Let’s be clear about what the Trump regime is saying to Minnesota: “We will continue murdering your citizens unless you help us rig your election.”
Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

Nigel Farage's attendance record as an MEP was 748 out of 751, yet he turned up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian disinformation. Now one of his MEPs has admitted taking bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Why is this not all over the media?

In Britain, a former far-right Reform party politician has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian viewpoints.
Another scandal that should be the end of Reform but will be ignored unless we make a lot of noise about it.

Why did the BBC broadcast Nigel Farage uninterrupted for 56 minutes this morning?
Nobody wants this, he has 4 seats, does any other party gets this coverage?
The biased people at the BBC putting Nigel Farage on day after day need to be removed.

Just a reminder for Border Control admitting any corrupt golfer-felons who have stolen natsec documents this weekend: the UK Border Agency can refuse entry based on an individual's character, conduct, or associations, or if they pose a threat to national security. Looks like all four grounds apply.

‘By then, Hitler and the Nazis had found the simple slogan they repeated again and again to discredit reporters: “Lügenpresse.”…which in English is “fake news.” ‘
