The russia-backed Trump regime of the United States is suspending arms deliveries to Finland, Estonia and other front line countries to russian aggression.

Trump works for Putin.

I never thought I’d see a U.S. president and vice president actively back a European leader caught collaborating with the Kremlin at the expense of Europe’s security.

That will forever be the legacy of Trump and Vance in Europe. We will not forget.

URGENT PSA - New supply chain attack vector that I found WILD > AI LLMs hallucinate package names roughly 18-21% of the time.

Hackers have started pre-registering those hallucinated names on PyPI and npm with malicious payloads; they call it "slopsquatting"

You can only imagine what's next

Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WW3 committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel. It’s beyond grotesque”

🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages.

The latest [email protected] now pulls in [email protected], a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise.

This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now.

Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that:

• Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime
• Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis
• Executes decoded shell commands
• Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories
• Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence

If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.

Is the tenner an hour minimum wage for young people an unaffordable burden on business? With me in the studio to discuss this are a £91,000 a year Tory MP, a £200,000 a year rightwing journalist and a chief executive on £4.2m.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 Remember this: In 2000, Epstein’s house manager, Alfredo Rodriguez, compiled a list of victims and brought it to a lawyer.

The lawyer contacted the FBI.

The FBI ran a “sting.”

No traffickers arrested.
No victims interviewed.
No investigation.

Instead, Rodriguez was prosecuted for “stolen property.”

He went to prison. And died there.

The whistleblower paid the price. The predator walked free.

That’s the system.

Jim Ratcliff:
-Educated for free-no university fees then AND subsistence paid to set him up for work
-Built up an empire
-Campaigned for Brexit
-Got Brexit and moved to the area he campaigned against
-Lives tax free: no intention of repaying the taxpayers who gave him his start in business
-Part bought a football club, the most famous in the world
-Expects taxpayers to pay for rebuilding the stadium of the most famous football club

Can I see THAT on the FRONT PAGES tomorrow?

[Chris Gloninger, CCM, CBM @ChrisGloninger]

Atmospheric scientist here. Let me tell you what was actually "slashed" today.

Slashed: The Endangerment Finding — a 200-page scientific review upheld by the Supreme Court, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and reaffirmed by the National Academies of Sciences in 2025.

Slashed: The legal authority to regulate carbon from cars, power plants, and factories. All of it. Gone in one afternoon.

Now here's what you're "saving":

Yesterday Trump ordered the Pentagon — the largest energy consumer on Earth — to buy coal electricity.

Coal costs $69–$169/MWh.
Wind costs $27–$53/MWh.
Solar costs $38–$78/MWh.

99% of U.S. coal plants cost more to run than replacing them with brand-new solar or wind.

That's your tax dollars buying the most expensive electricity on the market. By executive order. While the Peabody Energy CEO stood in the room.

And the human cost of what you're "saving"?

460,000 American deaths linked to coal pollution in 20 years. Coal PM2.5 is 2.1x deadlier than other air pollution. (Henneman et al., Science, 2023)

All to protect an industry that employs 44,000 people total. Clean energy employs 3.5 million.

Jeff Bezos fired more than 300 people and didn’t even arrange for them to get safely home.

Staffers were abandoned in foreign countries and war zones and are having to crowd source to get home.

One of the richest men in the world left them behind.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.

Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.

And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

Here's how many times each president and nominee appeared in the Epstein Files in the last 25 years.

George W. Bush, Al Gore, John Kerry, Barack Obama, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris. TOTAL: 0

Donald Trump. TOTAL: 48,571 and counting.

It's that magical time of year when private jets descend on a Swiss mountain village to discuss climate change and poverty! Anyway, here's my annual reminder. I'll stop posting this when they stop avoiding the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance 💰

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

@TheKentAcorn Saw this in Cambridge (Victoria Avenue) yesterday and wondered why it autumning early.

Liz Truss is a former Prime Minister, a former leader of the Conservative Party, has been a member of the privy council for more than a decade and has 24 hour protection from the Metropolitan Police. Who precisely does she think "the elite" is if it's not her?

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Exaggerating crime to “save” a city is a classic fascist play.

Mussolini did it.
Hitler did it.
Pinochet did it.

Now Trump’s doing it in D.C. — and the people who actually live there aren’t buying it.
