A good summary of the House Judiciary Dems' 50-p report on Trump's history as a violent sexual predator, including a well vetted, under-oath account from Beatrice Keul of how Trump raped her in an Atlantic City hotel room in 1993, after the pair were introduced to one another by Jeffrey Epstein.

i think what bothers me the most about these vids is the people laughing and clapping in the background it's giving
Left: President Trump insults Norway calling it a sh*thouse country Right: Visit Norway, the tourism board, trolls President Trump, displaying some of their best toilets on their Instagram 😅

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

NHS England’s chair is paid by a VC firm invested in a private ADHD provider. When senior leaders and MPs have current or recent financial links to private healthcare companies, the chances they’ll be concerned about NHS privatisation are pretty low… observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis. They profit from polluting industries, and through the ‘adaptation economy’. Super-rich buy govts, control means of production and think tanks. Victims pay higher prices for food, homes, relocations. Who governs?

I get that the media is slow to catch up with things. I'm in the media, I am slow to catch up with things. But the week Reform's crowd looks like this, the BBC chooses _this week_ to go live to Farage's endless remarks on the budget; makes absolutely no sense
By all accounts this is what most of the recent Reform media events have looked like. Bubble well and truly burst

“When Russia attacked, it felt like a political tsunami” Incredible to think that Putin’s “3 day special military operation” is not far off a 6 year war on Ukraine, where Russia’s military personnel losses amount to >1,500,000 for very little land gain. samf.substack.com/p/when-russi...

Beatrice Keul: "A beauty queen assaulted and threatened by Donald Trump also alleges the president’s first wife, Ivana, played a role inside the disgraced financier’s operation."
1. New rape allegation ☝️ Beatrice Keul, Swiss pageant... told committee staff that Trump “violently raped” her in a suite at New York’s Plaza Hotel during his Nov 1993 American Dream pageant. She says that earlier that day, Epstein approached her and introduced himself as “Don’s best friend.”

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.
BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Water companies want to push up bills even further. AND Thames Water wants an excruciatingly expensive £2.4 billion bailout. No more water company failures at our expense. Let them go bust! 1/2
