Trump called on the federal government to unseal all remaining classified files on aviator Amelia Earhart. If it’s that simple, then why not the Epstein files?

The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during a 2020 racial justice protest that followed the death of George Floyd, AP reports.

The Trump administration gave Mikie Sherrill’s Social Security number, home address, and insurance records to her Republican opponent. Ciattarelli’s campaign then distributed them for political gain despite being told not to. This is a massive violation of Mikie’s privacy and endangers her family.

Wastewater treatment plants are major sources of pharmaceutical pollution, a new study reveals. Sewage treatment plants are ineffective at removing Prozac & other common drugs from wastewater, causing them to be discharged into lakes, rivers & streams where they pose risks to aquatic life👇

…And in this example we have a major corporation pulling a show because it might too overtly criticize self-avowed white supremacist terror networks.

Daboll seems to be making decisions solely based on not getting fired and yet, every decision he makes provides more evidence for why he should be fired

Just as an aside on this: I understand Antifa isn’t an organisation and it seems like Stupid Trump. But I feel the next step will be for the regime to define who or what is Antifa. The parameters are specifically vague so anyone Trump doesn’t like can be branded a terrorist.

Senior White House officials tell CNN re: TikTok that Trump wanted “patriotic” investors. The algorithm will be “retrained” in the US, reviewed by Oracle, meaning it’ll be full-on MAGA propaganda or TwitterX 2.

Murdoch is getting TikTok. Now the Fox News social platform.

You can have some war, and you can have some war, and you can have some war… Lots of chickens waiting to come home to roost, MAGA voters.

Morning Bluesky. America is taking part in Russia’s rival to Eurovision.

TV entertainer and inexplicably Secretary of Defense/War/whatevs Pete Hegseth said journalists must pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorised for release or their press credentials will be revoked .

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

This is a great cover.

Trump’s plan to re-occupy Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan - announced in London - is going to require a mini-invasion, Reuters reports - 10,000 military personnel and significant air defences. This from the man who negotiated a US withdrawal from Afghanistan in his first term. Complete shambles.

ABC: “What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech.” Trump: “We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. Maybe they'll have to go after you.”

The Justice Department has removed a study from its website which found that "the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism”, CNN reports.

So let me get this straight: the Trump-brokered deal for American ownership of TikTok means: Oracle, Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz get all the profits But China still controls the algorithm So it was never about national security and all about skimming cash.

Whitewashing.

ICE is a loaded weapon, and it has shot the nation in the foot.

This isn’t happening in isolation. It’s happening in a context of visas being revoked for political speech and legislation being introduced that could lead to the revocation of passports from US citizens for political speech. theintercept.com/2025/09/13/m...

"Trump is not serious about stopping Putin. He’s not serious about NATO. He’s not serious about saving lives. He is serious about leverage—about using this war to strengthen his power, weaken the alliance, and tie Ukraine’s survival to his trade wars." levremembers.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

The Russians are laughing at Trump. Alexei Zhuravlev, first deputy chairman of the Duma’s defence committee: “Trump remains in his normal state. He is either waiting to have a conversation with Putin, talking to Putin, or is explaining how well he spoke to Putin.”

Trump also sent the dictator and Putin pal Lukashenko a letter for his birthday.

A couple of days after Belarus sent Russian drones flying into Poland, the US lifted sanctions on Belarusian airline Belavia. It was announced by US Deputy Special Envoy for Ukraine John Cole during a meeting with President Lukashenko in Minsk.

Morning Bluesky. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk says his country’s airspace was "violated by a huge number of Russian drones". He described them as a direct threat. This incident should be a wake-up call to people in Europe. Putin won’t stop at Ukraine.

Free speech, though. The world’s thinnest-skinned leader can’t hear criticism. Weak.

In North Carolina's state legislature, the vast majority of seats - 85% - are drawn to be completely non-competitive. This not only deprives a huge swathe of North Carolinians of a meaningful political choice, but increases extremism and polarization in our politics.

Ramzan Kadyrov said he opposes ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, claiming peace is only possible if Ukraine “becomes a region or district of Russia.” He argued that stopping hostilities now would not serve Russia’s interests, echoing Kremlin propaganda about “security guarantees.”

The Justice Department has asked a federal judge to keep secret the names of two associates of Jeffrey Epstein who received $100,000 and $250,000 from him in 2018, NBC reports.

Not a part of the rules-based order.

He’s distracting from this dropping apnews.com/2-lawyers-on...

The acting deputy chief of a Justice Department unit said on hidden camera that the government will "redact every Republican" from an Epstein client list.

At an event with DeSantis, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo said officials will push to end "all vaccine mandates" in law. "Every last one of them is wrong," (Politico) That’s measles, polio, chicken pox and tetanus… America’s anti-science anti-intellect shift is going to kill so many people.

Trump doing Putin’s work. The US wants to phase out security assistance for eastern European countries bordering Russia, the FT reports. The alleged aim is for NATO allies to fund more of their own defence.

The US military will conduct a flyover of the White House and wider DC at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday). Epstein’s victims will be holding a press conference on Capitol Hill around the same time.

No public appearance from Trump today according to his schedule. His last televised appearance was six days ago.

Ursula von der Leyen’s plane was forced to land in Bulgaria and use paper maps after suspected Russian GPS jamming disabled its navigation, the FT reports.

Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isn’t white. *Do not* use the term “remigration”. It’s an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.

Something else Trump has stripped the value from.
