1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵

Mandelson deserves all he gets. But let’s not forget that Epstein’s main role was a conduit for the Alt Reich in Russia, America, Israel and Europe. Putin has ceased to care about the left and pumps all his money and social media to Farage, Tommy Robinson and MAGA

BREAKING: The Maryland House passed a congressional map that would eliminate the state’s last GOP-held seat. Democrats say the move is necessary to counter Trump-backed gerrymanders.
The bill now heads to the Senate, where its future is uncertain.

Trump now claims that 25 million people came into the country under Biden. First it was 10 million, then 15, then 20, now it’s up to 25 today.
