Christmas morning at Delaney Hall ICE Detention, Newark NJ. 7:30 am, 34 degrees, a mom with her baby wrapped in a blanket waits outside on a metal bench to see her husband. There’s no indoor waiting area. As always with Trump: The cruelty is the point. Merry Christmas.

This is one of our favorites!

Donald Trump: “I am fine. You sound beautiful and cute. How old are you?” Caller: “I am eight.” This exchange was during the NORAD Santa Tracker hotline calls for children. He’s NEVER beating the allegations…

Oh.

Here's a particularly juicy nugget I found in my reporting . . .

This Christmas in N.America and Europe big business will make nearly $1tn in profit. That is nearly $2000 from every single person. Now ask why so many people are working for them right now and getting the minimum wage when they make such outrageous profits.

Because

Explosive allegations from the newly released Epstein files that DOJ says can’t be fully released. Missing documents. Redactions. Delays. Not transparency at all! A massive cover-up. The real question isn’t what’s in the files. It’s who they’re protecting. #USDemocracy #Pinks

French President Emmanuel Macron is calling it intimidation. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges and their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live.

CBS filed a copyright claim against my YouTube channel for posting Canada's version of the CECOT story that Bari Weiss killed—SO—I downloaded the transcript and read the transcript verbatim. Here it is. Please watch & share to fight fascism & censorship. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uRf...

That’s disgusting.

On the Larry Nassar letter from Epstein. FBI did request handwriting analysis of it suggesting they were not convinced it was actually from Epstein. That is in the files I believe. But what is NOT available (as far as I have seen as I post this) is what the analysis found.

There are a lot of files in this new dataset that have made me feel this way. I’m still making my way through DataSet 8, but this is some vile shit.

Lord knows I'm not a fan of any of this corporate media consolidation — Netflix and Paramount both should be barred from buying WBD. But in terms of sending a message, would be stellar if everyone watched Good Night and Good Luck on Netflix together next Sunday when 60 Minutes is on the air.

Happy holidays America! The Supreme Court just told Trump “NO” regarding his federalizing and deploying National Guard troops to the streets of Chicago. Trump is losing his grip on the dictatorial power he so covets.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Trump administration to start seizing pay of defaulted student loan borrowers in January

Jeff Landry has assured the people of Greenland if they join the United States they can enjoy extreme poverty, high violent crime, severe pollution, obesity/health issues and poor infrastrucrure just like everyone in Louisiana.

Regarding Greenland, the USA signed a deal with Denmark in 1916. Denmark ceded what are now the United States Virgin Islands in exchange for payment and recognition of Greeland as Danish. The USA not only has no claim on Greenland, but acknowledged Denmark's claim.

Catholic bishops asked the Trump regime to stop ICE raids during Christmas; their response was to go fly a kite. If Democrats did this, it would be considered an attack on Christianity. apnews.com/article/flor...

Epstein to Larry Nassar in 2019: "Our president [Trump] also shares our love of young nubile girls"

Tonight, I’m hosting my final telephone town hall of the year. This is your chance to ask questions, share concerns, and be part of the conversation. I hope you’ll join us.

We're about to have an incredibly soggy Christmas in California. Wishing the best to those in the burn scar areas of Altadena & Palisades.

Steves purchased the property to prevent it from closing. Many homeless people had come to depend on the Lynnwood Hygiene Center, which had operated rent-free on the property since 2020. n.pr/3MKbmJH

Looking for the truth about what it was like inside CECOT? Earlier this year, we spoke to the men the Trump administration deported to El Salvador. Hear about what they endured, in their own words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8INs141xeQ

JD Vance: “her street girl persona is about as real as her nails” Jasmine Crockett: “How about you stop worrying about me, until we are on the Senate floor together & work to stop your boss from bankrupting our country while engaging in the largest corruption scheme we’ve ever seen?!”

166 RFS- endorsed young leaders across the country won their elections this year. That’s proof that the next generation is done waiting for permission. Ready to add your name to the 2026 scoreboard? bit.ly/Run4what 🎯

Thou shalt boycott CBS (Censorship Broadcast System)

This doc touches on that. It also shows how immigrants, presidents, and some billionaires were staunch believers in conservation. They had seen how Niagara Falls was ruined by commercialization and acted to prevent that from happening everywhere. And here we are now. What’s conservative abt this?

CBS News may not want you to see its CECOT reporting, but I'm happy to share this powerful video that our team produced this year.

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

Bari Weiss, installed by Larry Ellison = 💀 of journalism at 60 Minutes. “If the admin’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.” — Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi 🎁 wapo.st/3YL4T3D
