You mean the billionaires lied and decided they want to keep just about every penny for themselves? Shocking

When Anthropic was created, its co-founders pledged to commit 80% of their personal equity holdings in the company to philanthropic causes. As they prepare to take the company public, they appear to be walking back that pledge.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

If you have voted absentee, please verify that your ballot has been been not only received but also accepted by your clerk. Thousands of ballots are not being accepted for simple reasons like people didn’t sign their name as required or the signature didn’t match that on file. Check yours today!

Early voting has started in 47 states and D.C., so if you don't live in Mississippi, New Hampshire, or Alabama, you should be able to vote now, or fill out your mail in ballot and take it to the nearest drop box, without waiting another week.

Sadly, if this allegation is true, it wouldn’t be the first time Donald Trump was found to have raped a woman “the jury’s finding that Mr Trump ‘sexually abused’ Ms Carroll implicitly determined that he forcibly penetrated her digitally-in other words, that Mr Trump in fact did rape Ms Carroll”

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

If Kennedy’s larger point is that some political cultures are associated with an unfriendly attitude to knowledge that might be slightly more persuasive if he was not a MAGA anti-vax ideologue who is undermining the largest US research center (NIH) as part of a broader assault on higher education

Former Miss Switzerland Accuses Trump of Rape. Now you get why Trump has to support the vile Vivek ad calling Amy Acton a liar about being raped as a child. Trump is always protecting himself so he smears all rape victims as liars. www.mediaite.com/media/news/f...

Yesterday on fallow land I saw plants that once buzzed with bees & insects before 2000… now silent. Pesticides didn’t just kill pests. They wiped out the pollinators that keep us alive. No bees = no food security. This is environmental terrorism by design.

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

Israel votes today with polls showing it neck-and-neck between Netanyahu’s Far Right bloc and the mainly Hard Right opposition bloc. All but one of the leading Jewish parties have ruled out working with the Arab blocs.

bbc.co.ukIsrael heads to polls for pivotal election defined by security and democracyMany fear neither of the leading political blocs will win enough seats for a majority - meaning weeks or months of political wrangling may lie ahead.

To those saying that if Democrats take control of Congress they should ‘do the right thing’ and be better than Republicans and not embark on ‘revenge’ by trying to impeach Donald Trump…I say, it’s not revenge.

Honestly the complete lack of coverage on this Turning Point UK story is going to do me in. Compare Israel to South Africa and The Lads will go through your bins, but have links to senior right-wing politicians and brag about being able to hire hitmen? Nada. Not interested. Budget's soon y'know

Maria Sale reposted

The Lads clearly know who Turning Point UK are, and not just that but that they are "unabashedly racist" and have links to both Reform and the Conservatives. Reeeaaaaally feels worth commenting on the fact that this organisation was recently exposed as claiming to be able to contract assassinations
