Pardoned by Trump after convicted of 12 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion. Don’t have to pay back $17.8 million in restitution or serve 12 year sentence. Not Somalis.

Bit naughty of me really, as 2025 was the year I finally gave up listening to Today. I'd been tuning into it since around 1982 (with gaps when we lived abroad, obvs) but this was the year I just could take it any more--partly because of the paper reviews and how Fleet St seemed to drive its agenda.
Wonder whether this will come up in Theresa May's conversation on violence against women and girls with Queen Camilla on the Today Programme? Not holding my breath.
Theresa May defends Boycott's knighthood despite his assault conviction
The former PM said she thought her honours list was "appropriate", and revealed she is considering writing her memoirs.

Yesterday, I ran into a friend from work.
She was devastated because her uncle has disappeared & no one can find him.
They believe he was detained by #ICE even though he has legal status.
This #ICELawlessness is out of control. They're disappearing people.
THEY'RE EVEN SHOOTING AT PEOPLE.

The 💩 is beginning to hit the fan, bigly, and Trump will blame Biden and Obama to his base, but it won't get the stink off of him.

Border czar Tom Homan didn’t receive the normal background check during his bribery probe.
President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"
