THREE Russian drones have crashed in Turkey in less than a week, deepening tensions around the Black Sea. The incidents follow Russian strikes that damaged Turkish-owned ships near Odesa, just days after Erdogan urged Putin to avoid escalation and protect maritime routes. -reuters

Releasing 100 pages totally blacked out is a fuck you from the DOJ and a huge admission of a cover up.

If you know anyone in the military, please share this with them. The Convicted FElon's $1776 bonus check for military is coming from their monthly housing allowance. So they will get less money for housing. Also the bonus check will be taxable income. They are getting screw. youtu.be/HbUkGtu25Ik?...

Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius): This European & Asian species of Jay is a habitual acorn horder and historically a key player in natural oak woodland regeneration. This Jay species has a harsh screeching call. Terrific photo of a Jay taken by Clive Finlayson in the UK. #eurasianjay #jay #nature

Wryneck (Jynx torquilla): 16.5cm (6.5in). This species is in the woodpecker family, mainly breeding in Europe and Asia. Most populations are migratory, wintering in Africa and southern Asia. It is a bird of open countryside, woodland and orchards. #wryneck #bird #birds #wildlife #nature

When you stop people from speaking up and voting, then a vote is not a vote. And that happened, probably many times already.

Trump has begun lifting American sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military. The Russians have finally offered enough money to the Trump family and Trump is 100% on Russia's side now.

Sincere question, who arrests government officials when the very ones who should be arrested run the Department of Justice?

Fudali: This is what we call in the civil litigation world a document dump, where you hide things in plain sight by throwing out a massive volume of documents with zero context, no order, no rhyme or reason, and then force the people who actually want information to dig through it.

“Finalizing the rule would mean major hospitals will likely abandon their youth gender clinics, pushing trans youth to increasingly darker sources for their life saving medicine.” Political attacks on trans healthcare are based on an ideological desire to erase trans people. We must challenge this.

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

Pam Bondage's EPSTEIN FILES FAILURE........

In Iran, people who criticize the Ayatollah are arrested and often die in jail. In Russia, criticizing Putin or any of his policies carries a 15-year term. China convicts democracy activists of "treason." Trump's America is preparing to prosecute protestors against his policies as "terrorists."

Delighted to tell you that Oscar the Dog has been happily running around and around a large back yard instead of "COME IN RIGHT NOW I MEAN IT" for the last twenty minutes and despite all of this running around his tail is still up and wagging.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

I can’t wait for the day we start ripping out all that golden shit out of the White House and tearing his name off of every taxpayer funded building in the country.

The EPSTEIN Files are a much quicker read than I expected.

Available to download Friday, some Epstein files no longer there Saturday afternoon - NPR

Yeah it’s nice to see someone from The Bush Institute speaking up for Ukraine.. might’ve been even better if it was almost 4 years ago.. but I guess we take this

This extremely sweet man was brought back from foster today; he's been there several months (may be a sitter stay for the holidays). SNAP HIM UP, Austin! Perfect family boy. Come and get him. www.austinpetsalive.org/adopt/dogs/a...

A Russian Orlan-10 UAV crashed in a rural area near İzmit, in Kocaeli Province. Turkey is a NATO member state. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.

Jasmine Crockett: “Did Trump’s DOJ really think dropping hundreds of blacked out pages counted as complying with the law— I know it’s a bunch of unqualified folks with no backbone over there, but this is next level”

I don’t think the law passed by Congress said that DOJ has to release less than 1% of the materials by Dec 19.

“The most transparent administration in history” only released 10% of the Epstein files yesterday. The DOJ must be confusing transparency with cover-up.

T'was the #Caturday before...we get to open all these presents. Mine nose says some are catto nip & treatos. Those might soon disappear to mine hiding spot 😸 Blame it on Dusty. Hope you all can make some good mischief today. Santa loves mischief makers. Good mischief. Love & hugs ❄️💙❄️

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

So, Stefanik just suspended her run for governor of NY and won't seek reelection to her seat in the House. If the current level of schadenfreude I'm experiencing lasts longer than four hours a TV commercial said I should contact a doctor.

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

Hahahahaha

For a man that regrew his ear it’s strange that his hand is always in recovery mode

How I feel when I check the news and find out what he's done today.

Can't really complain when you wake up and this is the first thing you see!

Speaker Johnson should not have canceled our last day of session and sent the House home early, just to block us from voting on a bipartisan effort to stop millions of Americans from losing their health insurance. Deeply disappointed, but not deterred. We have a lot of work to do.

Just remember: The Kennedy Center has not been renamed; that would require an act of Congress. Rather, a new and erroneous sign has been placed on the building.
