It seems that Friday we will be at war, to keep the EPSTEIN files hidden.

This video is from a year ago today. MELIA spent Christmas at the shelter. Let's not let it happen again. Be her miracle 🙏 Hempstead Animal Shelter [email protected] (516) 785-5220 3320 Beltagh Avenue , Unit Wantagh, NY 11793 ⬇️ www.facebook.com/reel/5733265...

He ate at this restaurant every day. When he didn’t show, the chef saved his life. A gentle kind story we all need to know about. www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/20...

"On December 16, 1773, hundreds of colonists hurled tea into Boston Harbor in protest of King George’s tyranny, in what some call the single most important event leading up to the American Revolution"

NO KINGS. NO TARIFFS. NO ICE. Dec 16, 2025 marks 252 years since the Boston Tea Party. A wannabe king is trashing the Constitution, jacking up costs with tariffs, and terrorizing immigrants with ICE. So we’re answering. 🧊 Join the Boston ICE Tea Party. zurl.co/xOTGB

Boston ICE Tea Party 252nd Anniversary

On the 252nd anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, demonstrators retraced the historic march from Old South to the Boston harbor tonight and dumped ice into Boston Harbor, declaring: No Kings, No Tariffs, No ICE. 📹: @we.jamsa

Boston ICE Tea Party!

Abour to dump ICE into Boston Harbor at Boston ICE Tea Party #BostonICEteaparty

NOW: Boston Ice Tea Party!

Illinois should continue to recommend that nearly all newborns be vaccinated against hepatitis B, a state advisory committee decided Tuesday, in a move that could represent another break with federal vaccine guidance.

Just wanted to note that the hepatitis B shot was the world's first anti-cancer vaccine. It helps prevent liver cancer. The HPV shot is the second cancer vaccine to be developed. It protects against cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis anus and head and neck.

Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Mike Johnson was quick to condemn left wing rhetoric and cheer on companies who fired people for posting about the death of Charlie Kirk But he was too much of a coward to comment on Trump’s degenerate post about Rob Reiner

#ProudBlue House Speaker Mike Johnson says he won't call a vote to extend enhanced subsidies under the ACA, effectively guaranteeing they will expire at the end of this month.” Congress has 💯 free healthcare BUT will continue to deny healthcare to the 🇺🇸 people 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾 apple.news/AvIdWLgtHSKS...

"Virginia will now be properly represented by an actual patriot, who embodied the principle of liberty and justice for all and not a traitor, who took up arms against the United States to preserve the brutal institution of chattel slavery." -- @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social apnews.com/video/us-cap...

POTUS announces a blockade of sanctioned oil tankers in an apparent attempt to extort Venezuela. Real gunboat diplomacy.

Ummm, they seem to think they can kill whoever that want? They actually are doing just that and it doesn't appear to me as if anyone is stopping them. What's the head count now? Is there a magic number of murders that trigger action?

If they weren't afraid to justify their actions, they'd release the video and make their case to Congress. But they're far too busy chest thumping to care that they're dragging us into another forever war the American people do not want.

They seem to think they can kill whoever they want with no evidence and without Congressional approval. And it's troubling that they're hiding behind classification to specifically avoid accountability and transparency to the American people.

The briefing with Hegseth and Rubio only reaffirmed what we already knew: the Trump Administration is in clear violation of domestic and international law—and our own Constitution.

Not for nothing but federal law contains several statutory provisions that restrict, if not outright prohibit, this unilateral action by the senile dementia patient in the Oval. War Powers Act. War Crimes Act. Anti-Piracy Act. Neutrality Act. All still on the books.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Let’s hope the shift continues and that Massie and Greene are not the only (R)s with the guts to be vocal about the depravity of the goddamn U.S. President real soon.

I've been reporting on the criminal justice system for over a decade and have lived in an authoritarian country overseas, but I've never seen anything like the police presence in ICE-occupied Memphis. Here's my dispatch: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

That’s an easy answer: FUCK YES.

Michelle Obama always keeps it real. That’s why we love her. This is how a decent and good person speaks about other decent and good people who died from a tragic murder.

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela? AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

The DOJ has exactly 4 days to release the Epstein Files. 4 more days of relentless fuckery and mayhem before they violate the law or present us with useless, redacted garbage.

We are failing our kids

I reject the Coast Guard policy! They are Hate symbols. My dad in WWII helped fight against them. Coast Guard enacts policy calling swastikas, nooses ‘potentially divisive.’ www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Trump’s own lawsuit is backfiring. In response to his 2022 defamation suit over Russia reporting, the Pulitzer Prize Board has demanded Trump hand over all tax records and all medical and psychological health documents within 30 days. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AEUa2-c2hQrK...

The bill unanimously passed both state chambers and was signed by Gov Hochul, permitting NY’s board of elections to improve the accuracy and completeness of its voter rolls and across 24 other states and D.C. For more information on voter registration list maintenance see our explainer ⬇️

NY state just made it easier to maintain its voter rolls as a new member of a voter list maintenance org to share key data about voters moving in/out of state. This increases accuracy, protects against improper purges, & reduces costs of mailing to wrong addresses. Quinn Raymond applauds the move:

"The newspaper industry served as a feeder for our entire news media ecosystem. So when we lose those newspapers, we've lost that journalism. In the early 2000s, we had 40 journalists per 100,000 people. We're now down to 8 journalists per 100,000 people," says @victorpickard.bsky.social.

When I was on CNN's northeast desk, the first job at 6a every morning was to read the local papers. That guided some of what the massive CNN machine followed every day. When those papers die, CNN doesn't hire new regional reporters. What you get instead is more panel shows, more punditry.

BREAKING: Mike Johnson just said he won't call a vote this year to extend enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act — effectively guaranteeing they will expire at the end of this month.

In my own view, the smart politicians -- regardless of whether they are Ds or Rs -- will be wary of a rushed data center buildout that ignores concerns of affordability, and other local environmental impacts. It's Big Tech $ vs. everyone else. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

In an Ohio suburb, sprawl is being transformed into walkable neighborhoods. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/12/in-a...

John Howard, the prime minister during the Port Arthur massacre [in 1996], said in a 2016 interview with ABC Australia that observing American culture led him to conclude that "the ready availability of guns inevitably led to massacres." Yup. www.wbur.org/npr/nx-s1-56...

Let me help you out. Yes, you are.

Thank you, @heinrich.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social for being vs the SPEED Act! @democrats.senate.gov WHERE are the rest of you in opposing the GOP-led permitting deal to squash eviro protections on energy projects? GET SOME GUTS!! heatmap.news/politics/sch...

While Trump was repulsively disparaging Rob Reiner after he and his wife were murdered And callously dismissing the Brown shooting-which left two dead and nine wounded ICE was needlessly attacking more hard-working immigrants at gunpoint Because the Trump administration’s racism never sleeps

Trump unleashes groundless fury on Colorado Gov. Polis, smearing him as Venezuelan gang-thrall for locking up convicted vote-breacher Tina Peters. Such venom-cloaked distortions prop up fraud-peddlers gnawing at electoral trust. #TrumpLies
