Trump Fell for Putin’s Biggest Lie And the World Is Paying for It youtu.be/qP6YuEFpobo

When Putin arrived in the USA in January, Trump rolled out a literal red carpet and then personally met him at the foot of the airplane steps. When Zelinskyy arrived today, not only did Trump not greet him at the airport, NO US OFFICIAL MET HIM. And yet Trump wants us to believe he is impartial.

Republicans have used the allegations to target the state’s large Somali population.

NEW EPISODE: David Pakman joined me to break down the most dangerous and overlooked trends of Donald Trump’s second term, from public desensitization and media failure to economic backlash, immigration cruelty, and rising threats to democratic norms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZEx...

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

“On Tuesday, however, Ms. Loomer said nothing about the newly released materials, which showed, among other things, that federal prosecutors had determined that Mr. Trump had flown on Mr. Epstein’s private plane more times than they originally knew.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel. "Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

This Xmas, 2 police officers would like someone to finally hang the legally-mandated Jan 6th police honorary plaque at Capitol GOP Congressional leadership has defied March 2023 deadline to do so So officers Dan Hodges & Harry Dunn filed this yesterday storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

CBS News has capitulated but Democracy Docket never will. I created it without any corporate backers or private equity investors. It's only accountable to its members who help support its 22-person team. Become one now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

A day after federal agents arrested Epstein in 2019, they were also apparently trying to contact 10 people they called potential 'co-conspirators,' according to a newly released email exchange. All the names were redacted except three: Ghislaine Maxwell, Jean-Luc Brunel, and Leslie Wexner.

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

The federal government should support the development of fusion energy, but the President of the United States should not personally benefit from it.

NEW: Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Officer Danny Hodges have filed their response to the government's arguments against hanging the January 6th plaque in the Capitol pursuant to federal law. I'll post a link to the full filing once it's on the docket.

BREAKING SCOTUS NEWS: In a 6-3 decision, Convicted Felon Donald Trump LOSES his bid to be able to deploy the National Guard in Chicago. I walk through the order, incl. detailed analysis on why the majority ruled as it did and why the dissenting justices are HYPOCRITES. youtu.be/3BZV17pHJCw?...

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

The Trump DOJ is running scared and so they're putting out this kind of dreck on social media:

Among the newly-released Epstein files. This Justice Dept email from Jan 2020 'I wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported"

Russia violates: UN Charter Nuclear NPT Helsinki Accords Belovezha Accords Paris Charter Budapest Memo Black Sea Fleet Treaty Ukr-Ru Friendship Treaty Treaty on Azov Sea & Kerch Strait Karkiv pact Etc But Russia we will sign a legal document that we won't attack EU...

Want to better understand the jury verdict in Judge Hannah Dugan’s criminal trial? And how can Congress hold Pamela Jo Bondi in inherent contempt over the Epstein Files? @joycevance.bsky.social and I do a deep dive, incl. how we help build a new and better democracy. youtu.be/drCWwlU-pRg?...

NEW: Statement from some Epstein survivors: "It is alarming that the United States Department of Justice, the very agency tasked with upholding the law, has violated the law, both by withholding massive quantities of documents, and by failing to redact survivor identities.."

‘Splains a lot…

Here it is

'Extremely difficult' situation as Russian forces attempt to cross Siverskyi Donets River; Russia planning mass attacks over Christmas, Zelensky says; Ukraine confirms 2 ships and oil pipeline damaged in drone strike on Russia's Krasnodar Krai; and more.

You’ll recall I told you that if Bondi violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act, it would trigger a lawsuit. That’s what Schumer’s resolution does. It directs the Senate Majority Leader to file federal civil action against the government over failure to release the Epstein files. 1/

Deaths of detainees in ICE custody have surged under Trump, reaching a level the U.S. hasn’t seen since 2004.

We’d like to share a remembrance for Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest serving National Park Service ranger in the country, who has passed away. Her life and work helped preserve history, expand whose stories are told, and inspire generations to come.

Detroit Lions only rushed 12 times for 15 yards. What were they thinking?

After two decades on the books, a little-used federal law is being activated in ways that could turn immigration screening into the backbone of a far-reaching DNA surveillance system. It wouldn’t stop at the border. Story: bit.ly/44Eod6j
