@thegodpodcast.com Hey God, if SANTA is from the North Pole then he will need a work Visa to enter the U.S., correct? So, will he be able to deliver Christmas presents this year??! ICE will RUIN CHRISTMAS! @theonion.com @bencollins.bsky.social @thedailyshow.com

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

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

Schiff: "I think we ought to bring Pam Bondi before the Senate Judiciary Committee demand answers as to why the DOJ has violated the law."

The boat wasn’t headed to the U.S., which we would have learned with a little due process instead of murder. www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

I was reminded of the despicable Supreme Court amicus brief written by 24 philosophers and associated right-wing cranks that have suffered no social repercussions for their harming of trans people. All of them are a disgrace to the profession; all operate with impunity www.aei.org/wp-content/u...

Chaos Is Coming open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... If we can't get this destructive, asinine regime out of power soon they will permanently damage our relationships around the world. This damage will not only hurt us strategically, but financially as well. #MAGATraitors #CongressionalCowards

It's unbelievable how corrupt the Supreme Court is. It's insane that we are letting them get away with it. They are taking away all of our rights.

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

Most young people are worried, as they should be, about the impact that AI will have on their lives and their ability to earn a decent living. Our job is not complicated. We must make certain that AI and robotics improve life for all, and not just make billionaires even richer.

Aside from the extremely dubious question of whether the occupants of the Venezuelan boat even qualified as “combatants,” ordering a second strike from an aircraft for the sole purpose of killing defenseless people was absolutely an illegal order.

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

Two National Guard members have been shot in Washington, D.C., and their condition isn't known, AP is reporting.

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

Public notice for the pending FTO designation of Cartel de los Soles. Document is slated to be published on 24 November at which time it will take effect. Next week we will likely see a considerable ramp in military activity, with strikes possible on land targets in Venezuela.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done. He’s scrambling.

Earlier this year, the United States deported 252 Venezuelans to El Salvador and paid its government to imprison them. Now two human-rights organizations have found that all of those men were physically abused, Conor Friedersdorf writes:

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Well Said Lt. General Hertling......

"Warming is going to exceed 1.5°C. We are heading into overshoot within the next few years": a stark message by PIK Director Rockström & James Dyke in @theconversation.com. Yet, science shows a way back: fossil-fuel phase-out, nature protection, carbon removal. theconversation.com/the-world-lo...

I think it's possible I may love the commentary on this photograph more than life itself

I hope you’ll read this piece that I wrote about Donald Trump, the price of having a president who openly calls for his political enemies deaths, & why we should be discussing this with friends & family during the holiday. joycevance.substack.com/p/sorry-geor...

"It remains to be seen what will happen when this case reaches the Supreme Court. But there is a very real chance that Texas’s gerrymander will fall entirely because of inept lawyering by Trump’s Justice Department..." www.vox.com/politics/469...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has released receipts that reveal that ProPublica has reported that Kristi Noem secretly diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in Department of Homeland Security funds to a consulting firm affiliated with her own campaign.

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene announces she is resigning from Congress. Her last day in office will be January 5, 2026.

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge. The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

BREAKING: Magistrate orders DOJ to turn over grand jury materials to Comey, finding real prospect that "government misconduct" may have tainted the case.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

Yes, sadly it is real.

Don’t break up on social media, kids. It’s just plain rude.

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

"They were intimate enough for her to see him flossing his teeth, his dopp kit overflowing with prescriptions. She writes that despite being 'sober' for decades, Kennedy [RFK Jr.] told her he still uses psychedelics, and smoked dimethyltryptamine, or DMT..." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/s...

A London judge ruled Friday that global mining company BHP Group is liable in Brazil’s worst environmental disaster when a dam collapse a decade ago unleashed tons of toxic waste into a major river, killing 19 people and devastating villages downstream. https://to.pbs.org/3K3NyiL

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Alabama’s political pipeline has turned into a locker room. Tommy Tuberville’s running for governor, his buddy for lieutenant governor. Both Republicans, one doesn’t even live in the state and the other’s never voted in his life. Yet they expect Alabama to hand them the ball. 🥴

For the first time in the COP process, the agenda has formally recognized the crisis of information integrity. Nations have signed a pledge to combat misinformation and disinformation about climate science and action. open.substack.com/pub/rebekahj...

Let’s be clear: the hold-up isn’t on our side. This was his campaign promise—so he needs to go ahead and fulfill it. Release the files. All of them.

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

Great idea!!

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"
