Andrew Tate has been accused of rape and human trafficking in the UK. An attempt by the Trump administration to stand in the way of Britain's justice system would be deeply wrong. The Tate brothers must face justice here in the UK.

GSK to increase CEO pay packet from £10.6m to £21.6m a year. Corporate wealth is generated by workers. Will their pay increase by the same rate? No chance. Govt tells workers wage rises are inflationary. But hikes in exec pay, dividends, share buybacks are OK It is class war. archive.ph/3Q5ht

Trump claims the “trillion-dollar deal” he’s close to signing with Ukrainian President Zelensky would offer the US easy access to a bonanza of rare earth minerals. That’s at odds with the assessment of US officials who say there’s little actual evidence of vast rare earth mineral wealth in Ukraine.

Remember when the WH insisted that global HIV prevention & treatment was exempt from the freeze? When it seemed MAYBE they understood that cutting off medicine could put the entire planet at risk of drug resistant HIV strains? Wrong. Elon Musk’s interns were simply shutting payments off manually.

Trump & Musk are lying—PEPFAR funding has not been restored. Millions of lives hang in the balance, including people cut off mid-HIV treatment. Fired workers & activists staged a “die-in” to protest this deadly betrayal. “What we are demanding of Congress is that they stop behaving like doormats…”

Elon Musk at his first Cabinet meeting: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect - so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention." He pauses for a laugh, but he gets crickets and Trump won't look at him.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

Before asserting that something like this is happening because he says he can do it, journalists should ask what the statutory authority is, and if it is unclear or nonexistent, the headline and story should reflect that.
