There was a UK Epstein. His name was Mohammed Fayed and Vanity Fair did go after him and then I spent two years investigating allegations of sexual abuse in defence of a libel suit. We proved the case beyond doubt. But this wasn't just about libel laws; police corruption was key to his survival.

This is the final paragraph of Conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch's opinion on Trump's illegal tariffs. These 250 words are all you need to understand the issue at stake and why yesterday's decision was so important. Worth a read.

This May’s elections are expected to bring chaos because our voting system is broken. I’ve written to my MP to push for fairer elections before it’s too late. It takes 2 minutes to do the same here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... @compassoffice.bsky.social

BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.” No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time. And it’s coming to your city next.

This new reporting is a very big deal. The previously reported number for the amount of money Elon Musk has gotten from the government—us—was slightly over $18 billion. We now know the figure is $38 billion. When you consider how much of Musk's wealth is actually liquid—very little—that is a ton.
