subjected to their relentless propaganda during this time.
