Recall that Trump/Miller have refused to deport Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica even though he's signaled acceptance of that. They must deport him to the country of *their* choice because otherwise it won't look dehumanizing and cruel enough. This is abominable conduct. newrepublic.com/article/2043...

China has launched major military drills near Taiwan, involving ground forces, navy, air force, and rocket units in the Taiwan Strait. The exercises focus on sea-air combat patrols, blockades of key ports, and pressure beyond the island chain. Beijing says the drills are a warning to Taiwan.

ICE raids appear to be 100% responsible for the current housing crunch in south Texas. Indeed, they have brought residential construction to an end.

Absolutely.

So my dear friend @mamafoo2000.bsky.social and I lunched in a famous, iconic Parisian brasserie this week and of course had to start with their famous, iconic (French) onion soup. After a few spoonfuls, she said "yours is so much better" and I won't argue. jamieschler.substack.com/p/authentic-...

As AI continues to advance, more people will come to assume that anything they dislike or disagree with must be the product of AI. This reflects a form of motivated reasoning combined with a breakdown in collective sensemaking. This became obvious to us in late 2023 while developing the plan for...

The NYT asked me to write about Christmas in the Trump economy, but also assigned too many holiday columns so mine didn't make it in. But here it is! The Hallmark Christmas movie you didn't ask for: www.elizabethspiers.com/a-hallmark-c...

Definitely not a DHS response that was run by any lawyer worth their license

WHAT?

Seems like if the goal was really "deportation" they'd be paying for more planes, not more prisons. It's not like they're arresting people that fast, so they must be intending to hold them for longer.

Censorship in the Epstein Files? A Simple Copy and Paste Is Enough to Reveal lavocedinewyork.com/en/news/2025...

“I’m 84 years old. Threats against my life expectancy are kind of hollow. I don’t have much time anyway. I’m more concerned that our democracy is at risk because of the trends against the rule of law.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Republicans have quietly started to talk about removing House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) , according to a report.

Garcia: They are, on one hand, putting names of survivors in these documents that are not redacted. And in these same documents, they're taking extra time and being extra careful to redact the names of the coconspirators

"More broadly, the whole affair neatly encapsulates the bizarre anti-free-speech free-speech discourse of the past decade, the purpose of which has been to justify restricting any speech that conservatives disapprove of while framing liberal censoriousness as equivalent to state censorship."

(Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department released a new trove of documents on Tuesday from its investigation into .. Jeffrey Epstein, including an email from a prosecutor indicating President Trump had traveled aboard his private jet "many more times than previously has been reported". @reuters.com

Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds a lower court block on Trump’s attempt to send the National Guard to Chicago, ruling the president unlawfully used an archaic statute to federalize hundreds of state troops.

“Jews who applaud the administration’s crackdown will soon find that they do so at their peril…Jews have been here before, many times, and it does not end well for us.”

Remember when everyone cried foul when #BariWeiss took over CBS News bc they were sure this amounted to turning broadcast news into state run media that would kowtow to Trump’s wishes instead of doing actual journalism? Well those people have absolutely been vindicated. www.npr.org/2025/12/22/g...

“What's happening to CBS is a terrible embarrassment and if execs think they can build shareholder value by avoiding journalism that might offend the Mad King they are about to learn a tough lesson. This is still America and we don’t enjoy bullshit like this.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

“They want us to be overwhelmed. They want us to become benumbed to the mounting horror. They want us to think their success is inevitable & there’s nothing we can do about it. This is how they win.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.

2/ and there’s more! lol. Just as predicted.

In an internal memo, seen by CNN, Sharyn Alfonsi predicted that "the public will correctly identify this" as corporate censorship. WaPo has more from Alfonsi here >>>

This is what censorship ACTUALLY looks like.

This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about
