Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Meanwhile, Epstein’s best friend remains the President of the United States.

Just my two cents to our Prime Minister.
Keep our country and armed forces as far away as we can get from this shitshow and the unstable sociopath in the White House

Great news, folks!

After months of denying that they were going to cut Medicaid by $880 billion

Republicans have now quelled that rumor

By announcing they’re “only” going to cut $600 billion in benefits

So that way, you know, only 25,500 people will die instead of 34,000

Hands
Off

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

I will remind people why things got better in the early 20th century, the workers organised, they went on strike, they refused to work unless they got what they wanted.

The richest had to cave in, because you actually have all the power.

It's time for it to happen again.

Rand Paul: "We have to start from talking about the truth. One of the things they say with Canada is, 'Oh, there's a 270% tariffs on dairy products going from the US into Canada.' Well you know what the real tariffs is? Zero. That's a big difference between what the truth is."

Yup!
something I haven't seen yet: isn't a massive increase in the range of goods worth smuggling going to be a big boost to exactly the kind of cross-border organized crime the WH claims it wants to stop?

So, Le Pen gets banned from running for election because she’s found guilty of embezzlement and her far-right fanclub starts huffing and puffing about whether this is democratic.
Err. Yes.
If you’re found guilty of corruption, you’re unfit for public office. It doesn’t matter how ‘popular’ you are.

Impressive support for Marine Le Pen so far. From the far right in Italy, the far right in Hungary, and her niece.

Oh, and the Kremlin. 😬 ~AA
