The same Sergey Nalobin who was a great friend of Matthew Elliott, Vote Leave's founder and CEO. Brexit was very much part of Putin's long-running efforts to harm Britain and reduce its international stature.
A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.
B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

House Oversight and Judiciary investigators just visited Federal Prison Camp Bryan — the prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is housed.
Reps. Garcia and Raskin: "Bureau of Prisons leadership repeatedly shut down our lines of questioning or could not provide basic information about our central concerns, including Ms. Maxwell's extraordinary treatment, allegations of sexual assault at the facility, and retaliation against inmates who tried to blow the whistle."

Trump believes he has the power to weaponize the U.S. Postal Service to restrict voting. Marc Elias and his law firm are already challenging that notion in court.
“[The Trump administration has] come up with a scheme that is so unbelievably unconstitutional and authoritarian.”

“This is why I knew the version of events we witnessed in Butler, PA, were a stunt - and not the natural reactions of the man whose family I worked closely with in reality TV.
Even Tucker Carlson revealed recently that Dan Bongino told him Trump personally shut down the FBI investigation into his ‘assassination attempt’ when he came back into office.
Which makes total sense seeing how effective the ‘Fight, Fight, Fight’ branding operation had become for him - and how there is no way the events of that day would hold up to further scrutiny. Including the actions of the Secret Service, who seemingly went against all previous training and protocol to allow POTUS the opportunity for a photo op during an attempt on his life.
To put it simply, it doesn’t pass the smell test - and, as I have said many times before, Donald Trump should never be given the benefit of the doubt. Most especially when it comes to choreographed optics that serve the fraudulent image he has spent a lifetime crafting.” open.substack.com/pub/noelca…

BREAKING: "They were incredibly close friends!" Republican Ana Navarro obliterates J.D. Vance for lying about Trump and Epstein during a disastrous appearance on The View.
He should never have stepped into the lionesses' den...
"I disagree with is the idea that the White House wasn't committed to full transparency. We have to remember, like, I was inside the room when some of these decisions were made," Vance said on the show.
It's worth noting that we only know that Vance spearheaded Trump's PR crisis response team through the Epstein scandal because The New York Times revealed that he and other top officials met inside the Situation Room to discuss the problem. Vance is now pretending like he was the one who told us that. The truth is that he never wanted that information disseminated and now he's trying to own it.
"The Epstein Files Transparency Act, the one that the President signed, the one that led to all these files that we're seeing, the emails..." Vance continued. "By the way, again, sorry Joy, I do have to defend my boss. I know you guys don't always appreciate this, but, you know, one of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump, and that Donald Trump literally reported Jeffrey Epstein to the police. That's one of the things that came out of these files."
"They were best friends for about a decade!" said Navarro. "And remember, he signed that Transparency Act under duress when some Republican women, Congresswomen like Lauren Boebert, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, did not give in to his pressure of not signing."
"He brought Lauren Boebert into the Situation Room to pressure her into caving on not voting for that bill!" she added.
"That's all true," chimed in Sunny Hostin.
And it is all true. Trump never wanted to release the Epstein files but pressure built within his party because of the public outcry until he was ultimately forced to sign it. He knew that vetoing the bill would have been tantamount to an outright confession of pedophilia.
Furthermore, Vance's assertion that the emails prove that Epstein hated Trump is a gross mischaracterization of what the files show. Yes, it appears that the two men eventually had a falling out. But the primary takeaway is that they were very close friends who appear to have sexually preyed on little girls together for years and years. Just because their vile relationship disintegrated in the end does not wash away Trump's culpability.
"Let me respond to that. So, number one is, yes, Donald Trump, he said this," said Vance. "He knew Jeffrey Epstein back in the 1980s. He also threw Jeffrey Epstein out of his club when he found out it was a creep, and reported him to the police. That's something that the media often misses when it reports this story. They tell the fact that they knew each other in the 80s, which the President himself admits. They ignore the fact that he narced on him to the police and led ultimately to Jeffrey Epstein's downfall."
The reason that the media "misses" that story is because it's not true. According to Trump himself, he barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago due to a disagreement over Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's victims. It's not that Trump was repulsed by his pedophile pal's behavior, it's that he was territorial.
"I don't know that it led to his downfall," interjected Hostin.
"Well, it's one of the things that led to law enforcement investigation, but on the point that you made—" Vance tried to continue.
"And it was allegedly over a real estate deal that they got into a fight over," said Navarro, referencing another credible explanation that has been proposed.
"But the email says, the email says actually—" tried Vance.
"And they didn't just know each other," said Navarro, giving Vance a withering look. "Let's just be truthful and transparent here. They didn't just know each other."
"He's in a lot of pictures," said Joy Behar.
"They were incredibly close friends," said Navarro.
"He reported him to the police. That's what I'm saying. That is objective— That is objectively true. But Ana made— But Ana— Ana—" stuttered Vance. "Ana made another point that I think— I— I— Would be, if I may, because Anna made a very important point."
"This question about did Donald Trump release these files only under duress from Republicans," said Vance. "And Ana, you know the Republican Party probably better than I do. The idea that Donald Trump runs around afraid of Republican congressmen as opposed to the other way around is kind of crazy."
"It was bipartisan though. It was Republicans and Democrats," said Hostin.
"This— Well— Well— But— But— But because the Republicans control the House and the Senate, particularly the Senate, you need the Republican sign-off. What the President did is... Look, I will— I will say this," said Vance. "Again, I was in there in the meetings. He was very frustrated that the Democrats were making this about him when he's like, look, I threw the guy out of my club. I am the guy who reported him to the police or one of the people who reported to the police."
"The President was frustrated about that. Absolutely. But he eventually came to say, you know what? Let's just get everything out there," claimed Vance. "Let's have this out in the public. And he actually called the senators. I was there. He called the senators and said, you know what? Pass this bill. I'll sign it. And that was it."
In reality, Trump did everything in his power to block the passage of the bill. He signed it in the end because he calculated that a veto would do more damage to him than releasing an improperly redacted, piecemeal version of the files.
Vance's eagerness to defend his sex predator boss is morally repugnant and utterly disqualifying. This man is so desperate to become President one day that he's willing to stand arm-in-arm with a man who has been accused of sexually abusing children. There is no washing away a stench like this.
Please ❤️ and share if you will NEVER vote for J.D. Vance!

Financial abuse is a form of domestic abuse.
A parent that refuses to attend court leaves the other parent stuck in this loop of abuse, with no means of escaping.
I raised this with the Solicitor General, asking why parents who fail to show up to court evade prosecution.

Strike after strike by Ukraine's long distance drones on Russia's strategic energy reserves facility in Yaroslavl, with no air defenses of consequence.
As all Russian air defenses are now in Moscow or protecting Putin's palaces, Ukraine destroys Russia's entire energy industry.
Among Ukraine's overnight attacks on Russia's military and energy assets was the vast strategic energy storage complex in Rybinsk, in Russia's Yaroslavl Region.
Part of Russia's strategic fuel reserve system, Operated by Rosrezerv, the facility stores and redistributes gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, helping supply military and industrial consumers across western Russia.
Located roughly 270 km north of Moscow on key rail and river transport routes, it serves as a major logistics hub. While its exact capacity is classified, its role in storing and moving fuel makes it a significant wartime asset.
