“To be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing.” - Anouska De Georgiou
Ooof. Raskin takes no prisoners.
When I was announced as the lead in a Doctor Who spinoff in 2023 Graham Linehan tweeted about me for TWO DAYS, tagging the BBC and others to say that I am pro-child abuse and they shouldn't work with me.
Okay, he's not dead Back to the topic at hand: where are the Epstein files?
The ad campaign criticizing the use of masks by federal agents working in Washington, D.C. has expanded to 115 bus stops, per organizers
I was a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Seeing these women getting the coverage and support they are this morning...brings a smile to my face. I don't see broken women. I see strong and empowered women. They. Will. Prevail.
The cover-up continues
"North Korea sending more troops for direct fighting in Ukraine war is a dangerous escalation that could use NATO, the "aggressive alliance, to use nukes". As Chomsky or Mearsheimer won't say.
Scott Jennings and Ben Shapiro are currently both sitting at a panel table on CNN, not OANN. Seems like a pretty good barometer of where things are in this country. 😕🇺🇸
“If Graham Linehan can be arrested for a tweet, then all of our free speech is under attack” “Wow that’s pretty scary. What did he say in the tweet?” “…” “…”
The surviors of #Epstein and #Maxwell speak out on Capitol Hill. Right now! youtube.com/live/8_BXeVJ...
Can I just again point out how stupid the people who thought this man was going to commit nuclear suicide are? Grown ass national security pundits writing in seemingly serious publications that Vlad the Immortal here was going to push the button if the US sent Ukraine one too many mortar shells.
Rep Luna says after talking with Epstein Survivors today, it's clear this thing is ALOT BIGGER than we could have Anticipated - Rich and Powerful People need to Go to Prison
Yes and all the people rallying to the defence of Linehan right now celebrated her being put back in
To borrow from Graham Linehan's apparently protected tweeting format: If Wes Streeting in a trans friendly space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.
In Clacton, the search for Nigel Farage enters its 424th day.
The secretary of energy not believing that energy is fungible would be like the commerce secretary not believing that money can be exchanged for goods and services.
For the second year in a row, Reform has banned me from attending its annual conference. So much for “free speech” etc. etc.
I’m supposed to believe the most litigious woman-hating POS on the planet doesn’t want to press charges? That’s….VERY interesting. Has anyone learned anything about the 19 year old woman Rudy is protecting?
russia's imperialist campaign in Africa does not appear to be going well.. 🤷♂️ Such a shame! 😂 www.kyivpost.com/post/59280
When I voted Labour, I didn’t really want them to follow Suella Braverman’s policies.
2025: Yvette Cooper suspends the rights of child refugees to come to the UK, effectively rejecting Article 8 of the ECHR 2016: Yvette Cooper making a passionate plea for child refugees to come to the UK Cooper spent over a decade speaking up for child refugees, now she rejects Article 8 of ECHR
The ECHR is a British creation that protects us all. While other party leaders talk about leaving it, rewriting it or watering it down, Liberal Democrats stand firm.
Who says I haven’t achieved anything positive during my first year in office?
💯💯💯
grotesquely comic to have high ranking politicians coming out swinging in defence of *Graham Linehan*. guarantee if you showed most normal people a selection of Graham's tweets from the last decade (and told them it's all he's been doing all that time) they'd agree he should be punted into the sun
Huh. No mention of the $787.5M lie fine.
Yes, I'm a journalist who's critical of Farage and Reform UK. But I'm an accredited journalist with a press card, I'm the political editor of a weekly magazine, and when I registered back in May I got confirmation it was "successful". Until today, when it's now "declined". Here's the pics:
Totally agree
Ukraine is ramping up production of its Bohdana howitzers, now turning out more than 30 units a month. To date, 345 wheeled and 100 towed versions have already been built domestically.
🇺🇦 Ukraine is the first country to regularly use AI-controlled drone swarms in battle, – WSJ. Software Swarmer lets drones coordinate and attack autonomously. Already used 100+ times, with swarms of over 100 now in testing.
For you people in the Space Force that will now be headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama let me say..........
Chancellor Merz: Putin is a war criminal. He is perhaps the most serious war criminal of our time, [whose actions] we are currently witnessing on such a large scale. And we simply have to be clear about how to deal with war criminals. There can be no leniency.
Starmer ravages Farage: "The honourable member for Clacton is not here... he's flown to America to badmouth and talkdown our country. And worse than that... he's gone there to lobby the Americans to impose sanctions. You cannot get more unpatriotic than that. It's a disgrace."
Warren Buffet’s donation of $6 billion to fight world hunger, demonstrates that wealth, when shared, has the power to change lives. If only more people of wealth would step up to do the same AND PAY TAXES! #Pinks #ProudBlue
The ECHR protects all UK citizens. 🚨 @eddavey.libdems.org.uk : "The leader of the Conservative Party and the leader of Reform want to join Russia and Vladimir Putin by withdrawing from the ECHR."
Ed Davey asks Starmer to confirm that UK will not withdraw from ECHR or suspend it water it down, Starmer says we won't withdraw but they need to make sure it is 'fit for the circumstances we face at the minute' and they are looking at the 'interpretation of some of those provisions' 🤡
Uhhh…ohhhh 👀👀👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼😂
I see people bleating yet again that "elections are won from the centre". Let's examine this claim. 1. Not long ago, the current Labour government, with its grovelling to corporations and oligarchs, extreme deregulation, island of strangers rhetoric etc, would have been classed as radical right. 🧵
(Homer Simpson whisper) HE MEANS WHITE PEOPLE
Yup.
Lauren Boebert in 2023: “Space Command will stay in CO, its rightful home. Our bipartisan and bicameral effort put politics aside to put CO first.”
Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.
Melvyn Bragg has been one of the last standard-bearers for a really important, and unfashionable, idea: that good conversation, between people who really know their stuff, on complex or difficult subjects, can be fantastic radio - and that the national broadcaster should do this. I hope it endures.
Today's 100% TRUTH BOMB.
Oh God no.
Who did THIS?! 😲
1. Incitement to violence is a serious offence, carrying a sentence of up to six months in prison. 2. What's it got to do with the health secretary? 3. I'm sure if I posted that Wes Streeting needed a good kicking, he would be very eager to send the cops round. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
They said: “Ukraine has no missiles.” My question is: Then what exactly is exploding in Moscow a night ago?
I have these weird flashes of memories of the US Republican Party caring deeply about protecting the rights of states. Maybe I’m mistaken, or perhaps they didn’t mean *these* states?
Maybe, and hear me out, maybe the falling birth rate isn’t actually a problem.
When centrists adopt far-right rhetoric, they don’t make themselves stronger. They make themselves look inauthentic, legitimise the far right, and shift the political debate onto terrain defined by their opponents. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
Rep. Robert Garcia: "The Attorney General herself has said that President Trump is in the Epstein files."
Farage reportedly saying that the UK should implicitly face trade sanctions unless it legalises (presumably) saying that asylum-seekers should be burned to death "Patriot" isn't the word I would use...
🇪🇺🇬🇧 The British IISS Institute has prepared infographics on Russian sabotage in Europe in 2018-2025.
Wes Streeting is the worst human being in the UK. Pass it on. He's got a very punchable face.
Pressure to release Epstein files mounts in Congress
Not a drag queen
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
Woah!...
Sing it.
Elon Musk: “Tragic” that Trump Energy Secretary Chris Wright is a moron
Today the Oversight Committee heard heartbreaking testimony from Epstein's survivors. They deserve justice. Ranking Member Robert Garcia makes it clear: no matter who you are, if you harmed innocent women and girls, Oversight Dems are coming after you.
#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #EpsteinFiles
“Community Notes for the Win!”
SCOOP: Sources at the House Oversight Committee confirm documents posted by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna are the same ~33,000 pages of Epstein documents they received — 97% already public — and part of a broader plan to block transparency.
NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.
🚨Governor Pritzker is calling Stephen Miller OUT! 👏🏻The👏🏻Cruelty👏🏻is👏🏻the📌
I know this sounds crazy, but shouldn’t the Secretary of Energy know something about energy?
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
The President saying “we’re going in” — about deploying the military to an American city just to terrorize its people — should be immediately impeachable. Full stop.
Seems that the patriotic roofer from Carshalton who has gone around the country putting up flags.... has something of a blot on his copybook
Oh, I know this. Juche is built on 4 pillars: ● Economic self-reliance (let's not even go WTO) ● National and individual self-reliance (they need us more than we need them) ● Non alignment (taking back control) ● Military independence So the answer is Brexit. 1/2

‼️From today, a new "ceiling" on prices for russian oil has come into effect. The limit is now $47.6 per barrel instead of the previous $60. This decision was made earlier as part of the EU's 18th sanctions package against russia, - Yermak
❗️Trump: “I am very disappointed in putin. We will do something to help people live.” Oh wow, groundbreaking! Just a week of silence, blue bruises on the hands, and now - a Nobel Peace Prize application in one sentence.
Now that Rudy’s out of the hospital and everything, is it ok to start questioning his version about how that car crash went down? Anyone seen a statement from the young woman who was the other driver involved in the crash to get her side?
Hi All, Just sent out my free weekend update. Its been less than 3 weeks since the great Russian breakthrough at Pokrovsk (which was no breakthrough). And because it failed we have no reporting. Where are all the analyses once the Russians have failed. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
It should be.
This'll be very telling when he comes to speak. If Farage uses his appearance in front of that committee to encourage a foreign state to bully his own country, he'll have crossed a very specific line.
(feel v comfortable with Linehan getting arrested for his posts, think it was v obviously daft for him to get so dramatically arrested by armed cops the minute he got back on British soil)
A lot of the "we need a social media public square to have civil political debate about the issues" chat seems to imagine an unmet demand for Socratic dialogue on like, infrastructure planning, which only actually exists among like 6 Substack authors.
“But Labour are playing The Long Game on EU [and/or Single Market] membership” is something you don’t seem to hear anybody say anymore. Funny that.
The ICE agent with a "SEND ME" patch who was reportedly racially profiling drivers in Washington DC is Jason Christopher Perez of Austin, Texas. Additional footage I received matches pictures from social media of his arm tattoos. And an ICE email address with his name appears in a data breach.
Today's my birthday and I'm hoping @realDonaldTrump will send me one of his amazing handcrafted cards with a beautiful Sharpie-drawn woman on it
#France issues an arrest warrant for Bashar al-Assad over the 2012 killing of #journalists
Finally, we’ve been waiting on this ruling! Yet another illegal action by Trump. Now get them out of D.C. and keep them out of Chicago! A federal judge in California found that Trump crossed the line when he sent about 5,000 Marines and National Guard troops into Los Angeles during

Nobody knows if civil conflict will start in US. But this is certainly how a civil war could start. The breakdown of constitutional mechanisms to resolve tensions, leading to use of coercive and even lethal force by both ‘sides’. Yep, civil conflict is one foreseeable outcome of this escalation
"Russia has never had, does not have, and will never have any desire to attack anyone" -- Putin in Beijing. He simply keeps mocking all those who, for 25 years, have bent over backwards for this petty creature, tiptoeing around him in fear and granting full license to his megalomania and sadism.
