Belgium won. Now back to the Epstein files. #Epstein

No frog left straight.

Just a reminder, the “patriot front” is a bunch of scared cowards who are too afraid to show their faces. Absolute little children who would be the first to run if anything actually went down. Little boys.

Trump is a rapist who partied with a pedophile and is covering up the Epstein Files. Republicans worship him. Swalwell had credible sexual assault accusations, and he's gone. Platner will be gone as well. Huge difference. No "both sides." Oh, Paxton let a pedo go free, because of course.

Washington, DC has never looked as bad as it has in the past few months—and it’s not just the reflecting pool

Run on this! It's a real thing! People want to hang out IRL but hanging out IRL is too expensive.

They tell me I’m uncultured, but I’ll always recognise a bit of Beethoven.

“No one could have seen this coming from a scummy Queens real estate grifter and game show host. That is why I supported him for President twice, helped him gain establishment support, and helped him prepare for debates,” he added.

quiet part out loud -- Ted Cruz thanks Trump for "getting rid of that ridiculous red card," then tells him, "there was a reason the FIFA trophy sat here for as long as it did"

*Maine Democratic Party calls on Platner to quit the race

Now that the MSM flood is also starting, there’s no way they’re going to be able to keep this hidden until August. The rumor mill has been going crazy today. Nothing confirmed yet, but it definitely doesn’t sound good.

Platner is quickly losing key endorsements in the Maine Senate race

Judge Amir Ali dismisses alleged pipe bomber Brian Cole's bid to be covered by Trump's pardon w/o much work. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

When Graham Platner canceled all his campaign appearances and wasn't seen on July 4, it was obvious something was up. NBC suggested he was hunkered down with lawyers trying to quash more reporting of scandals. Now one has dropped: sexual assault. And there's more. 1/ www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Turns out the guy with the massive Nazi chest tattoo is a bad dude. If only there was some sort of sign.

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage threatens a Sky News journalist who asks about his undeclared gifts from convicted criminal George Cottrell "You harass my family anymore, there will be serious consequences"

How the new info op works.

I don't understand the secrecy here. How is it to Republicans' advantage to keep his condition under wraps?

New UK sanctions on individuals linked to the poisonings of Alexei Navalny and Dawn Sturgess, including a number of individuals first identified by Bellingcat. www.gov.uk/government/n...

They say it’s “routine maintenance” and that they’re painting the columns. I’m betting they’re going to demo them and swap to the “orante” style Trump likes. They haven’t followed any of the other rules, why start now?

Whatever happens now, the USA's entire World Cup campaign will be forever stained by Trump's interference.

To anyone considering helping President Trump interfere with our election or our count: You will be prosecuted. That’s why I’m moving forward with new legislation that would make it a FELONY to seize ballots before the vote has been certified by state and county officials.

Last week, Trump’s biggest supporter in Congress called for putting a bed sheet over the Statue of Liberty and replacing her torch with a stop sign.

James Murray is asked about US surveillance company Palantir working in the NHS. Palantir should have no role in the NHS (or any other UK public service). We need to kick them out.

Sad to watch this regime purge anyone who puts the country before this president. (And make Us all Less Safe in the Process)

What a picture from cheney orr of @reuters.com — a Black woman on a train surrounded by masked white supremacists, emboldened in Trump’s America. One for the history books.

Just to remind ourselves, here are our initial @bylinetimes.bsky.social's investigations into Cottrell's role in helping Farage become a true 'Man of the Paypal' er.... checks notes... 7 years ago

Ukrainian anti drone teams in Odesa, Ukraine, eliminate 95% of all Russian Shahed-type drones before they even reach the coast. Especially "Sting" drones proved to be extremely effective. It paraphrases once more why Ukrainian anti-drone technology worldwide is in such high demand.

Trump’s suicidal cult has found shelter from the storm...in the African American History Museum because of course. God is laying it on thick today.

This is Trump’s Fyre Festival. All they need are soggy cheese sandwiches in styrofoam containers

Here's the situation: The fairgoers have been expelled by force They have been told to shelter in nearby buildings, but all the buildings are locked because it is the Fourth of July People are clustering at the entrance points and blocking traffic for blocks The clouds are growing darker

Ukraine’s campaign against the energy infrastructure in Russian-occupied Crimes is yielding measurable results. The electricity usage has considerably reduced. The comparison picture released by ISW shows almost North Korean levels in the militarized peninsula.

Your regular reminder that cryptocurrency does in fact have a use case and that use case is crime

My heart is very full seeing this. Stormzy and Sonny both recovered with us and got lovely new family homes. I didn't even know but yesterday they had a meet up to catch up about the good old days at @wearehappydoggo ❤️❤️

Brutal but accurate. @coldwarsteve.bsky.social nails the politics of the day again.

She couldn't move after being thrown from a car. Locals heard her screaming at night from over 100 yards away in pain. The end was near for little Skye. Just look at her now one month later ❤️

My book on decoding Trump's rhetorical strategies came out this weekend, 2020. This is a great explainer about it, and here we are: www.salon.com/2020/07/04/t...

A debate over Matthew 25 has been brewing in Congress over the last year. It’s pitting mainline pastors, Black protestants and the pope against evangelical politicians put on the defensive amid outspoken religious criticisms of President Donald Trump’s policies. religionnews.com/2026/07/01/i...

Turns out Trump’s market manipulation with a series of tariff announcements and pauses that tormented American businesses was done to enrich himself.

Chiasmus is the X figure of speech: the first half is flipped & mirrored. We're not "an asylum for the persecuted," but we "persecute those seeking asylum." It's a compelling form that helps your brain to remember the message. Your brain notes the chiasmus, it stands out for repetition & opposition.

As you read about Bill Pulte purging dozens, probably because they refuse to give him something, remember the story about Trump's desire to have a master list of spies. www.ms.now/news/pulte-f...
