Screenshot of The Guardian ‘The cover-up is brazen’: one journalist’s tenacious, traumatic fight to expose Ghislaine Maxwell Lucia Osborne-Crowley has endured threats and sexual harassment to report on Jeffrey Epstein’s chief enabler. Maxwell’s conviction was only the start of the quest for justice, she says
🚨 'This is her frustration: the coverage centres Epstein, Maxwell & Windsor & tries to unpack their psychology & connections, finding it easier to talk about political corruption than sexual abuse. The human collateral gets lost, as does the survivors’ agency.'

The criticism from Jesse Jackson Jr. toward former presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden reveals a tension that has long existed between activists and the political establishment.
Trump, who just last night was saying he would escalate the war in Iran, had a phone call with Putin and now says he's going to end the war soon.
Looks like Trump being Putin's puppet is paying a positive dividend in this case. So yay, I guess? www.reuters.com/world/kremli...
This presser is fucking insane.
Trump threatened to target Iranian electricity production and “hit them so hard that nobody can ever rebuild in that location”
That’s not a thing. Even if we nuked them.
He also said we’re bombing Iran to help China. Batshit crazy.
Q: "You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school…but you're the only person in your government saying this…Why are you the only person saying this?"
Trump: "Because I just don't know enough about it."
Polish PM Office at UNHQ: “Poland’s support for Ukraine has been more than financial assistance - it’s been recognition of values.”
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
The UN nuclear watchdog's governing body passed a resolution on Thursday -- overcoming US opposition -- expressing concern over "repeated and intensified attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure" posing a "threat to nuclear safety", according to diplomatic sources.
US Opposed
A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.
It is reported that Iran selected Mojtaba Khamenei in part because Trump said in an interview that he was "unacceptable" to Trump.
So Trump has ensured the person running Iran is *more* theocratic and hates the US for killing his wife and father. Well done, Donald!

U.S. Army C-RAM systems active as Iraqi drones attempt to target U.S. Victory Base near Baghdad International Airport.
It's growing more chaotic, suicide drones, missiles, and fighter jets flying over Baghdad, while Iranian-backed groups continue escalating tensions with U.S. forces in the country.
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
Well when you put it that way…
I just want to make sure that everyone knows Trump's war of choice in Iran is costing us $900 million a day according to the latest figures
Not $900 a day, not $9,000 a day, not $90,000 a day, not $900,000 a day, not $9 million a day, not $90 million a day
$900 million a day
Graham: You see this hat? Free Cuba. Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us. We’re marching through the world. Iran is going down and Cuba is next.
"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records."
We bombed the hell out of the Vietnamese for many years. They never surrendered. What happens next when you bomb people and they still won’t surrender?
NO NO NO YOU DON’T

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
The only country in the West that has higher billionaire welfare than the UK is the USA.
The top 200 companies and the richest 1000 people in the UK receive more than half the welfare that is shared among the other 69,300,000 in the UK.
That's the welfare you should worry about
It’s been downhill ever since
Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."
Documents reveal a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate:
ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees who declined to identify former clients.
On April 12, Hungarians have a historic opportunity to ”denazify” their country and vote out Orbán’s corrupt fascist regime
