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."

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Trump Personal Lawyers Bondi, Blanche, and Patel Hid From American Voters a *Minimum* of *95%* of All References to Donald Trump in the Epstein Files (950,000 of 1M+), Establishing the Largest Political Coverup in American History

🇪🇺💛🇪🇺💙🇪🇺💛🇪🇺💙 Are you on the waiting list? I am! Very exciting!

Hard to believe that none of the Reform MPs turned up for the debate on Russian interference in our politics. Maybe they were visiting their former Kremlin talking points Welsh leader Nathan Gill in prison? Or en route to their next BBC interview to act as commentators on why Starmer should go?

Not only the world’s most prolific sex offender, but also owner of the world’s most prolific kompromat archive. No wonder he switched off all those security cameras outside his locked cell then hung himself.

Now that members of Congress are able to see what was redacted they are learning how Todd Blanche failed to comply with the law in countless instances, and it’s now about to get real because what DOJ was hiding is the most incriminating stuff.

This viral video of Vance getting booed at the Olympics should have Europe's far right shunning him as a liability. But instead, Orban has Vance coming to Budapest to "help" him get re-elected.. Hilarious and great.

🚨BREAKING: Puerto Rico has been part of the United States since 1898, and people still act confused that Puerto Ricans are American. States that joined after Puerto Rico: • Oklahoma — 1907 • New Mexico — 1912 • Arizona — 1912 • Alaska — 1959 • Hawaii — 1959 Yet somehow this is still news to folks.

I joined @arusbridger.bsky.social and @lionelbarber.bsky.social to discuss my work and the work of Bellingcat, why I don't like Seymour Hersh, and getting verified information out quickly on the ICE shootings. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/podcasts/med...

Well done Starmer you have ignored the right wing puppets in our media and told them to bugger off. If they want to hound someone they should focus on Farage and his love of Trump.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

The Times calls Keir Starmer's decision to hire Peter Mandelson an "egregious error" which deserves an "inquiry into the appointment process." Not included is any demand for an inquiry into their own appointment of him, long after his post-conviction relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was exposed

Just beyond parody at this point

The Daily Telegraph currently owned by a private equity vehicle RedBird IMI - based in the UAE and led by Italian American Gerry Cardinale and Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Patriotic news. For patriotic people. Who don't want to pay taxes.

Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, 2023. It’s a dark and rainy day in Portland, Oregon, and I felt the need for some color in my life. I think this fits the bill. #Photography #Architecture #Interior #Paris #France 📷

Not to mention Nigel Farage: www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Evening glow

Good morning from the forest

Palestine Action are found not guilty for the offence that our government claimed as grounds for proscribing them.

I don't often wear political t-shirts, but I'm proudly sporting this one today. I'm an immigrant. I teach American (and international!) college students, research the U.S. economy, consult with policymakers, write books, raise my kids, pay taxes, and try to make this a better place.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Who do they think they are? Coming over here, contributing to our economy. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Good morning, Bluesky! Happy #Sunday! Sunrise at Tahoma. The sun lighting up a lenticular cloud just as it peeks above the summit of Mt Rainier, Washington on New Year's Day, 2025. 📸Morgan Stephen

It's 1998. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2001. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2025. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2026. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour.

Always remember ... The Brexit ref was anything but democratic 😡

Good night

Pic from this evening. Caught the moon with the trees and the cast shadows …

Yeah hey JD remember that? What ever happened with that?

Sometimes I imagine when watching BBC News that they will end with: Vote ReformUK! Vote Nigel Farage!

Labour have played things astronomically badly during their first 18 months in charge. Their wild stampede to the Right has cost them a third of their 2024 vote lost to the LibDems and Greens. An unforced error of catastrophic proportions. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

It's essential to defeat this nasty piece of work

Matt Goodwin says this is "a chance for the hardworking, law-abiding, tax-paying people," such as his boss, Nigel Farage, who doesn't do his job in parliament, lied about why he avoided constituency work, admitted to breaking 17 laws last week alone, and still faces questions about tax avoidance.

The Telegraph’s political editor is saying, more subtly, what others are saying brutally.

Another performer withdraws from the Kennedy Center.

There's a predictable approach to denial that we're already seeing, which I call the Four Pillars of Disordered Doubt, which allows actors to constantly question evidence that don't fit their preferred narratives.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

A little extra love to Minnesota nurses today.

Are there any UK Policing experts on here? Regarding the changes to policing announced today by the Home Secretary, is this really a big deal? We already have the NCA, the SFO, the National Lead Force for Fraud, the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB), CEOP, and other linkages.

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA. We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material. In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights. link.europa.eu/Fh8h84
