The Republican health care crisis is driving up costs and ripping coverage away from working families.
No American should have to pay double or triple for insurance.

In 2019 White House advisers reported Russia offered to ‘trade’ backing Venezuela in return for America dropping its support for Ukraine. As Trump rejects all norms of a rules based world order and concern for international law I asked Foreign Secretary to rule out such a horrific state of affairs.

However the (re)normalisation of open racism by "respectable" right-wing media and politicians has led to both increased visibility for open racists, & radicalisation of some "soft" racists/xenophobes

Did you guess where we were today? Southend pier.
The pier stretches 1.33miles into the Thames Estuary. Incredibly the iron pier was opened in 1889. It has a train running along it for those not wishing to walk.
Tomorrow we visit another watery location, but not by the sea....

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

STILL WAITING

The FBI has told us it had 300GB of Epstein Files.
Today they released 2.5GB
I make that only 0.83% of the files have been released by the date demanded by law.
And most of that redacted.

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated.
