@markhertling.bsky.social on the White House's new National Security Strategy: "Russia said this is a great document that does everything we need to do. That should sum it up in a nutshell when you have a competitor, a foe, saying you've great strategic approach."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday his country will not make territorial concessions to Russia as the Trump administration looks to broker a peace deal between the two countries. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Rachel Scott is the only reporter ever to call out Vladimir Putin to his face.

Alina Habba is out as fake US Attorney.

♥️ “ICE looked at that school, saw a community standing up for families, and decided it wasn’t worth it.”

Ignore the bullshit propaganda coming out of the White House and the Kremlin (which are arguably the same institution these days). The REALITY is, 62% of American voters believe the USA should give more support to Ukraine and want to see a Ukrainian victory. www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/...

FOX: Interim U.S. Attorney for the state of New Jersey, Alina Habba has resigned. Attorney General Pam Bondi says she accepted the resignation after a court's decision disqualifying Habba from serving.

"Local businesses were ready to push back. Posted on store- and restaurant-front windows were signs: 'Private area', '4th Amendment Workplace' and 'There’s always room at our table, but to enter past this point, we’ll need to see a warrant signed by a judge'...” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Reporter: Could you imagine receiving a Kennedy Center Honor next year? Trump: That’s an interesting one. I hadn’t through of that. Yeah, I think I’m going to nominate myself for next year.

This will be remembered as the most pathetic moment in American history. What a needy fool.

They’re desperately trying to separate the pipe bomber from MAGA, Trump, and 1/6. It’s why there’s a 22-day gap in the arrest affidavit. I’ll be covering this on the @meidastouch.com channel tomorrow at noon PT.

Drag him.

A remarkable threat from the Deputy AG: DOJ’s No. 2 official suggested Thursday that lawyers might have a harder time winning lenient treatment for corporate clients if they’ve publicly accused the Trump administration of being lax on white-collar crime www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

WTF is going on in our country????????????????

Singer Pink calls MAGA an “insult to humanity” and says, “If you’re a Trump supporter, then don’t listen to my music.” 🤘🏽

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos partying with Ghislaine Maxwell at his exclusive Campfire Retreat (2018)

How are we supposed to trust the FBI & DOJ after years of watching Donald Trump denigrate & politicize them? That question was brought into sharp focus by the arrest earlier this week of Brian Cole, Jr., on bomb planting charges. joycevance.substack.com/p/charges-in...

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

REMINDER... Putin is not our friend. Russia does not want democracy to survive, much less thrive.

“Don’t replace the culture war with class war” is such a fun way of saying, “Please don’t unionize, I just bought a yacht that parks inside another yacht.”

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw? TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence? COTTON: No, I didn't

Rule #1: Trump lies!

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

When I have food that starts looking like this, I throw it out. I suggest the United States does the same.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Russia sends stolen Ukrainian children to North Korea to become militarized.

Putin in 2014: “Don’t believe those who claim that other regions will follow after Crimea. We don’t want Ukraine to be divided; we don’t need that.”

Republicans have never passed legislation helping working class citizens.

AOC: This is how our healthcare system got deregulated. People talking about Americans should have the personal choice of getting totally fleeced by insurance companies.

BREAKING: WELL, WELL, WELL! Newly unearthed footage shows Pete Hegseth saying EXACTLY what the six Democrats said in their video that prompted Trump and Hegseth to hysterically smear them as traitors! You must refuse illegal orders.

Benjamin Netanyahu's request to be placed above the law rests on the extraordinary assumption that he has no possible replacement, Gershom Gorenberg argues:
