The Trump administration says there will be no more Epstein files released. Over half of the 6 million documents remain sealed.

Pam Bondi’s response:
β€œThe DOJ is done.”

Probably a good time for Democrats to point out Trump has never once pumped his own gas in his whole life. He has almost no idea how much gas costs or how it impacts normal people's budgets.

President Trump says the decision on when to end the war in Iran will be a mutual one between him and Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Nobody knows for certain how Trump’s War on Iran will play out or end.

The only thing we know for certain is that Trump will declare victory no matter what happens.

Good news is I'm not due to retire for another twenty years.

Bad news is that by then things might have just about recovered enough for a future US president to launch another disastrous intervention in the Middle East.

wild that we spent years with a debate in Europe about whether governments can make the case to their populations to endure higher energy prices as part of collective solidarity against Russia etc only to watch Trump say "fuck it" and skyrocket energy prices overnight with no justification at all

Gonna double down with a reminder that if you post a screenshot of text from an article you should alt text it & link to the fucking article!!!! If you found it on the internet you should share the link!!! Do not force me to Nancy Drew my way back to the source by triangulating fonts w/news outlets.

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

Responding to Psychologist Uta Frith: Autism Can’t Be Quantified Autism will never fit in the disease model because it is not a disease; it is part of the human condition. That is the beauty of the spectrum.

Uta Frith, a foundational autism researcher, recently said that the autism spectrum has "lost its meaning." She couldn't be more wrong. "The spectrum concept has helped to humanize autistic people," according to Anne Borden King's response, at TPGA:

Oil is not up because of just the war. It’s because Trump has been bat shit crazy in how he has been talking and has made no effort to lay the case out logically.

The β€œTehran Square” Hegseth refers to here does not exist. He’s probably thinking of Tahrir Square in Cairo. Azadi Square would be the rough equivalent in Iran.

EXCLUSIVE: The Secret War Between Jared Kushner and Jeffrey Epstein Led to Epstein’s Deathβ€”and the Second Iran War The key to unlocking the Trump-Epstein Scandal’s secretsβ€”including, now, the Second Iran Warβ€”is to understand the Scandal as a proxy war between two men set on gaining control of U.S. foreign policy.

(🚨) EXCLUSIVE: The Secret War Between Jared Kushner and Jeffrey Epstein Led to Epstein’s Deathβ€”and the Second Iran War

This book-length work acts as Book 4 of the 1200-pg. epic PROOF OF DEVILRYβ€”a Proof Series entry that’s the most expansive journalistic enterprise related to Epstein ever published.

This is no longer about saving the corner building. It's lost. All the SFRS can do is try to prevent what would be a catastrophic spread to Glasgow Central Station.

Drone footage captures the devastating destruction to the building right next to Glasgow's historic Central Station. Part of it has collapsed after a fire started in a vape shop and ripped through the whole structure.

Fire on union st, currently destroying buildings from the side entrance of Central Station through to Gordon st

The Union St fire is so intense, it's hard to say just what devastation it will bring to the City Centre yet.

I hope we will see this eventually under control, & urgent discussions by all levels of Government & owners to assist rebuilding a true cornerstone of Scotland's busiest railway station πŸ’š

Autistic girls much less likely to be diagnosed, study says By age 20 diagnosis rates for men and women almost equal, research finds, challenging assumptions of gender discrepancy

Something to take into account on #InternationalWomensDay: Females may be just as likely to be autistic as males but boys are up to four times more likely to be diagnosed in childhood, according to a large-scale study. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

THIS. If you’re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, you’re at risk.

Conservative peer quits after Lords probe into PPE deals It comes after a Lords standards probe into his contacts with ministers and advisers during the pandemic.

The VIP lane was rotten to the core.

Kristi Noem is gone. Good, but it’s the bare minimum. Two American citizens killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. Court orders violated. FEMA gutted. Firing her doesn’t fix all of that, but it’s a start.
