Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

Unrwa says Israel still blocking critical aid despite ceasefire

You may say it was a daft idea to trap last night - well, it was & it wasn't. On the plus-side, my first December Moth for four years, although it was the only moth in the trap. Also on the minus-side, my bulb failed at some time after 11.30. Perhaps the cold was too much for it? VC37 SO96 #teammoth
