βElon Muskβs Tesla given go-ahead to supply electricity in Great Britain.β A subheading underneath says: βOfgem licence means firm can replicate Texas setup of powering homes, businesses and EVs.β
Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.
Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry.

Can someone explain how US B1 heavy bombers are used for "defensive" actions ?
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

"WEβRE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THAT... The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're going to live."
So ICE is now kidnapping children, and they're still not fascists or Nazis? It happened before. It was sanctioned by the state.

This just beggars belief - Travelodge are absolving themselves of responsibility when they enabled a sexual assault by happily giving a man a keycard and room number of a woman staying at their hotel.

Does the felon ever tell the truth?
But federal personnel purported to order BCA personnel to leave. According to reports, federal personnel may have seized cell phones, taken other evidence from the scene, and detained witnesses. It is unclear whether federal personnel otherwise processed the scene let alone how carefully. Then just a few hours after the shooting, federal personnel left, allowing the perimeter to collapse and potentially spoiling evidence. From a law enforcement perspective, this is astonishing. The federal government's actions are a sharp departure from normal best practices and procedure, in which every effort is taken to preserve the scene and the evidence it contains. Instead, by first attempting to bar BCA and then letting the scene collapse, the federal government appears to have taken measures that directly led to the destruction of evidence.

The victims, survivors and their families have waited far too long for the truth to come out and justice to be done.
ICE agents are paid a bonus for anyone they seize and that includes tourists- read this account from a retired tourist held for 6wks despite a valid visa and seriously think do you need to go to the States? World Cup and Olympics are huge issues imo
Can cows swim? Is this a question you never knew you wanted to know the answer to?
Text meme: "It seems the purpose of the latest Epstein file release was to expose victims while protecting pedophiles."
Trump's corrupt DOJ released Epstein files with perpetrator names redacted but victim names & images unprotected. WTAF?
Not an accident---an intentional effort to shame and expose victims while protecting elite pedophiles, or Trump's "friends."
So many Trump associates in the Epstein files.
