Hunter Biden’s lawyer said Thursday that prosecutors caved to House Republicans’ political pressure when they secured an indictment of the first son.

Just hours after a grand jury indicted Hunter Biden on charges related to gun possession, his top defense attorney, Abbe Lowell, sent a tranche of documents to three congressional committees.

The WHO’s message

for an additional dose
of COVID-19 vaccine,
don’t wait,
get it now,
especially if you’re in
an at risk group”

the emergency isn’t really over.

Wow!😳 Texas teacher fired after assigning an illustrated Anne Frank book

Hopefully our outrage (& sharing) will help shame the school. (& hopefully the specter of a hefty law suit will help them "see reason".

Liz Truss claiming from fund for ex-PMs despite serving just 49 days

Liz Truss has been claiming from the £115,000-a-year public fund awarded to former prime ministers despite only serving for 49 days.

Self serving and deluded. Typical Tory.
