This is the people’s house, or was! As these walls fall, it symbolizes democracy no longer exists! trump’s terrorist tactics in Ukraine to shooting unarmed people in a boat. Making farmers go bankrupt to murdering American people in a pandemic! Trump is not leaving! So watch these walls crumble!

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.

This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

I have nothing left to say to you.

На зарядку становись!

После успеха «Smells Like Teen Spirit» Курт возненавидел песню. Он либо отказывался исполнять ее на концертах, либо намеренно искажал её. Ему не нравилось, что хит перетянул на себя всё внимание- ведь у Nirvana было много других композиций.

This you, Fred? 👀

BetFred may claim to have only made £500,000 in profits last year... but they had revenue of over £1 billion, and the owners' personal wealth grew by £500m.

They can find the money for the gambling tax.

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.

Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.
