Friends, I ask you for donations for our Defenders. Ukrainian Warriors from the 104th Territorial Defense Brigade, who are defending Ukrainian land in Sumy region, urgently need our help to purchase an off-road vehicle for combat missions. Their previous vehicle was destroyed by a Russian drone⤵️

A Russian war blogger says assault troops on the Kramatorsk sector now “enter” positions one by one on foot, guided by a lone Mavic because “the whole sky belongs to the enemy.” In one case Ukrainians sent 17 FPV drones at a single soldier; Russian units there have no drones.

Barely a blip in the news. 🦗from the New York Times editorial and opinion pages. Compare with days of Hunter Biden Hysteria about unprecedented abuse of the pardon power.

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 )

I ❤️Andrew Otazo! Bravissimo! If loving the Earth that birthed us is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

A leaked DoJ memo calls for prosecutors to charge people who film ICE with “domestic terrorism” They don’t want their atrocities documented. They don’t want a historical record. They don’t want the world to know. That’s why we have to keep filming. Keep speaking out.

𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗞𝘆𝗶𝘃 – 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟲-𝟮𝟳, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 Russia launched one of the largest combined drone and missile attacks of the war overnight into this morning, primarily targeting Kyiv and its energy infrastructure. 1/6

I fear today we no longer have a democratic republic. We have the appearance of a democracy. Proof? Look at the issues that have +50% public support that Congress won’t act on. When big corporations and wealthy donors want something, Congress jumps.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This is literally what the Telegraph campaigned for.

This is Roy Cohn - trump’s lawyer, fixer and mentor, taught tялмp the art of BLACKMAILING POLITICIANS! Roy Cohns other clients were mafia bosses like Galante, Gotti, Salerno, and trump sr. Never heard about it? Look it up Ad Casablancas trumps pedofile friend 😱

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

the white house briefly published - then deleted - a video with a list of the blacklist of unfriendly journalists. Authoritarian flavour for Christmas.

🤬 Shahed attack on a residential building in Kyiv.

Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were both the sons of Italian parents. Back in that time, the racist Stephen Millers of the time didn't regard Italians as Anglo-Saxon enough to be welcome as immigrants to the United States.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Many survivors came forward, and we began comparing notes and working with people in Congress. As we started connecting the dots, we realized that some of us were sent to the same person in Hollywood for movie auditions. Some of us went to the same modeling agency…

Acton: The fact that my opponent is Hindu has absolutely nothing to do with this election. No one’s religion has anything to do with the problems of everyday Ohioans. But this is coming from somebody who has literally spent his life creating culture wars and pitting us against one another.

Phang: If that happened in January, how in the actual hell is Blanche now telling the American people that they suddenly discovered a million more documents? GTFOH. As far back as January, the entirety of the Epstein files were transferred to Main Justice at DOJ…

Busy Presidentin'

I wrote this a year ago and it hit a nerve. It is still relevant today: Each time I have sat down to write something I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I cannot get out of my head. So, this week I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

📌If you think the paranoid, failing Trump is scared now, wait'll Republicans start bailing on this unpopular asshole in the run-up to all these these elections in 2026. Right now they are looking at losing the House by upwards of 50 seats, as well as the Senate. They back him at their own peril.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

It's never covered because they are working together The NYT can't condemn him, they need each other My hope is people stop giving the NYT any benefit of the doubt and treat them as if Bari Weiss was running that media organization too It's propaganda at this point bsky.app/profile/capi...

How are these fits of presidential incontinence never covered as their own news events in NYT? Hours of sick hateful bile from the curdled joyless leader of the Christian nationalists sitting in the ruins of the tinsel trimmed White House he’s demolishing — seems like a story to me.

PHILLIP: “We’re either a free market, or an economy that looks like China or Russia where you have to go to one guy to get answers on everything. If that's the kind of country you want, get ready for the next president who doesn’t wear your shirt color to do it.”

NEW: Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov reiterated that the Kremlin will not sign any peace agreements to end the war in Ukraine “right now.” 🧵(1/12) Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, December 26, 2025: isw.pub/UkrWar122625

If Trump was 100% guilty before any of the Epstein files were released, now he’s closer to 600%, 700%, even 800% guilty. MAGA math works both ways.

Residential areas were damaged following the arrival of Russian Shahed drones. This is not warfare, it is terror, carried out deliberately, day after day.

A year-end special from me: The 25 Worst Villains of the Trump Admin, in ranking order. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

The President of the United States is very seriously mentally ill, and elected Republicans are so afraid of him that they won’t do or say anything about it.

At the current rate, DOJ will be finished releasing the Epstein files in July, 2030* *15,000 documents/30,000 pages per month, provided they're being honest about how many documents they have.

Trump is compromised by Russia

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

On Dec 26, 1991, the USSR collapsed, ending decades of repression and allowing nations to reclaim freedom. Yet russia’s imperial ambitions persist, threatening liberty. We must resist its authoritarianism and aggression to secure a future free from oppression. Source: MFA #Ukraine

Tonight, my Uber driver said, “I never hear passengers say nice things about Donald Trump anymore. Several years ago, I would hear praise all the time. No more.” Just one sign things may be changing.

My turkey became fascist in the oven. Should I still eat it 🙇

This is what's known as "consciousness of guilt"

Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS, and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

In case people tell you that public criticism of the court doesn’t matter, here’s Brett Kavanaugh trying to walk back what he said in the ICE roving patrol case - when he blessed racial profiling & called the stops prompt. He was lambasted; @akalhan.bsky.social coined the term “Kavanaugh stops”

In February, Elon Musk posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He asked if we suffered childhood trauma and concluded by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This was my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

The AI bubble is building data centers around Texas. With most of them will come higher power bills, higher water bills, and barely any jobs. While I’ve heard of a few (and by “few” I mean “1”) responsible one out there, I’ve heard countless horror stories

Another victim has recently come forward.

ICE agent recognized out Christmas shopping—throws tantrum when citizens profile him. "We're trying to prevent you from kidnapping our neighbors," they say. "I'm not doing anything but walking, leave me alone!" he yells. "Not right now you're not—but the past 5 days you have." Philadelphia, PA

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR. I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol. They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

“they divide my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots.” Psalm 22:18

🔥 Another Russian "Franken Tank" burned down. The Russian military personnel were moving in a column towards Kostyantynivka. Ahead are two tanks with demining equipment.

Today is the anniversary of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Let’s hope history repeats itself with its successor.
