Insolvency scam The boss of twice-bust business back despite £3m debts. These people gut a company, HMRC and creditors not paid. Then buy assets cheaply from the administrator in pre-packs, and back in business. Gone on for decades. No transparency of administrator dealings. No investigation.

The oath of office is more than words. After decades of service across the federal government, one thing remains unchanged: the pride and meaning of taking that oath to serve the American people. Listen to our Executive Director, Steven Cash, talk about taking the oath of office.

Elon Musk has now issued his fourth explanation for his actions in throttling StarLink and StarShield. Note that each of his explanations is inconsistent with its predecessor. And this one focuses on Ukraine supposedly violating its terms of service. If it did, that's an easily ascertainable fact.
