Raskin: To promote justice for the people, you've got to listen to the victims like the women seated behind you today. Those are just some of the hundreds of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's global sex trafficking ring. You still haven't with them.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

IMDB has flagged Melania the documentary for “unusual voting activity”. Someone is trying to pump up the viewer ratings after critics said it was a worthless piece of shit.

Epstein matters because of the way it exposes the link between political corruption and abuse of power and the depravity of powerful men who think they are above the law and above scrutiny. This latest is shocking but wholly unsurprising.
Extraordinary: Mandelson told Epstein that JP Morgan should "threaten" then cabinet colleague and chancellor Alistair Darling over tax on bankers' bonuses. In plain language: "Minister conspired with US bank against own government".

Gifford: This ridiculous rhetoric by the president—it’s going to impact every single American because it makes them lose faith in us.
That makes them less likely to travel here, buy American products, or invest here. This broken trust—the work of diplomacy—is very hard to build back.

More from Iran. Major unrest is reported in Sabzevar, Jannatabad, Tehran’s Sattari area, and Shiraz. In Shiraz, huge crowds on a bridge chanted “Long live the Shah”, the numbers are striking.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

If BBC News was a hotbed of left-wing wokery producing *systemically* biased coverage Jeremy Corbyn may well have been elected Prime Minister in 2019.
It’s not. He wasn’t.
And we got Boris Johnson instead.

Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.
