Don't normally do under the hood stuff, but this convo between myself and Odie actually did exceptionally well on the site this year. It's one of the pieces I'm most proud of.

Putin bragged to foreign journalists that his forces had taken the Ukrainian city of Kupiansk. President Zelenskyy showed up instead and showed the world that Russia wasn't even there.

My favorite Christmas tree story: We decided to try stringing popcorn garlands. We woke up the next morning to find our dog ate the popcorn, leaving just the string.

We need more ethical people like Admiral Alvin Holsey.

My very first car was a 1964 Plymouth Valiant with push buttons for park, drive, etc. I bought it for $75.00 from a genuine little old lady in 1973. The original owners manual was in the glove compartment. Best car ever!

I know everyone is excited about Indiana rebuffing Trump. But in the redistricting wars started by Republicans, Democrats cannot get caught up focusing on November 2026. It is January 3, 2029 that matters the most. I explain why in my free Substack today. open.substack.com/pub/marionic...

The Lt. Gov. of Indiana has now deleted this post which confirmed that the Trump admin threatened to withhold federal funding from Indiana if they didn’t gerrymander.

Sorry honey, I shrunk the president.

I remember not being able to have a credit card without a male cosigner. I don't want to go back.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 268. This is a big one. Noem runs out of a hearing after getting destroyed and Indiana Republicans reject Trump. That and everything else that happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

One way to make Trump pay for trying to indict those who tried to hold him accountable is to make sure it backfires, to make sure his prosecutions make those targets rock stars. So a good night to share this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIbf...

Breaking news: The Justice Department once again failed to persuade a grand jury to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, another setback for the Trump administration, which pursued mortgage fraud charges that experts have long viewed as weak.

Two Steps Back: These States Could Repeal Their Legal Cannabis Markets in 2026

Elections are important. But know that this is going to take GENERATIONS to repair.

It’s been almost 6 years since #BreonnaTaylor was taken from her community, yet we still wait for justice and for commonsense solutions to fully materialize.

@warren.senate.gov publishes a report listing all the $$ that Congress gave to DOD to do DOD things that DOD instead spent on Stephen Miller's snatch and grab. As you look at these numbers, think how much cancer research could have been funded. www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Sperm donor with rare cancer mutation fathered nearly 200 children in Europe - arstechnica.com/health/2025/... "some of the children have already died, and many others are expected to develop deadly cancers." grim

My wild guess is that the Orange Mussolini is receiving intravenous infusions of medication to treat his Alzheimer's.

Trump's Hot Mess Rally www.againstallenemies.net/p/trumps-hot...

I've twice explained to spouse that there is no peace plan. Rather, there's a plan to limit the blowback when Trump capitulates to Russia. Trump will do it anyway: Trump is going to reverse sanctions bc he wants the grift. He's just trying to limit blowback for Russia Russia Russia.

Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. They deserve respect. Unfortunately, St. Joseph’s Hospital in Texas has hired union busters to stop nurses from unionizing. Unacceptable. I stand with these brave nurses in the struggle for justice & against corporate greed.

If every Muslim voter in Dearborn voted for Harris, she still would have lost Michigan. If she had won Michigan, she STILL WOULD HAVE LOST THE ELECTION. If you want to blame voters for current conditions, feel free to blame the actual demographic responsible for Trump and that is WHITE PEOPLE.
