Trump is demanding that GOP side with him over Epstein's victims, Rep Ansari tells me. She had a harrowing exchange with one victim who recounts how her mom had cancer and he exploited that.

Also note her mockery of network disclaimers on Trump. More like this, Ds:

And *if we currently have con MPs who are vulnerable to blackmail - the CPC won’t be the only bad actor trying to exploit that vulnerability
We need a public inquiry. Are cons committing crimes of threat/blackmail? WHICH members of our gov are vulnerable to blackmail and why? And who knew it? When? Why didn’t they expel these compromised members instead of going criminal and blackmailing ?? #Canada has a right to know

And some get up to 18 months and can share the leave between the parents. One spouse or partner gets 6 months and the other can get 6 months.
A couple weeks ago a friend was telling me about someone she knew who had been on maternity leave, and said she had taken "the full year." I said, "A whole year? Wow, what kind of fancy job does she have that gives her a YEAR of leave?" and my friend looked surprised & said, "... welcome to Canada?"

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.
