LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.

So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

BREAKING: Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says

Ben Smith: I don’t know if Stephen Miller resigns before the midterms, resigns after the midterms, or sticks around. But this feels like that moment when a president puts a lot of confidence in one adviser to steer national policy in a direction that turns out to be politically disastrous.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

Bombshell Epstein File Reveals FBI Interviewed Underage Trump Accuser A paper trail starting with an FBI slideshow is raising new questions about the president.

“[Redacted] stated Epstein introduced her to Trump who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out. (date range 1983-1985, [redacted] would have been 13-15).”

Happy Lunar New Year everyone! This is probably the clearest handheld photo of the moon I’ve ever taken (Sony A6000/55-200mm). It’s amazing to know that every human being who has ever lifted their eyes toward the night sky will have seen the same view of the moon that you and I do. #moon #luna

🇪🇺 The EU's attempt to penalize foreign ports and banks that Russia uses to illicitly sell oil is running into opposition, - Bloomberg

Several EU countries, including 🇮🇹Italy and 🇭🇺Hungary, have raised concerns about proposals to hit ports in Georgia and Indonesia, as well as a bank in Cuba.

Fun plane pics :)

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:

"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."

He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

Brankesmere Southsea, watercolour 1974

Here are some #Southsea #watercolour drawings from 50 years ago. G and I needed temporary accommodation before spending a year in Manchester and we had a wonderful time in a rented flat in Kent Road. I did these from the window plus others and will always treasure them. The building is Brankesmere.

Damning prison projections uncovered by The Independent reveal the government’s action plan to tackle the scandal of indefinite jail terms will leave hundreds of prisoners to rot

Trump's next move will be to stop all elections. The Constitution means nothing to Trump. He violates it regularly with impunity. He will start a war if he needs to.

Democracy, as we practice it, is the embodiment of the illusion of free will.

Tomorrow, the Oversight Committee will have the opportunity to question Les Wexner about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Survivors told us from day one: follow the money. That is exactly what we intend to do.

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

Social media sites subpoenaed for identities behind anti-ICE accounts. "[DHS] is... sending tech companies legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize the agency." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Contact Congress today!

Quick question: if you could tell your representatives right now to impeach Kristi Noem, would you do it?

Well, here’s your chance:

Israel foreign ministry: ‘This text is factually baseless and intentionally misleading. The Palestinian Authority is the one advancing illegal land registration procedures in Area C, in violation of the law and existing agreements. The Israeli government approved an

Reuters reports that a panel of Independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council, after reviewing the latest tranche of Epstein documents concluded that so grave is the scale of these atrocities, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold for crimes against humanity.

What’s one way we can rein in ICE?

We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty.

Watch.

Meat is a leading emissions source – but few outlets report on it, analysis finds Sentient Media reveals less than 4% of climate news stories mention animal agriculture as source of carbon emissions

Humans, your media are wilfully hiding a grubby little climate secret i.e. the extent to which greenhouse gas emissions are caused by meat & dairy🐮🐷🐏🐔🌎🥵

And at the same time their 'Food' sections continue to promote meat & dairy ingredients.

A version was even sent to the National Cyber Security Centre, part of GCHQ. The latter declined to launch an investigation, but Labour Together weaponised the referral to start a whispering campaign against fair, legitimate and diligent reporting. Labour Together played a welcome role in expunging Mr Corbyn and his allies from the party, but this does not justify ignoring rules. Pugilism is one thing, rule-breaking and espionage quite another.

Okay, so this the paper is just going with LOL fuck you, we can do and say whatever we want, who is going to even criticise us for this shit, let alone anything else? And why wouldn’t they, they are free to behave as horrifically as they want. Unlike Labour Together, ironically.

A pastel painting of the monumental RC Cambridge church known as OLEM seen from the grounds of Downing College. This was sold but I can't remember when or to whom.

Another #pastel from the year after the previous posting showing the view from #DowningCollege across to the Gothic Revival Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and the English Martyrs, still listed as the tallest building in Cambridge (known as #OLEM). I used to walk past it every day.
