The BBC's Institutional Anti-Left Bias The BBC's decision to scrap a planned Zack Polanski interview on the channel's flagship Laura Kuenssberg show has caused fury within the Green Party

…”the reason Gary Lineker was forced out for his political views, but Jeremy Clarkson never was”…

Thanks, New Yorker

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?”

AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

The League of Women Voters of the U.S. & Illinois have issued this powerful statement. In our 100+ years of voting rights advocacy, there has never been a need to speak out against treating fellow citizens like enemies. Sadly, there is now. Stand with us: bit.ly/48jzFH8 @lwvus.bsky.social

Am I correct that the only Americans to get any benefit from the WH this year who isn’t in the Administration (or a relative) are Ghislaine Maxwell and the 1/6 insurrectionists?

“In the place where I am now, I look back over my life. What message do I want to leave?”

My goodness. Watch “Famous Last Words: Jane Goodall” on Netflix. She moved me to pieces as always.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

If Russ Vought believes federal employees should continue to work during the shutdown and not be paid back for their work,* I can't see any reason why they'd show up for work at all.

* Federal law requires feds to receive back pay. Vought is refusing to follow the law.

Greta welcomed by activists in Greece

It is confirmed that Israel mistreated and tried to harm Greta Thunberg after she was captured, including abuse & forcing her to kiss the Israeli flag while taking pictures of her. Thanks to Swedens swift response she was successfully removed from Israel; taken back to safety with no further harm.

Probably over the winter. We got too busy with classes and Back Porch readings.

EXCLUSIVE: Freed Flotilla Activist David Adler Details His ‘Violent Abduction’ by Israel The Jewish American writer says Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir specifically targeted him, forcing a photo op with the Israeli flag and calling him a “terrorist.”

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

SEN. HIRONO: “Did you approve shutting down the bribery investigation into Homan?”

BONDI: “Are you Antifa?” 🤡

(That’s a yes)

Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he'll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away

Greta Thunberg called out Russia and Israel, Pope Leo called out Russia and Israel, the late Jane Goodall called out Russia and Israel. Notice a pattern? Intelligent and heroic people stand against tyranny whether it is Russia or Israel.

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

Good morning! Love that song. Heading over to Walgreens to get my flu shot and inquire about COVID booster. Happy to announce that our Poetry Playhouse Publications has just launched a new book, by noted NYC author George Wallace and

Possibly the only succesful export from the USA: kidnapped migrants.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

So, this is where all the money is going to, while Americans lose their healthcare among others.

No clue who Zach Bryan is but apparently he pissed off maga by making an anti-ICE country song.

Another tragic accident.
