Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

We're keen to challenge the predicate to the case brought by the (revoltingly homophobic) Christian Institute: that upholding the rights of those protected by the Equality Act is a contestable and political stance. So, thanks, I guess to them.
Supporting LGBT+ rights is political in a way that breaches the civil service code and opposing them is not political in a way that precludes charitable status is a... complex position to hold, although one managed by former LGBA hate group with charitable status trustee Kathleen Stock.

Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things.
When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

Russia is prepared to confirm in a legal agreement that it has no intention of attacking the European Union or NATO. This was stated by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov on Monday.
Sometimes something unplanned happens.
Some agreements are not worth the paper they are written on.

Trump has begun lifting American sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military. The Russians have finally offered enough money to the Trump family and Trump is 100% on Russia's side now.

Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any gov’t to say who those rights should & should not apply to. If that happens than none of us has rights, just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want

A state service branded to the leader is a hallmark of personalist governance. Benefits appear to flow from Trump, not the institution. Citizens are repositioned as clients. Well-being becomes linked to political allegiance. The Constitution recedes, and Trump becomes the perceived gatekeeper.
