Absolutely buzzing over this new video of a rarely seen giant squid

Here's Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) raging about Missouri's elections being "decided in California" in response to an article about Missourians protesting a gerrymandering petition in California -- except the article is about the town of California in Missouri.

Japan officials issues Hokkaido–Sanriku Megaquake Advisory, warning residents in 118 municipalities to stock up on food and water, prepare their homes, and stay ready to evacuate immediately over the next week.

NEW on CNN: In several old videos we found, Pete Hegseth blasted Trump in 2016 warning he could issue unlawful orders that troops should refuse, calling him an “armchair tough guy” with five draft deferments. Now he’s attacking Democrats for saying same. LINK: www.cnn.com/2025/12/08/p...

In the interest of clarity.. ACAB definitely includes Barn; does not include Ange.

Records reviewed by the AP show that few of those arrested have criminal histories beyond traffic violations.

Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera. This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw. But it's not very far off.

It's official. I won the Bluesky Peace Prize.

Flightradar24: "Today, Spain issued a NOTAM, urging Spanish aircraft operators to avoid Venezuelan airspace, due to "increased military activity, anti-aircraft weapons capable at all altitudes, and lack of coordination between the parties to the conflict."

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.

Just pure evil. No other word to use.

U.S. officials contacted by Reuters were surprised by Trump's announcement and unaware of any ongoing U.S. military operations to enforce a closure of Venezuelan airspace.

Nicolas Maduro and his associates have reached out to the White House through a number of channels, and there are ongoing discussions about what communication between the two countries might look like, multiple administration officials said. - CNN

The scene now at Lafayette and Howard, diagonal to the ICE garage which activists remain camped out in front of on both sides of the building.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

I mean he’s not even pretending anymore

The Dems baiting Trump into insisting his administration had never given an illegal order look quite clever now

I must say, I am beguiled by the idea that the next president, should he or she be sane, might instantly undo all of Trump’s executive orders and pardons.

Michael Bohacek, an Republican state senator in Indiana, says he is a “NO” on Trump’s redistricting push, pointing to the president’s use of a slur

Suuuuuuper interesting. And somewhat economically/financially terrifying. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

it’s vitally important for the future of this country that this wildly unpopular administration is tied directly to its enablers in congress and the courts and used to discredit the entire conservative movement
