Glad they don’t entertain the notion that it’s because they want any kind of justice for victims of child sex trafficking but I’m also very tired of every fucking devastating thing happening anywhere ever being some kind of barometer or referendum on midterms
News Analysis: The willingness of congressional Republicans to defy President Trump and back legislation on the Epstein files was the clearest evidence yet that GOP lawmakers are starting to look beyond Trump’s tenure to their self-preservation in midterm elections next year.
Congressional Republicans Begin to Look Beyond Trump
Election defeats earlier this month and the approach of 2026 have G.O.P. lawmakers cautiously asserting themselves.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

RIP to a monumental talent
We are so sad to hear that Dave Ball, the keyboard genius of Soft Cell, has died. He was an electronic pop pioneer and with Marc Almond made a unique catalogue of songs, completely original in sound and content. Our love and condolences go to Marc and all those close to Dave. Neil and Chris xx
