This is depressing: a bunch of NYC restaurants are set to close over the next six months. Great economy! The one I'm in now is closing in January after 48 years. It employs 50-60 people.

Believing Santa is solely responsible for all the Christmas magic is similar to believing billionaires are self-made. Blahhhhh! Join a union.

The 24th day of the annual Space Telescope Advent Calendar features dozens of galaxies in a cluster, most appearing stretched or warped in varying ways. Check back every day until December 25 for a new image of our universe:

I am telling you that a large part of their dysfunction is that several Trump officials imagine themselves, constantly, as being in a social media sizzle reel where they display status and dominance over others. Their online personas are driving their actual behavior.

This year, we continued making life-saving progress on gun safety at the state level. In 2026 and beyond, we will keep fighting—state by state and law by law—until every corner of America is free from the threat of gun violence.

While you’re at it, Santa, please check that Elon Musk is at the top of your naughty list. Twice.

A 17-year-old worker died at a pork producer in Nebraska run by the governor’s family. Two investigations later, the boy’s mother is still searching for answers. trib.al/z7ZUF62

Badgers: Ron Johnson refuses to respond to emails, have an aide answer his phone in DC, free up his vm in DC for comments, or, attend a town hall meeting. So, here's his address in case you'd like to send him a holiday card. Ronald H Johnson 5194 Island View Dr Oshkosh, WI 54901

@cubbie50.bsky.social www.usatoday.com/story/opinio... This relies on states to stop allowing corporations to make unlimited donations to campaigns. Citizens bring this as a referendum to a vote. This won’t work in WI as the R’s stopped the ability of citizens to have a voice - we need to fix this.

Clinton, as well as the Epstein survivors, demand that the DOJ release the remainder of the Epstein files, thus removing suspicions that Clinton is the reason the files have been kept private in the first place. #Pinks #ProudBlue #BillClinton #EpsteinFiles #DOJ #Bondi www.axios.com/2025/12/22/e...

🚨Missing File 468🚨 This PDF contained a photograph of a credenza or desk in Epstein's New York home. Inside an open drawer were several personal photos, including one showing Donald Trump, Melania Trump, Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell. #HesEverywhere #Pinks www.npr.org/2025/12/20/n...

An ironic comment from Stephen Miller whose unkindness and cruelty is prevalent in the agenda he initiates without empathy or regret. He's an icicle. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DV1 #Pinks

Commit to investigations and prison sentences or be primaried!!!!!

Take the fuck’n gloves off

Science took a massive hit this year. A crippled #NIH = 1. Incomplete studies that could lead to next gen treatments 2. Unfinished clinical trials that put patients' lives at risk 3. Brain drain w/ China as new leader 4. Fewer next gen scientists get trained 🧪 theconversation.com/this-year-ne...

25th Amendment is still available!

Amid soaring starvation in the Kakuma Refugee Camp, one young mother of two said she had considered taking her own life to save her children, “because I heard the U.N. takes care of the kids when the parents are gone.”

For over 20 years, Washington has tried sanctions, coups, and backroom deals to get control of #Venezuela’s oil—and failed. In fact when Bush failed he pivoted to another failed war in Iraq. Why should anyone trust Trump to send U.S. troops into harm’s way for another oil war?

"One of the big reasons why a lot of us grew up as conservatives is we were afraid that if you give too much power to the government, someone bad could come in and use it for their own personal gratification and empowerment," George Conway says. "And here we are. This is exactly it."

A 4-star general testified he’d launch military attacks inside the U.S. on “designated terrorists” if he is given a lawful order. Add in Trump’s NSPM‑7 order that targets "left-wing groups" and “anti-government” beliefs and you're watching America slide into military rule.

I'd forgotten this - we made Ukraine vulnerable and trvmp is walking away from them and toward his favorite oligarch.

DIstracting us from this terrible pipeline operation by not giving us the Epstein files - this was bad for them on both counts. We got hardly anything of the Epstein files.

“.. Not since the U.S. allied with Joseph Stalin during the Lend Lease Act has a White House official enjoyed such frequent, personal access to a Russian or Soviet leader. “Witkoff has yet to visit Ukraine.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/putin-...

When Trump came back to office, Putin studied psychological profiles of his circle and decided he wanted to deal with Witkoff not Kellogg. A year later, Kellogg is out and Witkoff, who Trump says "knew nothing" about Russia, has been to Russia six times. www.wsj.com/world/putin-...

NEW: After months of the government telling the court under penalty of perjury that the US Attorney alone made the decision to charge Kilmar Abrego with a crime, there is now EVIDENCE tying Todd Blanche to the decision. More to come on Substack... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This, too, is outrageous -- firing an immigration judge because he granted asylum to six people. Trump's folks have made clear they want "deportation judges." Just rejecting any semblance of due process. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

This Epstein files "release" is the most disgusting cover up in American history

Yes, this is a real government ad… “Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?” In a country built on centuries of actual discrimination, the EEOC is using civil rights language to insulate white male mediocrity from competition.

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.
