I've been to a number of official queer events since the DUP's Tracy Kelly became Lord Mayor of Belfast, pledging to be a Lord Mayor for everybody, and she hasn't been at a single one of them. Every event it has been the deputy Lord Mayor.

It was a memorial service much like the man, restrained and proper yet charged with quiet energy. But as Washington honored Dick Cheney for his service and devotion to country, it underscored how much politics has turned topsy in this country. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u...

In 2019, a Higgins staffer resigned after police alleged that the staffer was part of a sex-trafficking ring involving Chinese women who were reportedly forced to live and perform sex acts at local massage parlors. (The staffer resigned and charges were not pursued.)
Republican Clay Higgins was the only member of the House to vote against releasing the Epstein files.
Here’s a damning investigation from @nlanard.bsky.social worth reading today in light of that: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Clay Higgins built his brand on law and order. He pals around with a man guilty of incest.
