TOP STORY
Former Prince Andrew ARRESTED After Epstein Revelations
Prince Andrew was arrested at his residence on Thursday—on his 66th birthday, no less—following weeks of damning revelations about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Thames Valley Police confirmed they arrested a 66-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Officers were photographed arriving at Andrew’s home, and police said they were searching two addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk.
The police, following national guidance, refused to officially name the arrested man. But they sent their statement in direct response to NBC News’ question about Andrew’s arrest, so the polite fiction isn’t fooling anyone.
➡️ Question of the Day
Should Trump be arrested for his dealings with Epstein?
90% Chance of WAR: Trump Preparing Iran Attack
Trump has assembled a massive U.S. military force—50+ fighter jets, two carrier strike groups, and 30,000-40,000 troops—capable of striking Iran within days, even as fragile diplomatic talks continue. The military buildup comes just eight months after Trump claimed Iran’s nuclear program was “obliterated,” raising the question: whose interests does this war serve? Read the full story→
Trump in PANIC MODE as 2026 Polls Collapse
Trump is spiraling over cratering midterm numbers—his approval sits at 38%, Democrats lead the House ballot by 6 points, and he’s even underwater on immigration, traditionally a GOP stronghold. In response, he’s pinning voter fraud rants to the top of Truth Social and telegraphing the 2026 playbook: if Republicans can’t win votes, they’ll just make it harder to cast them.

Workers DEFY Trump—Union Membership Hits 16-Year High
A record number of American workers joined unions in 2025—despite Trump’s openly hostile federal government doing everything possible to crush them. The 499,000 new union members brought total membership to 14.9 million, the highest since 2009, proving that workers organizing for better wages and conditions won’t be intimidated by anti-labor executive orders and a stacked NLRB.

🗳️ Yesterday’s poll results
Yesterday, we asked: Should high-speed police chases be banned everywhere? 90% of you said YES:
rmaier3024 said, “They rarely end well.”
p15061023a said, “With the technology we have today and even some police departments having those tags that they fire out of the front of their police car. There should be no reason for this. The sad part is that the responsible people here will never take responsibility”
twoasps said, “There are plenty of cameras to snap pictures of driver and license tags everywhere. There is no reason to endanger anyone's life.”
susanhend61 said, “Streets and roads are too dangerous already with congestion and distracted drivers. Adding to the mix high speed chases to the mix is a recipe for a disaster.”
a15anaya said, “Drones now have the ability to fly many miles away from its operator and at speeds that exceed the fastest production vehicles. They can run but being able to hide is much more difficult. If departments can outfit each cruiser with a $2000 AR15, they can afford a $500 drone per unit.”
crys62 said, “There's too much chance for innocent people getting injured or worse. With current technology, the person(s) being chased can be apprehended using other methods.”
michaelhogshooter said, “I would like to see the data used to determine that it's safer in the long term to implement a no chase policy. One would assume that NOT apprehending a person of interest might endanger the public to a potentially greater degree. ”
helenaklm said, “A high speed chase in my community resulted in the suspect crashing into a residence and killing the sleeping owner in her bed. She was supposed to be protected by law enforcement actions, not killed.”

Manufacturing Consent for War: How the Military-Industrial Complex Is Pushing America Toward Iran
Here we go again.
Two aircraft carrier groups steaming toward the Middle East. Dozens of refueling tankers and 50+ fighter jets positioning in the region.
Anonymous military sources breathlessly telling reporters that strikes could happen “as soon as this weekend.”
And a White House press secretary who won’t answer direct questions about deadlines, but assures us “diplomacy” is totally Trump’s “first option”—right after he’s already bombed Iran once and “totally obliterated” its nuclear facilities last June.
If this playbook looks familiar, that’s because it is.
