If any one person saved our republic during the 21st century it was Eugene Goodman and I am sure that he hasn’t been thanked enough.

It was a bloody, unconstitutional, illegal armed rebellion and insurrection that killed or maimed many and was orchestrated by Donald Trump and his top allies in and out of Congress—and history will for centuries express astonishment that Trump wasn't imprisoned for life over it.

What a disgrace.

5 years after the January 6th insurrection, we reflect on what was at stake then and what’s at stake now.   Thank you to the brave Capitol police officers who saved lives that day. We must continue to be caretakers to our nation and our democracy.

NEW: Sen. Mark Kelly RESPONDS to Pete Hegseth for censuring him, cutting his military pension, threatening to demote his rank, and warning of possible criminal prosecution for telling soldiers to obey their oath.

BRONCOS WIN!!!!

THE NUMBER 1 SEED IS OURS‼️‼️‼️ And we’re still climbing.

He pardoned the President of Honduras on the exact same charges and after being convicted . Nothing about this is moral, legal or right. It will now embolden China on Taiwan and Russia on Ukraine.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Never gets old.

Youth sports can have a positive effect on children. But recent research shows how pressure from overbearing coaches and parents is stunting children’s emotional well-being and leading to injuries.

“You guys, Hitler wants to see Poland succeed”

Pelosi: "January 6 was really sad in itself. But the sorrow of it also springs from the fact that this president is trying to rewrite history."

Fascism.

There’s no pitch for genAI in the classroom that doesn’t boil down to “it’s everywhere,” or that takes education as more than job training, or, consequently, that actually argues for genAI as a tool that has a distinct function in education. It’s not educators who have their heads in the sand here.

Found my ‘86 game six tickets!

FINAL: The Broncos improve to 13-3

Wishing a Happy Kwanzaa to all who celebrate in New Jersey and across the African diaspora. May your holiday be filled with joy, unity, and pride.

I began this story focused on the weird lies about Hurricane Helene but became very disturbed at how prevalent this pseudo-environmentalism is. The movement blocks real policy to curb climate catastrophes.

During his first term Donald Trump lied well over 30,000 times If he is now the official spokesperson of the DOJ, every law, every rule, every potential interpretation of the Constitution will be twisted, perverted and dishonest The attack on the rule of law has now reached a nuclear level

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate in New Jersey and beyond. Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and safe holiday!

Pope Leo XIV on Thursday used his first Christmas message as pontiff to call for “peace and consolation for the victims of all current wars in the world” as well as for those suffering from “injustice, political instability, religious persecution and terrorism.”

In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity. Do listen. I wrote about the history here: snyder.substack.com/p/o-generous...

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it

The President of the United States deleted this photo of the drawer full of photos with himself and Jeffrey Epstein from the DOJ's illegally redacted release of the files last night. We are watching a cover up in real time. This is file 468.

This would be an excellent time for politicians to stop demonizing universities.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

Coming soon…

Exactly the sort of tyrannical behavior that the Constitution was written to prevent. See the Fourth Amendment in particular.

We're in. And we're still climbing.

Happy Hanukkah

The US and multiple countries have what’s called A DEMOCRACY. America came into existence to escape a king. Why would we want another and one as completely ignorant to the people’s needs as this incompetent idiot? He’s in it for the grift and destruction. To hand us over to his rich oligarchs.

South Carolina has called for quarantines due to the unchecked spread of Measles, this has happened because too many have drunk the Kennedy cool-aid. The regime is actively endangering our children.

Covid vaccines released last fall sharply decreased the risk of ER and urgent care visits in children, according to new data released by the CDC — providing a striking counterpoint to Trump administration rhetoric about the shots Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/11/h...

Scores of government statisticians are gone, leaving data at risk, report says apnews.com/article/cens...

Worth repeating: The Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.
