Warning: graphic details in screenshots, about Trump’s sexual encounters with one of Epstein’s victims and his preference for a specific part of her body, that he hurt. Ew, I know. But this needs to be everywhere. There are witnesses to the fact he’s a sexual predator.

Since the American media is too busy with The Frenzy to cover the explosive legal filings in the Epstein/Trump case except on page A43, the UK press steps in:

HOW LONG have we been telling you that Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset? Since 2016, that's how long. 10 years. And no one listens.

New: The contents of a hacked computer belonging to John Mark Dougin, an American ex-cop living in Russia, offer documentary evidence that he worked with the FSB and GRU to peddle disinformation. He liaised with GRU Unit 29155 the originator of the Ukraine biolabs hoax, and his "moment of triumph came in June 2026, when information from his investigation was endorsed by @TulsiGabbard, who was serving as director of national intelligence in the Trump administration." https://t.co/yUTo5ZAEq7

⛔️Very sad and heartbreaking ‼️

⛔️ Virginia resident calls out Speaker Johnson on air:

“As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party, and I'm very disappointed in you. You do have the power to call the House back. You refused to do that just for a show. I am begging you to pass this legislation. My kids could die. We don't have the credit because of the medical bills that I have to pay regularly.‼️”

Wow!

Compromised!!

@kabae @JaredHuffman @RepJeffries This is still not the Dem house, it's still the old Republican one. Jeffries is not the whip, it's the whip who needs to be replaced. Stat.

[Ale @aliasvaughn]

Congressman @JaredHuffman on CNN was crystal clear about Hegseth: "Well if he's not going to resign, we WILL remove him. He is NOT going to be the Secretary of defense."
THIS is exactly the spirit. No more playing around.

Katherine Clark is the Democratic Whip in the House, and it is thus her responsibility to ensure members are there to vote.

Clark is also a founding member of EDW, which hosted an event tonight from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, overlapping with the 5:30pm vote on the Hegseth impeachment.

Of the 11 members who missed the Hegseth vote, 8 have received support from EDW or its AIPAC-tied super PAC EDW Action. Of those 8, two are sitting board members.

When the extent of Trump's corruption, lying and crimes is uncovered (and rest assured it WILL be uncovered now), the consequences are going to be so dramatic it will take years to undo the damage. And a long time to hold everyone accountable. But JUSTICE IS COMING.

Alina also still faces a $1M sanction for filing a frivolous lawsuit on behalf of the demented psychopath. BTW, if you are confused about her name, please be aware that she changes her last name w/ every new husband (3x & counting).

Crazy voter suppression based on unverified credit card data deregistering voters in Hinds County, Mississippi. Certify @scott_colom and let Mississippi have an efficient transition!

🚨 BIG NEWS: A federal judge just dealt Trump’s DOJ THREE major setbacks in Katie Phang's Epstein Files lawsuit—including ordering the release of previously withheld FBI notes involving sexual abuse allegations against Trump. And that’s just the beginning. https://t.co/W84RpSQas0

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Okay, let’s reason this out. Thinking caps 𝗢𝗡.

If Hegseth committed high crimes or misdemeanors, and if he did them at the behest of, or on behalf of, or in cahoots with, someone else, say, I don’t know … uh … let’s assume the president of the United States … that would mean .…

Gosh, I’m stumped. I know there’s a logical conclusion here that should be obvious, but it’s just escaping me.

Could it mean that someone else has committed impeachable, removable acts too??

If so, who would that be?? Just completely stumped. But I feel strongly there must be a clear answer.

Damn, this is almost as hard as the president’s cognitive tests.

Can anyone out there help? @Grok, do you know?

[Mike Quigley @RepMikeQuigley]

Tonight, I voted to impeach Pete Hegseth. While that vote failed, impeachment will happen. 

It might happen tomorrow, it might happen in January—but we will remove him as Secretary of Defense and we will get justice for our veterans, servicemembers, and military families.

@Mollyploofkins The fool blew up all those fishermen who had families. I guess he saw it as some kinda sport. To The Hague he should go. Race and hate baiting

[Molly Ploofkins @Mollyploofkins]

Deliberately targeting shipwrecked or hors de combat (out of combat) survivors is treated under longstanding U.S. and international law as either a war crime (if an armed conflict exists: prohibited “no quarter” or attack on the helpless) or murder (if no armed conflict exists, as most experts argue is the case with drug cartels). The Department of Defense Law of War Manual itself lists “orders to fire upon the shipwrecked” as a classic example of a clearly illegal order. Command responsibility applies to senior officials. Historical precedent (e.g., the WWII Peleus case) treated killing shipwrecked survivors as a serious war crime.

The September 2, 2025 incident involved an initial strike on a boat (killing most of 11 people) followed by a second strike that killed two survivors clinging to the wreckage. Washington Post reporting (anonymous sources) said Hegseth gave a spoken “kill everybody” directive and the second strike complied with it. Hegseth, the White House, and Adm. Frank Bradley (who oversaw the operation and briefed Congress) denied any “kill everybody” or no-quarter order; accounts differ on whether the second strike was ordered to eliminate survivors, sink the vessel, or because the men were still viewed as threats. Subsequent operations reportedly rescued survivors. This specific episode, along with the broader boat-strike campaign (hundreds killed with no interdiction, trial, or congressional authorization for force), is cited in current impeachment articles (including Rep. Thomas Massie’s Article V on extrajudicial killings).⁠

As of November 10, 2026, Massie has forced procedural action on eight articles; Hegseth has publicly dismissed them as a “farce,” “political spectacle,” and policy disagreements over lawful operations ordered by the President. Impeachment requires a House majority; conviction and removal require a two-thirds Senate vote, which is a high bar. The legal analyses from former military lawyers and scholars treat the reported survivor killings as a clear high crime; the administration maintains the operations are lawful. The ultimate determination is political as much as legal.⁠

In short, the conduct described in the X post meets the standard many legal experts use for impeachable high crimes if the facts are as reported, which is why it appears in formal articles.

Vance blames Iran war for midterm losses, all the remaining MAGA lemmings do the same. Congress reps lose the majority of their seats due to it. Then they vote to NOT impeach Hegseth who is responsible for the war. 😂 pathetic.
