New KIIS poll: 72% of Ukrainians are ready to support a hard compromise peace plan from Europe, one that freezes the frontlines but includes real security guarantees. At the same time, 75% flatly reject the so-called “Russian” plan that demands withdrawal, disarmament, and surrender.

Since we're discussing the two Brown Students who survived earlier school shootings, Mia Tretta and Zoe Weissman, remember that Kylie Ossege survived the Oxford School shooting and the MSU one, and Owen Robinson survived the MSU school shooting at the FSU one.

Animals suffer too Odesa ⬇️

Start naming mass shootings after politicians who take money from the NRA.

One of the students at Brown at the moment is Mia - she came to the WH to introduce POTUS Biden in 2022… as a survivor of the high school shooting in California

My dentist has no sense of humor.

The Venezuelan government said the US administration has unilaterally suspended deportation flights from the United States that were due to land on Friday. https://cnn.it/4rKWCtU

"This inquiry is not some academic exercise. Approximately 137 men were spirited out of this country without a hearing and placed in a high-security prison in El Salvador, where many suffered abuse and possible torture, despite this Court’s order." —Judge Boasberg

Good to see for checks and balances and interests of the country. Sen. Wicker has been very good multiple times. Senate Pushes Forward With Boat Strike Probe as House Pulls Back Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker said he would “listen to his colleagues.”

What NYT said about the NDAA versus what WaPo did, just in case you wanted to measure the extent to which NYT makes Trump the hero in every story.

Something curious: whenever I post here about Sarah McBride, it usually elicits responses how she sells out trans people. When I post on the other site, it’s mostly people misgendering her. She can’t seem to win either way.

Phoebe Memorial, the sole hospital in Albany, GA, was founded on the idea that all patients be treated, regardless of their ability to pay. So why do some residents — including many hospital staffers — turn to a free clinic for care? THREAD 🧵

Eileen Higgins won Miami’s mayoral runoff, beating a candidate backed by President Donald Trump while becoming the first woman ever and the first Democrat in nearly three decades to lead the city

#ICYMI: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detailed the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program. (Published Oct. 2025)

OK, seriously. This is wild. Judge Jay Bybee (1) raises a new issue — the Domestic Violence Clause of the Constitution — to consider in the troop deployment cases; (2) extensively details its historical application;

Is government unconstitutional?

Each year, a significant amount of federally protected wolves are illegally killed during deer-hunting season in Minnesota. One study found that 44% of all illegally killed wolves were killed between Nov. 7-16, a 10 day window when deer hunting is in full swing. Read more: https://bit.ly/3XGCnju

Former Texas Democratic Rep. Colin Allred announced that he was ending his Senate campaign and would instead run to once again represent the Lone Star State in Congress. https://cnn.it/4oI5vSn

If you're listening to the Supreme Court's oral argument right now, I recommend our counsel Amit Agarwal, who is arguing this case in the Court, explain the stakes below.

FWIW, the idea that Black women can't win competitive races is not born out by data. It's about (to borrow from Mitch McConnell) candidate quality: -Cheri Beasley outperformed in North Carolina (but Schumer didn't fund her) -Lucy McBath won a Trump district -Lauren Underwood won a Trump district

Trump is giving another $12 billion of taxpayer money to bail out farmers again from his disastrous policies. Just like he had to bail them out in his first term from his disastrous policies. But they will continue to vote Republican, as long as they keep getting their welfare checks.

No go on quid pro quo. Trump is livid that he pardoned Rep. Henry Cuellar for nothing: wapo.st/4rIEXDd

Ten current and former BLM rangeland management employees told PP and @highcountrynews.org that they felt pressure to go easy on ranchers — including downplaying the environmental harm of grazing in permit reviews.

"Dishonorable and Inhumane." These are the precise words the DOD Law of War Manual uses to describe attacking those who are shipwrecked. This week's episode of the Main Justice pod covers the latest on the killing of two stranded survivors of the first boat attack. open.substack.com/pub/weissman...

“There is a risk that the focus on the second strike and specifically the talk of ‘war crimes’ feeds into the administration’s false wartime framing and veils the fact that the entire boat-strikes campaign is murder, full stop.”

This post is long—I apologize for that—but it’s written in four parts, so you can read it in digestible chunks. But don’t skip the last one! open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Just the latest incident: Jamie Raskin had his security increased after pardoned Jan. 6 defendant Taylor Taranto, who was previously convicted for an incident involving threats against Raskin and Barack Obama, allegedly showed up near the Maryland congressman's house. www.axios.com/2025/12/04/j...

I hope to stick around in Colorado and find a way to contribute to the community no matter what the future holds.

"experienced gay person" sounds like Costanza saying he's a "confirmed heterosexual"
