Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

Let me understand this. A president rigs an election but faces no consequences because he won the election?

I’ll never ever believe that Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris lost their elections and Jack Smith’s damning testimony only helps to cement that for me.

BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee has released Jack Smith's 255-page deposition transcript: judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

One the greatest cons Republicans have pulled on Americans is that they are the fiscally responsible party.

This is how you do it folks

Donald Trump targets his political enemies in order to keep power. In 2026, that won't just mean going after people like James Comey and Tish James. It will require him to target voters who he needs to disenfranchise to keep control of Congress. The fight for democracy is more urgent than ever.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

Trump and his Republican servants have cancelled 40% of American power generation growth for the next 10 years, with no replacements. Every. American. Will. Pay.

Who agrees? ✋

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Before every meeting or even phone call with Zelinskyy, Trump first calls Putin. That should tell you something. It is a strictly one-way street since he never calls Zelinskyy, EU leaders, or anyone else before talking with Putin. Clearly, Putin's approval matters to him.

Two weeks ago I spent the whole day at the Museum of the Moving Image to listen to New Yorkers. This is what Liam shared with me.

Huge win for Richard Noticias LA, TikTok journalist shot by ICE. Criminal charges dismissed with prejudice, meaning can’t be refiled. ICE did him DIRTY. Repeatedly. Inhumane treatment, basically medical torture. Still in ICE custody on immigration case. They owe him unconditional release.

Trump calling Putin BEFORE his meeting with Zelenskyy should tell you everything you need to know about how the U.S. no longer thinks for itself.

"it's almost like Trump is acting like an intermediary, trying to express Putin's wishes to Zelenskyy and to the world, which is what he did after the Alaska summit," @radiofreetom.bsky.social said. "It's what he does every time he gets off the phone with Putin." www.rawstory.com/trump-267483...

Born deaf and blind, she's caught in Trump's anti-diversity crusade: A program for deafblind children helped 3-year-old Annie Garner, born with poor vision and no ears, learn to communicate. The Trump admin cut the program's funding over diversity goals. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/15/u...

In my experience, the best way to help a country succeed is to not invade it.

That's Not Fair,But In Chumplandia It Is A Reality......

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles. When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies. This is outrageous.

Once again raising the question -- why is the president's son-in-law at this official event?

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

I usually post only once a day. If I ever post this many in one day, please contact my loved ones so they can stage an intervention. #ThankYouForYourAttentionToThisMatter 🙏

I love the smell of panic in the evening. Smells like…victory

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

On the night of 23 December 2025, Russia attacked Zhytomyr region with kamikaze drones and cruise missiles. 6 people were injured, including 2 children. Zhytomyr Regional State Administration confirms that Kristina Soloviova, born 2021, died in hospital. Rest in Peace! 📷 Zhytomyr City Council

WATCH — @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Over 1200 survivors raped or abused, and you have rich and powerful men doing this - and this country did nothing.” (H/T @cwebbonline.com )

trump is defending Christians in Nigeria…what about the Christians he had kidnapped and imprisoned?

All of Ukraine is under a Russian missile attack Multiple Kinzhal ballistic and Kalibr launches reported. Powerful explosions heard in Kyiv Russia is targeting the capital's power grid. Power outages in several districts (apart from 16 hour power cuts)

How does one stumble upon a million more documents?

He let loose almost 200 unhinged posts on Christmas Day. You’d think someone would have wrestled his phone away after 20, 40 or even a hundred posts. They know he’s too far gone. They also know he won’t escape the Epstein fallout. They’re letting him make his case for the 25th amendment.

You almost have to feel bad for an ugly old man with no family or friends to keep him company on Christmas Day that he makes 200 crazy posts ranting about everything under the sun. Almost.

He must go - there is no long any rational basis for him to serve as president

Trump should resign. If he does not resign, he should be removed. I'm not saying this because i think it will happen, I'm saying this because it's important to repeat the truth. #TrumpEpsteinFiles

To me, the Christmas message is that we should care for the needy and vulnerable. I don't understand people who think it means we should smash the car windows of immigrants, tear-gas neighborhoods and zip-tie children. May federal agents lose their masks and find their souls.

Defying and dismantling authoritarianism is hard work. If we don't make room for rest and joy, we can't bring our best to the fight. You're part of a movement that's going to make sure that the new year is better than the last — in the meantime, rest up and get plenty of fresh air!

"Like Amazon Prime, but with human beings."

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

When a major media outlet openly capitulates to the political agenda of the executive branch, they are no longer part of the fourth estate. They are state-run media. Add Bari Weiss and CBS to the list of those who have betrayed our Republic.

We’ve gone from bootlegging whiskey during prohibition to having to bootleg truth during fascism…

NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
