Note to anyone angry that Trump's name was taken off the Kennedy Center, don't you worry. You can still find his name in the Epstein files over 38,000 times.
Rupert Lowe, a 68 year old, privately educated, former investment banker, backed by the world's richest man, is trying to convince you he's not the establishment.
This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

The landings were enabled by thousands of codebreakers, signallers, nurses, factory workers and intelligence assets - many of whom were women.
What a ridiculous hill to die on on today of all days.
It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.
JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

Spare us the civilisational lectures, you charlatan.
Atatiana Jefferson, 2019. Shot dead through her bedroom window during a welfare check. Playing video games with her eight-year-old nephew. The officer never identified himself.
Botham Jean, 2018. Shot dead eating ice cream in his own apartment by an off-duty officer who "thought it was her apartment".
John Albers, 2018. Seventeen years old. His friends called police because he was suicidal. Officers killed him during the welfare check.
Parkland, 2018. Seventeen children and staff massacred in their school. The armed officer paid to protect them? Hid outside.
Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School, Minab, February 2026. At least 175 dead, most of them girls aged 7 to 12. NYT analysis and US military investigators believe American forces struck the school. Trump blamed Iran without evidence. US Senators are still waiting for answers.
In 2025, American police killed 1,201 people. 98 unarmed. 233 school shootings at K-12 schools. American children do active shooter drills in primary school. American families are afraid to call for welfare checks because officers shoot the people they're sent to help.
Henry Nowak's father said: "We do not want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension". You used it anyway, to lecture a country 3,000 miles away while your administration bombs schoolgirls and your officers shoot people through bedroom windows.
The UK's government has plenty to answer for. But we don't take civilisational lectures from those who run a country that can't keep its children alive in their own classrooms and in their own homes and bomb children in far away lands, you pathetic charlatan.
Not a Labour Party member, but this is not bad in less than 2 years. Suggest Labour MPs, party members and wannabe leaders get a grip and do their stuff.
@Nigel_Farage You say this, yet one of your last votes in Parliament 11 weeks ago was to try to block a bill introducing improved sick pay, better paternity rights, and stronger trade union protections.
Not exactly on the side of workers, are you? 🤷♂️
.@wesstreeting is wrong to say new North Sea drilling will not “necessarily” mean cheaper energy bills - It’s an un arguable fact that it won’t. It can't because global markets set the price of oil and gas, even when we produce it here. Wes offers equivocation where certainty exists - that’s unhelpful, it could deceive people into thinking why not give it a go. On the question of more tax revenue from more drilling he offers certainty where equivocation is needed - it’s far from clear…
Take Rosebank for example, it needs nearly £3 billion of tax subsidies to get going and may never pay tax. Our North Sea is all but empty and politicians jumping on this bandwagon are doing the public no favours - Tony Blair included. This is a fossil fuel crisis, we won't solve it with more fossil fuels - we need 100% green energy ASAP and to ‘break the link’ for real. The link that prices our own wind and sun according to the global price of gas - a ridiculous mechanism that strips enormous value for our economy and impoverishes millions of us.
Ed faked it, we need to actually break the link.
@Stern_Sherry9 Hi sherry, my husband similarly diagnosed 5 years ago. Still going strong. I recommend the macmillan online forum hugely. Vast resource of information, help support and compassion. I wish you all the best
When I worked for Nigel I cannot remember him being in the slightest bit interested in this subject or meeting any survivors.
Neither can Jane Collins, the lady who did the work. In fact, he all but abandoned her .
I was a prison officer, Nick. You can't preach "tough on crime." Your lot cut nearly 7,000 prison officers since 2010 and handed our jails to G4S and Serco. You broke the system, then act shocked it doesn't work.
You know what actually works? Lads out on licence getting their track tickets, learning a trade, coming home as taxpayers instead of reoffenders. That's using human capital, not warehousing it. A lad sat in a cell doing nothing helps nobody.
And funny how quiet you all go on the tax dodgers and the oligarchs bankrolling Putin's war. Boris took a Russian ex-KGB man's hospitality at his Italian villa, dodged his own officials, then made the son a Lord. Where's your "lock them up" energy for that?
