Serious questions need to be asked about Mandelson, Andrew and what the PM knew when. The credibility of UK politics is on the line, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Elon Musk was itching to go to Epstein’s parties, and excited about all the ‘girls’ that would be there, *five years* after Epstein pleaded guilty to *procuring a child for prostitution*. What on earth did he think went on at these parties?

We should just force them all to start working at 12 and the few who survive that long to work until 80. Think of what we could do!!!

And for those who won’t comply? Siberia awaits!!!
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

THIS! We’re talking about Liam because he was in the news and we know enough to be able to talk about him, but we also hope to use his story to help raise awareness of all 3800+ kids who have been detained by ICE during this presidential administration. They all deserve love, care, and liberty.
I think important to state for the record that Liam Ramos is a kiddo who is both a person and representative of every other kiddo who is at risk/detained no matter how old they are or how cute or small or "innocent" bc like some kids get into trouble. I got into trouble. we stand up for them all

And there it is. He has no intention of allowing a free and fair midterm.

In a sane world, this would be instantly impeachable.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

Putting aside his threats to end democracy for a moment...listen to the whole thing and ask yourself if, absent context, you could separate this from the ramblings of an elderly relative who is losing their grip on reality...

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to wake up at 5 am and don 30 lbs of tactical gear you bought off amazon to sit in a chevy tahoe in the parking lot of the elementary school where you kidnapped a five year old kid to intimidate his teachers. good luck soldier

No one should show up or pay a dime to see this movie right now.

When Trump is in prison where he belongs, “Melania” should become a horror cult classic like “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and perhaps drag queens could enact it on the stage in front of the screen.

Without identification there is no accountability.

We are seeing the consequences of that over and over again in American communities, with officers engaging in violence, violations of rights, and even murder.

We don’t do secret police in America — the masks must come off.

The interesting question is why Republican donors aren't calling on Trump to reverse course and dump Millerism if not Miller himself.

I mean, I think we can guess why, but I wonder what they'd say, at least.
Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll.

And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration.

This is digging deep into Trump's base.

We detail these numbers on today's pod:

De grootste tragedie is dat Yesilgöz de coalitie met D66, CDA en CU opblies met haar leugen over nareizigers, daarmee Wilders katapulteerde, met hem een catastrofaal kabinet vormde dat ons de inhumane Faber-wet heeft gebracht, en nu die wet in een nieuw regeerakkoord met D66 en CDA heeft gekregen.

People are making fun of him for this, but I feel pretty confident that the new Trump Kennedy Center will be as much of a success as the Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Vodka, Trump Shuttle, Trump Mortgage, Trump Steaks, and Trump University.
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.
