The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Hey @cnbc.com: it is laudable that you highlight the heroics of Ahmed Ahmed in Sydney, Australia disarming an armed terrorist and who was shot twice by an accomplice, but kindly mention that the money raised for him by the public after is not for his injury healthcare as hard as that is to compute.

It’s not so tough, this new world order. Trump wants the accolades from the world order he wants to change. So create new awards. The international war mongers prize. Corruption monarch. Pottiest Despot. Back it with a gold trophy or crown, $10m in newly minted meme coins and a glitzy ceremony.

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:
"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."
That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

The "appropriate response" is to broadcast everything that Trump did and said on that appalling day for American democracy and then to tell this moron to sling his hook.

Is there a prominent Brexiter left who hasn’t torn off their mask to reveal the rancid racism beneath? Boris Johnson’s chief fluffer accusing anyone else of being over-promoted is peak process. The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.
For anyone still tempted to take Dominic Cummings at all seriously, he's now an advocate of Donald Trump-style open racism.
