This is a bombshell: One of Epstein's victims accused Trump of sexually and violently assaulting her when she was "13 to 15" and the FBI deemed her credible enough to warrant an interview.
FBI Interviewed Trump Accuser, Epstein Files Show
Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

Under Holyrood’s system, SNP list votes are often wasted once constituencies are won.

That hands seats to unionist parties and weakens the pro-independence majority.

Independence needs cooperation not one-party dominance.

Independence support can’t be taken for granted.

FYI: If Trump weren't a pedophile, he would be suing for defamation.

The impact of ICE operations saturated every aspect of the day in the schools outside of Minneapolis. Dozens of parents were in custody. Hundreds more had decided school was too risky and enrolled their children in online classes.
This small school district kept losing students to ICE. So it mobilized.
Outside of Minneapolis, the five schools in Columbia Heights have taken an aggressive approach to protecting the immigrant families of their students.

VAT-registered brewers in the UK must charge 20% VAT on their beer to customers, in addition to paying separate Alcohol Duty to HMRC...

Eh? WTF?

Some Breweries may benefit from relief, but all VAT-registered brewers must pay VAT AND duty, ALL to Westminster.

We REALLY need Scottish Independence.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

There never much news on regarding the Deform party in British MSM, apart from good news of course. So that'll mean it's a model party with great candidates right?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social & @henryriley1.bsky.social look into that for us.....surely they won't find anything

When a person who tried to steal an election with an orchestrated insurrection tells you he’s going to protect future elections, you’re fucked. The time to deal with him is now America. The rest of us are doing our part. Your turn.

This is so embarrassing.

The cartel drones Pam Bondi was sounding the alarm about during the hearing turned out to be… party balloons.

This administration is so incompetent.

ICE may have lost the battle for public opinion, and its operation may be hampered by local pushback, but it has succeeded in one respect: It has instilled terror in Minnesota’s immigrant communities, forcing them into the shadows.

So dark — Tennessee-based @CoreCivic wants to be making even more money on ICE detentions.

“ICE was our first customer 43 years ago, and has been our largest customer for over a decade,” CoreCivic CEO Patrick Swindle said on the earnings call.

According to Argentinisn friends, life is very, very hard for ordinary Argentinians under Milei. UK should heed it well - Farage would impose the same on the country.

This is what the far right calls ‘freedom’! 12-hour work days, no severance pay, punished for striking.
Milei is a monster, and guess who wants to meet him, and talk tactics?
Yup, Fascist Farage has praised Milei, reportedly describing his politics as “Thatcherism on steroids”!
