Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...
A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation

With tonight's @bluemoonpodcast.com live show done (online tomorrow), that brings to a close another season... The 16th I've done the podcast for now. If it was a child, it'd be leaving high school or could legally drink wine, beer or cider with a meal in a restaurant. My baby is growing up.

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents.

Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

This exchange is so very telling.

Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:

"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

The Daily Mail headline editors seem to have positioned the Kemi Badenoch headline in such a way as to wink wink nod nod suggest a connection between "trans" and "predatory men".

Wink wink nod nod? Sorry, I meant FOGHORN!

This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this.

I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

Friends I spoke to said Richer and Davis were inseparable in DC. They did almost everything together. Here's a video Steve Davis posted of Richer performing in a flashmob for Mr. Yogato, the frozen yogurt store Davis ran in DC.

Yesterday we published a story on Steve Davis, Musk's fixer at DOGE. Some reporting didn't make it into the story because it was a bit tangential. But it's important in understanding how working for Musk can shift someone's relationships.

So, meet Stephen Richer.
