On June 30, 2008, Jeffrey Epstein pled guilty to Procuring Person under 18 for Prostitution.
Not every person who associated with him after that date was a pedophile. But every person who associated with him after that date was at least okay with hanging out with one.

BREAKING: Donald Trump’s name has been redacted from the Epstein files multiple times according to Jamie Raskin.
Tomorrow Pam Bondi must be asked straight out why she redacted Trump‘s name from the Epstein files and why she has redacted so many other names from the Epstein files. What is she hiding?

So all these names of those involved with Epstein are coming out.....but it's Bad Bunny the Republicans want to investigate 🤷♀️
Alford: "On Bad Bunny - we're still investigating. There's info out about the lyrics. I don't speak fluent Spanish, but if it's true what was said on natl TV, we have a lot of Qs for entities that broadcast it & we'll be talking w/ the FCC. This could be worse than the Janet wardrobe malfunction"

Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.
She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

The law on universities and free speech prevents speakers from being *disinvited after they have been invited*. It does not require universities to provide a platform to whoever demands one.
Let's not mince words: the threat to cut funding to every university who disagrees with them is fascist.

This is pretty menacing.

When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.

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.
