I was removed from the Republican Midterm Convention with three Epstein survivors after interviewing a congressional candidate about the files. We were escorted out, and our credentials were revoked. The full exchange and the moment we were walked out are on my Substack now, uncut (link in bio). More on YouTube today.

daa welcomes today’s High Court judgement upholding An Bord Pleanála’s decision to grant permission for the construction of a vehicle underpass at Dublin Airport. The underpass is needed for growth and the safe and efficient running of the airport as it expands in the coming decades. The underpass will be in the middle of the airfield, underneath the crosswind runway at Dublin Airport, and connect the Eastern Campus with the West Apron. This will improve access and safety on the airfield, allowing for the segregation of aircraft and vehicles, and the movement of vehicles to the West Apron, which has been restricted since the opening of the North Runway in August 2022. ✈️
