Trump denies disaster declarations for Colorado fires, flooding: ‘We won’t stop fighting’ trib.al/wfmTdLL

Meanwhile, this last-minute cancelation comes after Trump has been raging about 60 Minutes segments he doesn't like and complaining that the Ellisons aren't his "friends" anymore -- all while they are banking on Trump to side with their Warner Bros hostile takeover bid.

"effectively unprecedented"

Because of the woke left, people have been afraid to say anything other than "Happy Holidays" during this time of year. But now, thanks to the efforts of Trump, Vance, and the GOP, folks are once again comfortable with the more traditional, "Sieg Heil."

Her husband was murdered 100 days ago. Call me old-fashioned and hidebound and passé, but I still kind of expect widow’s weeds over whatever this is.

There's never been a better time to start a new media and news outlet, and there's never been a time with fewer rich people who want to.

They need more time to “both sides” a fucking concentration camp

The rate of return here is crazy: for a few hundred thousand dollars, this lab produces literally billions of oysters and supports a seafood industry worth hundreds of millions. And the Trump administration is just like "fuck all that, it's wasteful spending, you're fired"

Working to correct the numerous accuracies we found in the story.

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

Sad death of CBS News as actual journalism And a reminder that CECOT is a human rights travesty, and everyone up and down the Trump admin involved in illegally sending people there belong in The Hague.

Amazing work from whoever was up in N6914W over Ohio … www.flightaware.com/live/flight/...

This week, a bill to stop Trump from launching strikes against Venezuela fell 2 votes short in the House. Last month, our similar effort in the Senate came up 2 votes short. 4 more Republicans. That's all we need to stop this administration from potentially dragging America into war.

We've hit the bottom! Lowest solar noon of the year. Time to start gaining daylight again tomorrow. #HappySolstice

Person who has changed his name three times has opinions about authenticity.

I will keep saying this. If you bought a calculator and it EVEN ONCE told you 2+2=5, you’d throw it out and demand a refund. If you had an employee who lied confidently to you, and was easily caught, you’d fire them. LLMs are the untrustworthy calculator and the confident liar. Fire them.

New: Congress leaves town until 2026 with no health care deal 4 House Rs + 214 Ds teamed up to force a vote in January on a 3-year ACA funding extension. But Senate Republicans tell me that bill is DOA in the Senate. Premiums will rise for ~22 million. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research: they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

her older brother is in prison....that's what this is about. globalnews.ca/news/6468879...

wtf?

Squint real hard, and you might just see the “WTAF?!” word balloon that pops above Rep. Massie’s head right after Margaret Brennan finishes her question.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

My entire X timeline is anti-EU posts from people I don't follow. Even if I change it from 'for you' to 'following', it switches back to 'for you' each time I open the site. X is being weaponised against the EU. And unfortunately X is still the public square for European journalists & politicians.

Welker: Why did you take down the picture of Trump with young women? Blanche: We take down any pictures with victims in them. Welker: So those women with Trump were victims? Blanche:

Ads have headlines. And the paper chose to run that hed right under their lead story.

This is stuff that didn’t sell at a previous auction so prices are pretty good, too!

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

SNL took time out in the closing moments of this week's show to remember Rob Reiner, whose legacy includes a formative place in the history of the legendary sketch show.

Apart from the fact that they are taking his name out of documents after already releasing the documents, and how absolutely crazy that is, they had so many months to redact this stuff! There were stories about hundreds of FBI agents being put to work redacting. How are they still redacting???

Just incredible how underwater Trump is on tariffs.

They’re actually redacting Trump’s name AFTER the release.

France gonna France.

Two headlines neatly summing up everything that’s wrong with red state politics.

Sheesh, who *isn’t* on Ozempic these days?

WTF google AI? Is there a term for these?

I can’t bear boxing and I have never willingly watched a bout, but I watched and thoroughly enjoyed not one but two boxing clips today.

Has anyone had luck enhancing the text of the letter/contract in the desk? I know they're trying to hide Trump and Melania's photo but would be curious if the document also is embarrassing to Trump at all.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

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

Mamdani making latkes with Mandy and Kathryn Patinkin. This is my holiday gift.

I honestly still can’t believe they did this it’s just photos on a desk! it’s not even in the same league as his fucking birthday note! removing it after the fact is the biggest possible “we are covering shit up” signal they could possibly send, couldn’t look guiltier if they tried

This isn’t going great for the regime

I still find it incredible that Republicans are absolutely dedicated to sacrificing their entire party on the altar of protecting a billionaire pedophile ring just bc their president, a man most of them hate and fear, is central to it.

Really beginning to wonder if Epstein was murdered.

Did you know that the US hasn’t had an ambassador in Moscow in 6 months? Or that our chief envoy to Russia won’t take briefings from the CIA? But wait, there’s more. Much more in this 6-byline WSJ piece on the Witkoff-Putin axis. Free link www.wsj.com/world/putin-...

“Having elevated her in large part for her willingness to say outrageous things about her opponents, people on the right are now surprised by her willingness to say outrageous things about them.” A good and useful summary for those of us without the patience to pay more attention to them

I love holiday baking transporter accident season.

“At least one in five flights in the Caribbean has experienced problems with GPS navigation since early September.” Passenger flights now being put at risk. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/20/w...

A Cliffs Notes for the Jake Paul situation since I'm seeing people confused. Jake Paul and his brother were 'prank streamers'. Yes exactly. They got famous for doing that and got rich. Jakes fame got to his head and somewhere along the way he started believing he could fight pro boxers.
