🙏 Zelensky: This week, Russia has launched about 1,300 strike drones, almost 1,200 guided bombs, and 9 missiles of various types across Ukraine. The Odesa region and our south have been particularly affected. We are countering this Russian terror at various levels.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Oh there’s Mike Johnson. Let’s ask him about The Epstein Files.

The stench of Soviet-style censorship is overwhelming in this piece about the administration’s efforts to control the “tone” with which US history is presented in Smithsonian museums. Gift article.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

When he really starts to deteriorate physically - and feels it - mortality itself will become a global leftist conspiracy & he'll flail in all directions.

Maybe they’ll appease him with another televised “cabinet meeting”, since the American people haven’t bothered to say “thank you” with sufficient enthusiasm.

🇸🇪 Sweden’s Navy confirms Russia is conducting a military operation in the Baltic Sea to protect its “shadow fleet” of oil tankers used to evade sanctions. Russian naval ships now regularly patrol key sea lanes; some tankers reportedly carry armed, uniformed personnel.

“The two shining lights that guide his notion of morality are his self-interest and the enhancement of his self-image, both of which crowd out consideration of the national interest and the public welfare.” Plain and simple, this piece may serve as a reference. Well worth a read. Gift article.

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

This is Rose. She's paralyzed in both her back legs from being hit by a car as a stray. But when she sees her wheelchair harness come out, she knows it's time to walk and roll. 14/10 (IG: twopawrose)

Ukrainian forces are pushing forward around Kupyansk, retaking territory and entering the city. Russian units are isolated, dependent on drone resupply, unable to reinforce, and no longer hold a manpower edge. Even pro-Kremlin bloggers say the situation is worsening. - ISW (summarized)

Look, there’s a simple solution to private equity buying up and enshittifying the software that keeps us safe: a handful of municipal fire/rescue departments should team up, collaboratively build and share better software, and release it into the public domain. This is a common pattern!

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv. The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

Is it part of the warrior ethos to throw others under the bus to avoid taking responsibility?

Hello again - it's Tuesday's daily thread for Day 1378 of the full Russian invasion. It's the day Russia will again pretend it wants peace as a woefully underqualified and historically ignorant US "envoy" meets Putin again. No. of times Witkoff has been to: Moscow: 6 Kyiv: 0

This nation would be a better place if just one White House reporter had the courage to ask "what the hell are you rambling about, old man?"

Posting stupid memes after being accused of murder is the response of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Loser Mike Johnson is pissed that we’re gaining ground in forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. So let’s get even louder:

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of November!

Höre immer wieder, Trump‘s Ukraine- und Russlandpolitik sei chaotisch und widersprüchlich. Sehe ich nicht so. Es gibt eine klare Linie: Die Ukraine steht der Normalisierung mit Russland im Weg. Dieses Hindernis muss ausgeräumt werden, koste es, was es wolle.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

This is Scotchy. He is here to collect the belly rub toll. Would like to remind you that failing to pay results in a fine of even more belly rubs. 12/10 (TT: scotchythedoxie)

I failed to notice any price or responsibility that Russia would pay or take on according to this so called plan for destroying Ukrainian lives, infrastructure, and assets. No price to pay for its aggression. Despicable.

So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible. But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.

The Trump administration has declared that swastikas and nooses are no longer classified as hate symbols.

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.
