‼️ This is Trump’s Watergate Moment.

For months the Vice President, White House Chief of Staff, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel and other top officials colluded in the Situation Room to break the law and BURY the Epstein investigation.

This is what went down ⬇️

"We are in extreme danger," says climate scientist Peter Kalmus (@ClimateHuman), who warns that this summer "could be the hottest summer we've ever experienced in our lives, but it could also be the coolest summer for the rest of our lives."

Kalmus says he was forced to resign his job at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, where he worked for 15 years but faced growing pressure and censorship over his activism.

A huge AI data centre is proposed on countryside by Auchtertool village in Fife - to guzzle an estimated 20% of Scotland’s energy consumption.

Please sign this petition calling for the Scottish government to stop this. Over 1,200 signatures already.

@TomTugendhat actually I think we will be more safe by not handing over police data to psychotic Nazi billionaires who are entirely open about their desire to destroy and dominate and enslave every single living human being that they can. ymmv ofc.

I predict he is going to be the first referee ever to get a standing ovation.

The UK is apparently at such risk from foreign threat tonight that the war that is really most threatening our well-being - Trump’s against Iran - has not been mentioned more than 20 minutes into tonight’s 6pm BBC News.

28 years of waiting for our Scottish friends come to an end on Sunday morning, as the World Cup gets underway tonight!

After the wonderful moments we all enjoyed in the city two years ago, here's hoping for more magic and an Archie Gemmill moment for this generation! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #effzeh

Six separate legal proceedings across Romania, the UK, and the US. 21 criminal charges filed by UK prosecutors in 2025 including rape and human trafficking. A civil trial brought by four women this month.

And before any of this reached a courtroom, he was building a media empire on the premise that women exist to be dominated.

That's the part worth examining. Who amplified it. Who called it culture.

[God @TheTweetOfGod]

You sexually groomed a 16-year-old girl from your own organization when you were 27 and threatened her parents with a lawsuit. Then you were found guilty of revealing corporate secrets and, just three months ago, your lawyer withdrew due to nonpayment. But boo, George Floyd! Boo!

🚨THIS IS CRIMINAL!!

A DOGE lead just testified under oath that he emailed classified government documents to his personal device and then sent them over Signal.

Under oath.

This is not a leak. This is not a whistleblower. This is a deposition.

Signal auto-deletes messages. Personal devices have no government security protocols. This is textbook mishandling of federal records — the same thing they spent four years prosecuting Hillary Clinton over.
The same DOGE that accessed Social Security databases.

The same DOGE that accessed Treasury payment systems.

The same DOGE that accessed Pentagon personnel files.

Emailing government documents to a personal device and routing them through an encrypted auto-deleting app is not a mistake.

That is a method.

The question is who was on the other end of those Signal messages.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

AI deepfake videos make candidates appear to say things they never said. We’ve seen that in Kentucky, Texas and now in Vermont.

These outrageous lies are a direct threat to democracy.

Congress needs to act NOW.

Yet another planning application for a huge energy and water consuming AI data centre - near Falkirk. No one voted for this.

Hi @ScotExpress

I’m sadly going to miss the Awards because I’m currently in the Western Isles doing my job.

Hope everyone has a great night!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

While Pentagon spending hit $1 trillion last year, defense contractor CEOs got a raise: 

General Dynamics CEO: $25.9M 
Northrop Grumman CEO: $25.3M 
RTX (Raytheon) CEO: $24.8M 
Boeing CEO: $23.5M 
Lockheed Martin CEO: $23.4M 

This is the military-industrial complex.

The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice

And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr dredging up the same nonsense

Such a tiresome waste of time
