Pope Leo XIV just went viral belting out “L.O.V.E” with Michael Bublé at the Vatican’s Concert with the Poor, a Christmas event where the front rows are filled with homeless and low-income guests. Michael Bublé called it “the greatest night” of his career. The full story is below.

My law firm is currently litigating 65 voting and election cases in 30 states. We have plans for another dozen or so. The 2026 midterm elections are shaping up to be a fight to protect free and fair election. I started Democracy Docket to keep you informed. Sign up now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

ICE’s accelerated recruitment push is raising serious concerns about who it’s attracting and why. @wendyvia.bsky.social warns it’s “normalizing extremism, but also warping what it means to be a person who protects your country,” with a message to "make America different… a violent but white place.”

When a US Admiral feels the need to ask an attorney what the definition of "shipwreck" is, he's a liability – a danger to his fellow sailors and the country which he claims to defend.

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

Don’t forget that ‘The View’ and BillMaher, among others gave this woman a welcoming platform to promote her book and attempt to cleanse her reputation. I hope NO ONE is watching those shows

Robert cut off her credit cards, so she kept borrowing money from friends and was humiliated. He spent all the $ on Cheryl, who was taking the kids to their hangouts and putting them on FB to humiliate her. If she didn't think she did anything wrong, she wouldn't have deleted them after Mary died

Hopefully her book flops like his girlfriend's.

Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"

The American people deserve to feel protected by their president. Not attacked by him.

WTF! 🤬🤬🤬 PROJECT 2025 IS NEAR COMPLETION!! MORBIDLY RICH WHITE MEN HAVE FOOLED THE IGNORANTS ... THEIR TAKE OVER ALMOST COMPLETE BACK TO SQUARE ONE ... BACK 249 YEARS ... BACK TO A KING & HIS PEASANTS ... MIDDLE CLASS BE GONE BLACKS BE GONE BROWNS BE GONE JEWS BE GONE WOMYN BACK IN THE KITCHEN

La Resistencia volunteers who observed the deportation flight informed us that 83 people boarded the plane to be transferred and/or deported. Someone using a guide/probing cane was seen being guided onboard the plane. #AbolishICE #AbolishGEOGROUP #ChingaLaMigra #ShutdownNWDC #FreeThemALL

Whoa … this is really strange. Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone. 🎁 link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

The Kremlin is praising the new US security strategy. Any questions?

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯

When we have this massive White House protest,, we must also call it a Citizen's Court of Justice and some prominent person or persons should stand with microphone and name all the TrumpGOP Fascists that have committed treason or have betrayed America. If it takes all day. @democrats.senate.gov

Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

Quietly, largely unreported, Trumplethinskin is pardoning like the madman he is.

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.

👏

ICE thought Minneapolis would fold. Instead, a police chief lit a flare bright enough to burn D.C.’s eyebrows.🔥👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Drag him.

Funny how 7-10 million of us managed to gather all over the country without a single violent incident that was not instigated by MAGA. But the minute a few hundred of us gather to protest ICE we turn into violent rioters who need to be pepper sprayed? Smells like, complete and utter bullshit.

Can you get more authoritarian than permitting your government to kill whoever they want without legal process or accountability? We are there. Maga thinks they are free until the day ice comes for their guns. But we are not free .

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

"If you do a Google search for 'ICE raid this is what I voted for' you will get a quick sense of how MAGA supporters are celebrating the cruelty of Trump’s deportation regime." Good @sykescharlie.bsky.social roundup on MAGA sadism here (includes our pod): charliesykes.substack.com/p/the-derang...

Whatever you may think about the Tish James case, the defense's legal claims of vindictive prosecution and the evidence of a corrupt use of DOJ power just got ... stronger (trying a second indictment) and stronger (grand jury denial) and stronger (DOJ determined to try again)

Presidential Walk of Fatigue

Scathing dissent from Justice Kagan: "[T]his Court reverses that judgment based on its perusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record. We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision."

The cruelty is the point

Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

First of all her name is Kaitlan Collins and she’s far from stupid & nasty. Next, this nastiness from this cockroach of a president needs to be checked by somebody! Since when is asking a totally relevant question a problem? This isn’t his White House.

If only American journalists had the same amount of integrity, or ANY integrity.

The orange felon insults yet another female reporter by calling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins “stupid and nasty” after she inquired about the price of his trashy dictator ballroom after it increased by another $100M. This is what happens when you normalize a criminal for a decade.

More of this !!

Reminds me of Jimmy and Tammy Fay. 🤔
