"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen. “I just kept repeating it — I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...” She screamed “Leave me alone...” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Imagine you had millions of people in your life who ignored everything you ever said but would show up once a year and make a huge deal about your birthday, claiming they were your biggest fans. Crazy, right? Anyway…Merry Christmas.

Turns out Elon is the one censoring the EU, not the other way around.

The killing of shipwrecked survivors at sea is a textbook violation of the laws of war. If Hegseth is so proud of the killing of these survivors, the Pentagon should release the full video, just like they have with other boat strikes. The American people deserve full transparency & accountability.

Yes, it's a no brainer! 👇 euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/03/b...

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 United States and Russia have officially formed an alliance against Europe, Ukraine, and Canada.

Meiselas: The official Trump U.S. National Security Strategy document has been released. The document says a top priority of the U.S. is "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." In other words, to destroy the European Union.

We should stop being afraid and get our shit together. Mordor is on the ropes now and rearming if we give them any slack. Give no room, no quarter. Release the frozen mordor funds to Ukraine now.

I will never stop translating these videos. My heart breaks over what these elderly people have gone through and are still going through because of Russia. Liudmyla’s story is just one of hundreds of thousands. That’s how many internally displaced people are now living in the Sumy region⤵️

Trump Humiliates Himself And America By Accepting A Made Up Peace Prize Donald Trump hit a new low on Friday when he accepted a peace prize that was made up by the soccer organization FIFA in a ceremony that was embarrassing for the nation www.politicususa.com/p/trump-humi...

Trump's entire "peace plan" is just a $400 billion mafia deal for Trump's family and friends to profit from making Ukraine surrender to Russia. Just follow the money!

Atrocity after atrocity. During WW2 the Allies long heard rumors about the industrialised murder of Jews, and knew for a fact first a few years into the war. Today, we know what ruzzia has done, what they are doing, and what they plan. Now, do you think we do enough to stop them?

10. The stakes are existential for countries like Ukraine. If the world shifts to a system where aggression is rewarded and sovereignty becomes negotiable, Ukraine will be the first — not the last — victim. Source: Foreign Affairs

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."

If attacking the Capitol is an attack on America, why did they defend the people who did it? The hypocrisy is wild. Spare us the selective outrage. www.instagram.com/reel/DR2pZj3...

🇫🇮 Finland’s President Alexander Stubb says he’s frustrated after seeing the original peace plan and warns that a "just peace" in Ukraine is unlikely. Even if a ceasefire happens, it may end up as a compromise, not full justice. Europe must be ready for that reality.

The Times: Weeks of peace talks, revised US proposals, and a Trump envoy’s Kremlin visit failed to sway Putin, he remains committed to conquering Ukraine. The only clear result: Putin no longer fears Trump. Talks widened the rift between Europe and Washington, delighting Moscow.

UK has imposed new sanctions on Russia’s GRU after the final report on the Skripal assassination attempt confirmed it was authorised by Putin. Eight cyber officers involved in operations linked to the attack are now sanctioned, along with three more GRU officers tied to hostile activity in Europe.

Terrorist leader Putin uses reflexive control to maintain the Belgian Prime Minister as a Russian asset: “Bart De Wever: ‘Moscow has made it clear to us that if his assets are seized, Belgium and I will feel the consequences for eternity…’”

“Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Mr. Musk himself.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Garcia: It’s been hard to watch Republicans essentially be dragged into supporting disclosure and supporting the survivors. This could end today if Donald Trump just released the files, and yet they’re refusing to do so.

Kamlager-Dove: We also know that DHS has a habit of taking people to hospitals under false names so they cannot be located. This prevents their family members and lawyers from getting to them. And so we want to know: is this what also happened to Vicente?

🤔 Trump: Putin would like to end the war, that is Witkoff and Kushner's impression after the meeting. I think he would like to get back to dealing a more normal life.

Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it? Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean. He served for 37 years.

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it. You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.
