"Cool dude, see you in discovery!" is the obvious UNO Reverse card to Trump's attempts to bully organizations by suing them for a trillion dollars. It's a massive indictment of the US system that one after another institutions and major organizations settled and paid bribes rather than play it.

President Donald Trump is seeking to stave off a court order that requires him to begin giving the BBC financial details on his business empire by Thursday in connection with a defamation lawsuit he is pressing against the network. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

Wyden revealed he was interviewed for the show in a Senate report alleging the country's largest banks turned “a blind eye” to Epstein's financial activity

🎶When I was just a little girl I asked my mother what would I be Will I be pretty? Will I be rich? Here's what she said to me🎶 DON'T YOU OPEN THAT TRAPDOOR (You're a fool if you dare) STAY AWAY FROM THAT TRAPDOOR ('cause there's something down there)

This is a constant theme with economists and a lot of neoliberals in general: they always assume that wealth is the only end goal. They're repeatedly blindsided by both good and evil movements that want to achieve anything other than a share price

A point economists & wannabe capitalists still miss: racism trumps making money in the USA. As this and many other nonsensical but deadly polices demonstrate.

Many parts of southern England recorded 0mm of rainfall in July, a first since records began in 1871. No sign of meaningful rainfall in the next 2 weeks either as high pressure re-builds, the drought continues. 📷 Blackheath, London

Look, I know "Gender criticals" have no actual principles besides transphobia, but from a purely PR point of view, if you're all about "protecting women and girls", you'd not want to be caught praising the guy who assaulted his pregnant partner and said he wanted to rape 14 year old girls

Could be just me, but if you as an MP have based your, basically bs, "defence" of stripping trans individuals of rights to "protect women and girls" I wouldn't be out there vocally proclaiming how much you respect someone with domestic abuse allegations and a confirmed misogynist. Might be just me.

Yet another case here where, if we ask “who is the left wing equivalent of (horrific right wing pundit x)” then the answer is going to be “a horrible Twitter troll who has had the cops at his door multiple times for online crimes”. Not a guy who gets all the top twunts queuing up to pay tribute.

i'd say "pay attention to who has kind things to say about rod liddle, the racist pedophile, following his death" but to no surprise it is the entirety of the mainstream british press
