Who is the funniest person who could show up in the Epstein files? I have thought Naomi Wolf, but Alex Jones would also be hilarious

Our government's atrocities are bringing together Bears fans and Packers fans.
Reddit post of the Aye, I Could Do That meme. From Know Your Meme: "Aye, I Could Do That refers to a scene in Lord of the Rings: The Return of The King in which, approaching the final battle, Gimli says, "I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf." Legolas replies, "What about side by side with a friend?" to which Gimli replies, "Aye, I could do that." The scene was turned into an Object Labeling exploitable to show two groups, usually opposed, fighting against a common enemy." This post is a Bears fan saying "never thought I'd upvote a Packers post." "What about upvoting a fuck ICE post" "Aye, I could do that."

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Something's brewing with NHS ADHD services. My feeling is that Wes Streeting can't quite gage the public mood, so cynically exploiting it is on hold. But consent it actively being manufactured for limiting access, so if you've been considering it, I'd advise you to get yourself in the system ASAP.

Another ICE shooting in Minneapolis, which tonight looks like a war zone.

🚨 An ICE-linked federal officer shot a man in the leg during a confrontation in north Minneapolis. The ICE agent and the man he shot are reportedly in the hospital.

Thought I’d do a mega hread on NPR, partly because I’ve seen some London based commentary that doesn’t really get the bigger picture quite right imho

I think it would be really nice if the foreign and domestic policy desks of the Telegraph could have a chat about what politics they support. The conversation might surprise them!
