The court document below is NOT new. I reprinted it in my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT when discussing Trump's history with Epstein. Others also covered it. It was publicly available. Garland of course knew too and protected Trump. And Dems protected and defended Garland. Why pretend otherwise?
Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS,

and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"

And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Good thread by @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on Palantir in NHS. Read also my newsletter from yesterday which reveals head of Palantir UK in middle of UK-US trade deal talks…of which we still don’t know the details.

Why not??

The next general election may not be until 2029.

But we could be only days or weeks away from Labour making a catastrophic mistake that will guarantee a loss.

If they reach a deal with the USA that precludes us ever getting truly close to the EU again, let alone rejoining, then it's "Game Over".

I will certainly not go silently and I will not tolerate this shit. I am an American citizen that is disabled and cares about people!
Trump is effectively trying to block lawsuits against him.

He wants to be a dictator. The question, as always, is whether people, institutions, and elected officials will let him.

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.

So, best we share all the footage we can here!

This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Thames Water released raw sewage into a chalk stream for more than 1,000 hours over the past 6 weeks.

Execs will get a bonus. The company wants to pay higher dividends, record hike in customer prices.

Regulators do nothing. Govt can end the scam by nationalisation, but won't.

The removal of Agricultural Property Relief, a tax break considered sacrosanct by landowners since the 1980s & before? (Oh wait, that’s happening too)

I’d certainly like many more fundamental changes, but the commentariat’s refusal to assess Labour’s actual policy changes is ridiculous.

I see, so you’ve now moved the goalposts from ‘raft of changes’ to ‘fundamental change’. What would be fundamental change to you? The biggest reorganisation of local govt since the 1970s? (In train). Assisted dying? (Legislation progressing). Big changes to land value capture in planning? (On way)
