Epstein survivors placed an ad for Super Bowl Sunday to assert they will not move on from the Jeffrey Epstein rape trafficking case and to demand full accountability, transparency around his network and crimes. #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinCoverup #EpsteinFiles

U.S. Olympic athletes in Italy are speaking out about the political situation at home American skiers Mikaela Shiffrin and Hunter Hess and other Milan-Cortina Olympic athletes aren't shying away from talking about what's going on in the United States.

LA Times - Traditionally, US athletes have avoided discussing politics on the world stage. But at the Milan-Cortina Games, several Americans are speaking about the conflict of representing a country that may no longer be representing their values. www.latimes.com/sports/olympi...

History repeating itself?

UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupt it.

Reform UK under Nigel Farage controls Worcestershire Council and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy.

Never trust Reform UK. Imagine a country run by them. We'd be bankrupt with Trussite policies.

'The Mandelson-Epstein Scandal Is an Opportunity for Starmer to Radically Reform Our Broken Politics' The Prime Minister should use this moment to shine a light on the dark forces corrupting our democracy, argues former British diplomat Alexandra Hall Hall

I wrote this yesterday - Starmer could still turn his premiership around, if he finally, FINALLY, finds the courage to address the grubby circs which allow people like Mandelson to rise so far. bylinetimes.com/2026/02/07/t...

β€˜A stain on our history’: outrage after Trump shares racist video about Obamas as White House attempts to brush off the post – live Former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes slams Trump for posting racist video on Truth Social; Karoline Leavitt says criticism is β€˜fake outrage’

Bang on the money:

β€œLet it haunt Trump and his racist followers that future Americans will embrace the Obamas as beloved figures while studying him as a stain on our history.”

Trump is determined to be remembered as a 'great man'.
His curse is that he won't be.

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand.

Aliya Rahman is a disabled woman who was violently dragged from her car by ICE while on her way to a specialist’s appointment

She clearly told agents β€œI’m disabled”

Their response? β€œToo late”

They smashed her window. Cut off her seatbelt. Dragged her face down with her arms tied behind her back.
