The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

If a Big Asshole supports a Huge Asshole for years,
and only finally admits the Huge Asshole's an asshole cuz he's being an asshole to HER,
that doesn't magically mean the Big Asshole's no longer an asshole too.
SHE'S STILL A BIG ASSHOLE.
That's my take on Marjorie Taylor Greene.

I don't have the words for how disappointed I am with the UK Labour Party
Lots of Labour MPs asking Mahmood tonight to rule out child detention. She won’t rule it out. That’s because forced removals of families will mean children in detention for periods.
Home Office ruling out deportation of lone minors but the changes will certainly mean more detention of children.
