JP Morgan knew about Epstein's sex trafficking, but didn't report it so they could keep doing business with him.

Tierra Walker died because she could not get an abortion in Texas to treat her severe preeclampsia. This is what Republicans have wrought with their anti-abortion crusade. But let’s be clear: Abortion bans aren’t pro-life. They’re pro-control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN3oLwO0OEE

But he was SO FUNNY on Have I Got News For You.

This is a discussion we should have been having at COP1, 30 years ago - if not 50 years ago Too late now, to prevent the catastrophic return of a Pliocene climate But still possible to dodge a reprise of an Eocene hothouse www.theguardian.com/environment/...

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

Witkoff is an idiot. Or evil. Or both. Likely both.

MECHANIC: "Well, that right there is your problem."

Trump keeps saying the Democrats were Epstein’s close friends not him and the Republicans. The data disproves that. Trump must have made a rare mistake. He would NEVER LIE of course!

😡😡

Epstein survivor Haley Robson refutes Mike Johnson: "The survivors that don't want to be public are Jane Does. They've been protected and their names have been redacted the whole time ... I don't care if my name is redacted is not."

Massie: “[Speaker Johnson is] trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now. The only way a ‘Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”

Never forget Jamal Khashoggi and the two animals responisble and complicit for his murder and dismemberment..

Or just move them to a minimum security Club Fed and give them a puppy and yoga classes.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.

🇮🇹 Italy’s Defense Minister Guido Crosetto warns that Russia is already waging a “hybrid war” against Europe—targeting infrastructure, elections, public opinion, and supply chains—and says Western inaction is “absurd.” — POLITICO

I just don't understand this world anymore.

"Quiet, piggy!"

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace! #Justice4TheEPSTEIN_SurvivorsNOW ✊

NEW: House passes release of the Epstein files. So far it's unanimous

Russia’s “human rights” fund Pravfond secretly financed lawyers, legal-aid centers and draft-dodging tips in Ukraine — another front of Russian hybrid warfare. How Kremlin cash weaponizes courts and NGOs 👇

GD ferking Nazis

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

This is bullshit! What are the charges? 📌 Border Patrol arrested two women for allegedly honking their car horn to alert others of the agents’ presence

THIS is what true leaders sound like. They don't brag about how great they are or speak nonsense about sharks, batteries, & magnets. They work for ALL the people & the ENTIRE country, focusing on prosperity. Mostly, they don't attack, maim & kill their own citizens. youtu.be/yAFV5Jip5Ss?...

🇫🇷🇺🇦 Macron and Zelenskyy signed an agreement for Kyiv to acquire up to 100 Rafale fighters, air-defense systems, and drones, - AFP The 10-year deal allows for future contracts covering around 100 Rafale jets with weapons, as well as SAMP-T air-defense systems, radar systems, and drones.

We should stop the boats because it's dangerous, and we should stop the scapegoating of immigrants because it's wrong and cruel. Controlled migration is good for the country, helps build our economy and diversity strengthens our communities. (1/6) 🧵

Could prob accept some pretty draconian small boat policies if there was a genuine safe route policy alongside it. So far we have no details at all.

Cassidy: "When the president got his physical, he got the flu and covid shots. So he has demonstrated he believes in immunization."

Chris Murphy: "He wouldn't be going through all of this effort to try to stop the release of these files if he wasn't seriously implicated in those files. This is most likely the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the country. We know that b/c Trump is going to these extraordinary lengths"

Trump threatened to impose "extremely harsh sanctions" on countries that continue to cooperate with Russia.

The only choice is to complete the shift to renewables, with some baseload nuclear power, and the electrification of transport and heating as quickly and efficiently as possible.

What should be done?

A railway was likely blown up in Poland today, resulting in a 1 meter hole in a track. A photo of what is most likely a detonator wire that led to the explosive charge is also published. defence24.pl/polityka-obr...

🇺🇦 Ukrainian Air Defence shot down: ▪️91/128 Drones; ▪️0/2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles. 32 strike UAVs were recorded at 15 locations, as well as two ballistic missiles at 2 locations.

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not. Watch till the end @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people. How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million In New York - population 8.5 million - there were 391. London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago. And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

Stalking a 19-year-old David Hogg, who had just survived a school shooting, berating him, calling him names, and accusing him of being a liar isn't "toxic politics." It's being a crude, unhinged sociopath. www.cnn.com/2021/01/27/p...

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

For about ten minutes after Keir Starmer’s conference speech it seemed like the PM understood what his voters wanted to hear – an actual challenge to the racism of Reform. But instead of seeing it as the start of new messaging, it feels like his team just regarded it as job done.
