Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

A 2016 civil lawsuit found in the Epstein files alleges that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in NY. Epstein raped her too.

For anyone wondering why the victim dropped the case…

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.

Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

A question a few of us New Zealand trickies ...

Can WT analysis and others offer a data based view on whether Ortega is as good as / better than Sels overall or in specific aspects of the keeper role?

Maybe one for the deadline day show perhaps?

Thanks Matt

It's the year 3226 and in the toxic wasteland previously known as the UK people scrape up moss from the decaying ruins for something to eat.
The desperate survivors still hear the nasally cry of "This is why we need a proper Brexit" ringing from the darkest recesses of what were once the sewers.

First, journalists who step one foot over the line are targeted. Then scrutiny fades—and power operates in the dark.

The real question isn’t “Did Don Lemon trespass?”
It’s: why is the government working this hard to handcuff reporters?

History shows a pattern here.

When governments begin criminalizing the observation of dissent—using technical oversteps as justification—it’s often a warning sign. We’ve seen similar patterns precede press crackdowns in countries like Turkey, Russia, and Myanmar.

Exactly my experience. Two months & counting with no broadband

At every step slingshot email to say the problem is fixed & close the fault WITHOUT checking if it works. Am on my FIFTH separate fault reference.

If you set out to design the worst customer service in the world this would be it
Jeepers! None of the NZ broadband providers score terribly well.

Republicans set fire to the 1st and 2nd Amendments for Donald Trump. Masked agents murdering civilians and arresting journalists aren't things that happen in America, until now.

Borders also keep you in
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

The fact that this individual is allowed to remain a member of the Conservative Party while going around saying dangerous and frankly bonkers stuff like this is one indication of how far it has to travel before being ready to resume power.

Camps, where detainees can be concentrated.
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

Pinch yourself: a greater Great North Road is finally here 🤩

In so many ways, it’s a role model for other arterial roads.

A new kind of route has opened up - one that's a joy to ride.
