Kemi works in Westminster where sexual abuse and misconduct are completely endemic. In the last parliament, 2 MPs were convinced and jailed (Elphicke and Imran Khan), Hill lost an Employment Tribunal case and Donaldson was charged. In this parliament, there are 2 pending cases (Norris and Spencer).

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

Weirdly, so far this book is making me experience all the fierce love of learning and institutions of learning that have been central to who I am since I was a small child, not making me despair

Didn't get what they wanted.

Susie Wiles is missing the point: If you are in the Epstein Files, then you DID do something awful.

Judge Duggan convicted in Wisconsin of obstructing feds efforts to arrest a defendant in her courtroom. I will be doing a Substack live with.@AdamKlasfeld, who attended the entire trial, to get the full report tomorrow morning. Will keep you posted on time.

Happy EPSTEIN Files Release Day Eve for all those who celebrate!!! 👍

“It was not unanimous. I was muted and not allowed to speak.” 🤔

Exactly because Orban and Fico should be forced out of the room during the discussions. They are both Kremlin owned agents.

EU leaders falter, ditching von der Leyen's bid to redirect frozen Russian billions to Ukraine's besieged economy, opting for a €90 billion debt bandage. Kremlin crows over this cowardly fold, perpetuating invasion's tyranny as Kyiv gasps for air. #StandWithUkraine

Imagine how many times Trump's name appears if it has taken them this long to do the redactions!!!!

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

I see the peace negotiations are going well. The EU needs to take all that Russian money (Russian state mob cash) and give it to Ukraine. If Orban vetoes it send him back to Putin with a one way ticket as he is a Putin owned asset. The same with Fico. If they object put them in a diplomatic bag.

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

Cheered up a bit by @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social on the Reform soufflé: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Jesus was so famously MAGA in all his views. He hated immigrants, after all they helped injured people beside the road when the right thing was to keep walking, put Judea First, had special place for sex workers, just like Trump, was against universal healthcare after all he could just heal anyone.

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible. But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas. If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

I don’t know who made this, but it’s spot on!!

FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times F: Not a 600% cut L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

Just gave my last talk of the year! 2025 was quite packed, I gave talks about: - the age-period-cohort problem - making rigorous causal inference more mainstream - mediation analysis - marginaleffects - causal graphs (x10) If you're curious, check out my slides here: juliarohrer.com/resources/

Join our Replicability Project: Health Behavior! We have 55 replication studies underway, our target is 65-70. We are only recruiting for secondary data replications--i.e., using existing data to test the original question. Here's a list of studies we think could be feasible. If interested...

Well the world sucks but I am enjoying my art classes. There stages of my giraffe drawing

It was never about drugs. It was always about oil.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

As ever with Reform there's no attempt to take responsibility for Farage’s appalling behaviour as a schoolboy. It's everyone else's fault that he said "Hitler was right" and bullied a 9 year old black kid when he was 17... Poor Nigel is the real victim in all of this.

Something that I wrote about normality tests. Perhaps a bit controversial but I think we need to stop doing them and we need to reply to referees that tell us to do them that they might not know what they are talking about. www.linkedin.com/pulse/conven...

The point of a university is to keep the tenured staff off the streets and in food and drink for the rest of their lives. Anything else is just incidental. Swift realised this when he wrote about Gulliver in Laputa.

We used to joke that Harvard was a hedge fund that offered a few classes on the side. Budgets reveal priorities. My uni crows about a new luxury hotel & LED screens for the football stadium. Meanwhile, I teach in a classroom with holes in floor & ceiling, not allowed to print handouts for class.

While this is true, this is the wrong focus. Bird flu has already jumped to mammals in the US and it is spreading through cattle. BUT it became attenuated - less pathogenic. We can never know what level of pathogenicity it will have until it happens. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If we can't even identify our enemies then how can we fight them? Trump's National Security Strategy is the longest suicide note in American history www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I remain convinced that the election basically came down to the perception that everything "felt better" before the pandemic, and the average voter was too ignorant and incurious to consider why they remembered the Trump years more fondly than Biden's.

GEORGE SANTOS Serial fraudster and Congressmember who lied about his identity, committed wire fraud, stole from donors, and exploited 9/11 for personal gain. Trump commuted his sentence after just three months. See more at: gov.ca.gov/2025/12/14/trumpcriminals/

When I seek parenting advice, I always turn to people like Megyn Kelly, who think its OK for old men to grope 15-year-old girls.

Susie Wiles: "Vanity Fair tricked me into saying embarrassing things about the Trump administration. And then I went back to talk with them ten more times."

Markus Frohnmaier is the AfD official posing in a photo with Trump Under Secretary of State Sarah Rogers. You can read more about him in this 2019 report. www.dw.com/en/german-af...

What could an Epstein associate, felon and adjudicated rapist have to hide, that is so bad that he can be blackmailed with it? Let that sink in America, as Putin definitely has Kompromat on Trump and what the Steele dossier suggested was the tip of the iceberg.

Jordan Bardella is running for president of France. He likes to lick the boots of the absolute worst people in the world! Like our felon and the tiniest super villain Russia has ever produced. Don't worry the people on stage drag Jordan and it is delightful!! #SheShed

This has a Close Encounters feel about it and that he is returning to his original ideas. The title is a bit of a problem - there I was expecting the Epstein Files when it came up in the news feed. Not the release of a new Spielberg Movie.

this is so frustrating because this poorly-understood disease needs so much research, education, and funding and instead this clownish dipshit is exploiting people's suffering with his pseudo-populist conspiratorial cack

Rachel Maddow: "The Trump meme coin has lost 88% of its value, and Melania Trump’s meme coin suffered even steeper losses. Today it’s worth just 11 cents, which means anyone who bought at the top and held on has lost 99% of their investment." #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

Netflix, Warner Bros., Paramount, Jared Kushner, and Saudi Arabia? My reaction to @goodworkmb's timely skit about movie mega-mergers.

We’re going to share it with The Atlantic on Signal. 🤡

I was one of those people who thought sadism, sociopathy and utter inhumanity would be disqualifying characteristics for election to the nation's highest office. I still believe the expanding expression of those characteristics should be disqualifying to continue in the nation's highest office.

Kenwood Ladies’ Pond has been trans-inclusive for years and years and etc. my ex-housemate wrote a thesis on the history of it. submitted in 2019.
