I suggest we invoke Damnatio Memoriae on Trump. There will be a lot to remove/destroy.

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

GOP Rep. Ryan Mackenzie signs the Democratic discharge petition for a 3-year ACA funding extension. He's #218. This now has enough to end-run Republican leadership and get a House vote.

NEW on CNN: In several old videos we found, Pete Hegseth blasted Trump in 2016 warning he could issue unlawful orders that troops should refuse, calling him an “armchair tough guy” with five draft deferments. Now he’s attacking Democrats for saying same. LINK: www.cnn.com/2025/12/08/p...

Q for the armchair lawyers screaming about freedom of speech: Do you want me to translate it into Russian, so you can ask Kremlin why they blocked X in its entirety in 2021? And while we are at it, here's the whole list of countries to send your grievances to: english.alarabiya.net/News/world/2...

This is the third newsroom (at least) with an FBI leak about the suspect being a Trump supporter. Seems some FBI folks — presumably not the political hires —are very eager to get this out there.

BREAKING on MS NOW:   Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

🚨 My first SCOOP for @ms.now: Mike Johnson has secretly been working to tank a provision to mandate IVF coverage for active duty service members from the Defense Reauthorization Bill—even as Trump has pledged to expand access. Here's what to know 👇

NEW @motherjones.com: When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Megyn Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him. Now, with Epstein, she’s claiming it’s not quite fair to call him a a pedophile because he was “into the barely legal type” of minors. ⬇️ www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"The DOJ will continue engaging tech companies to *eliminate platforms* . . ." This is your daily reminder Bondi specifically, and MAGA generally, spent the last 4 years accusing the Biden admin of jawboning tech companies to take down content in violation of the 1A.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform? Is it...requesting content moderation?

As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

"Joe Biden is a bumbling, dementia-filled, Alzheimer's, corrupt tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America." -Charlie Kirk (07/24/23)

Just deleted a post. Earlier reports had Tyler Robinson as a registered Republican. NBC and WSJ now reporting he was not registered with a political party. I don’t want to spread misinfo, so post deleted.

If the Kirk killer turns out to be a Groyper, as now seems likely (and was always a very good possibility), can we impeach Donald Trump for hanging out with Nick Fuentes and helping to get Kirk killed?

A society murdering its own future

An instantly-leaked internal bulletin at the politicized federal law enforcement agencies just so happens to say what the Trump admin and its allies want it to say. This is how it works in authoritarian regimes, the cops are too busy with propaganda and repression to actually solve crimes.

How Charlie Kirk practiced politics

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

OREM, Utah (AP) — Person suspected in fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk now in custody, FBI director says.
