BREAKING: The Epstein Files Weren’t Released. They Were Botched. And Now Trump’s DOJ Is in Full Collapse
Files are disappearing. Victims were exposed. Congress is moving for contempt. And the cover-up is officially worse than whatever they were trying to hide.

I have worked with a similar early visual record - 'A plan of Coalbrookdale by Thomas Slaughter, 1753'. I always suspected that the depicted buildings may have been reasonably accurate.

That's really interesting - close attention to detail. You could walk through that landscape in 1744 with the map and recogise individual buildings as you passed them?

Don’t fall for the spin: Republicans control the Senate and could end this shutdown anytime by changing the filibuster. Instead, they’re withholding paychecks and food benefits from families, disabled, and seniors. That’s not leadership—it’s cruelty.
It takes 51 senators to steamroll the filibuster and end the shutdown. That's it. There are 53 republicans in the senate.

Anyone blaming the democrats for this is lying.

Does the 1744 illustration reflect the appearance of the actual building?

CHICAGO: “My uncle was on his way home from getting groceries on his bike — they grabbed him and choked him and punched him… he’s a kind hardworking man. They’re racially profiling people.” Trump’s ICE goons put an elderly man in the hospital and nearly choked him to death.

Probable dinner plate from a ships's dinning service, London & Edinburgh Steam Packet Company. Circa 1820s. Plate is cracked, but otherwise intact. It would appear that, given the short life of the company, 1821-1836, few artifacts from the original London & Edinburgh SPC survive.

You decide not to entertain the neighbours by chasing the binmen up the street. Then you consider how you will confess your sins to your partner - who is bound to ask: "Did you put the bins out? (2 of 2)

'Bin Day' is when they wake you at 07:00 with crashes, thumps, sliding glass bottles - and cackling laughter. Its cold, its raining. You are tucked up in bed in your 'jamas, aware that you forgot to put the bin and the recycling out the night before. (1 of 2)
