Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children he’ll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldn’t give a shit about the cost for everybody else.

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

Trump, who says he had "no idea" at the time that Epstein sexually molested girls, told the police in 2006 that "everyone has known he’s been doing this.” That's according to an FBI interview with the then-Palm Beach police chief.

necessary warning, incredibly about a serving President.
Trump has promised that his new TrumpRx website will cut drug costs. Beware: this site does NOT include information about whether a drug has a cheaper generic alternative and you WILL have to pay fully out of pocket. Shop around to make sure you're actually getting a deal.
STAT analysis: Many of the prescription drugs on TrumpRx are available elsewhere as cheaper generics. www.statnews.com/2026/02/06/t...

But once you get there, there’s no real next step. The existence of actual money to pay for things regularly to live on. A friend won a lot of awards in fringe with a play. He was of course asked to do a seminar on “improving access for working class artists”. They did not offer a fee.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
