He's been front-and-center in the Epstein story for years but the hammer is just coming down now. I suspect the British government knows more about his activities than the public does and is acting accordingly.

Same probably applies to Trump, but unlike the UK, the US government is covering it up.

LONDON (AP) — Buckingham Palace says King Charles III will strip Prince Andrew of remaining titles and evict him from royal residence.

Johnson is out here blaming Democrats when there is money *already appropriated* that Trump's simply refusing to use, while building his gold-plated bribery ballroom and traveling abroad on a trip he *extended* so the shutdown would last longer.

To recap: Trump is spending money Congress never appropriated to pay federal employees with guns, and cutting programs and grants even when Congress has appropriated funds.
They literally have a contingency fund for SNAP that they are refusing to use.
No Speaker has done more to weaken Congress.

In a new set of court filings, submitted late Wednesday, administration officials acknowledged that they had billions of dollars left over across multiple federal accounts. The amounts appeared to total more than would be needed to cover the full costs of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, for the next month.

REP. @jrclemmons.bsky.social : “Lee & TN Republicans are saying Tennessee families going hungry are not a priority.”

With $29 BILLION in reserves @govbilllee called special sessions to give billions to corporations, fund his private school voucher handout, etc— but lets TN families go hungry

Stopping this is what @RepJohnRose called “the progressive radical left agenda”

Marge wants to address this. Why don’t Tennessee Republicans care?

The presidential drone-murder spree continues.

In case anyone wondered why putting an unrepentant felon in the Oval Office was a lousy idea, Trump’s nautical snuff film series answers the question emphatically.

Another illegal US maritime strike—again in the Pacific.

Against a vessel allegedly operated by an unspecified "designated terrorist organization."

Four reported fatalities—dubbed w/o ID or evidence "narco-terrorists."

There's a word for premeditated killings outside of armed conflict.

Earlier today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on yet another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Eastern Pacific.

This vessel, like all the others, was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel—and killed—during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. No U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.

The Western Hemisphere is no longer a safe haven for narco-terrorists bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans. The Department of War will continue to hunt them down and eliminate them wherever they operate.

A brave young woman asks JD Vance: “When you talk about too many immigrants here, when did you guys decide that number? Why did you sell us a dream? You gave us the path and now tell us we don't belong here? Why do you have to be Christian to be American?”
