Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Speaking of taping things up, here is the text of the note which playwright Lillian Hellman kept on the door of her work room to keep guests from interrupting her writing time.

If true, this would be worth a fortune.

Fox News gave the president's daughter-in-law a network show and she's got thoughts about the journalistic ethics of gushing over an interview subject.

One year into President Trump’s second term, working people’s lives are more expensive and less free. The Trump admin has made the wealthy and powerful even richer while we struggle to get by — and we’ll make sure workers know about every broken promise. https://bit.ly/3NUuvsH

Yes, if Warner Bros. is bought by another giant streaming company, your prices could go up.

U.S workers are taking home the smallest share of the economic pie since the feds started collecting the data in 1947.

The EPA will no longer consider how many lives are saved when setting pollution limits, the New York Times reports. Instead, it will consider the cost to businesses of complying with clean air regulations.

Note from a veteran police reporter: NAMING law officers who use lethal force under any and every circumstance IS NOT doxxing. It is journalism. Officers who invoke lethal force are ID'd publicly as a standard -- or were when we were a republic. Asdress, no. Name, rank, posting, etc. -- yes.

Nineteen states are raising the minimum wage this year. By the end of 2026, a total of 17 states and the District of Columbia will have minimum wages over $15/hr. In NYC and Washington state the minimum wage will be over $17/hr.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.

Today I helped someone at the library who didn't know you could borrow items for free. She gave me her library card and $40 to pay for the books. Was delighted when I said everything is free to use. I'd never encountered that before. I assumed people just knew library items were free and public.

We knew she doesn’t know how news works. But now we know she doesn’t know how publicity works because millions of people around the world are now aware of a story she killed on an almost 60-year-old weekly news magazine show

Well that won’t create a bias at all

On a call just now, Bari Weiss tells staff she held the CECOT story because it wasn’t ready & to advance a months-old story, they need "the principals" on record. Yesterday, CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi warned if they can only do stories when government responds, it “gains control” over 60 Minutes.

Thanks to Anania and the team for having me on Gaydar last week! I think I did an okay job under pressure!!!

Paramount-owned CBS abruptly canceled a story exposing the Trump administration's brutal deportations. The reporter called it a "political decision." Paramount needs Trump’s backing to buy Warner Bros. — including CNN. Is that just a coincidence? This looks like corruption.

But why has nobody asked Pennywise for his side of the story?

I never thought I would face a terror worse than finding a soaking wet rat sitting on my toilet seat but life has proven me wrong time and again www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/u...

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

“…so it’ll be a union job” 🥰

Julie Su was an unrelenting warrior for workers as Secretary of Labor. She’ll bring all that fire as NYC’s first ever Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice. Asian mom power!! ✊ @wgaeast.bsky.social @juliesulabor.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.
