The holidays bring a lot up for people. Some are full of joy. Some are just trying to get through the day. Wherever this lands, it’s okay. May today give you a moment to breathe, a reason to smile, and a reminder that you matter.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

The person who made the decision to hold this story has never been a news reporter or a news editor. Really sickening.

Just finished some of my Christmas decorating and wanted to share

Shit just got real for murderer and war criminal Pete Hegseth, who inadvertently just incriminated himself. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

My refrigerator doodle for this month. Happy holidays from Cookii, Willy, Broly & Butters! 🎄

Listen, if you tell me that “taxation is theft” I’m going to need you to quit driving on highways or walking on sidewalks or attending a public school or using police or fire services or city snow removal. I would mention libraries, but…

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families. For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield 👇

Trump is pushing the hell factor to the next level against the American people. How many times must Americans say “he must be stopped “? Just one more time ? One thousand more times? This should be a free and SAFE country, and it’s not with Trump and his stand back and stand by criminals🤬.

Statement from Rep. Crockett on Threat at D.C. Office

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain. The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

A Dallas mom went viral after recording her daughter’s “awful,” neglectful experience while in labor at a hospital. The TikTok has reached more than 54m views and is sparking outrage over the treatment that black pregnant people face in the healthcare system. thebarbedwire.com/2025/11/18/v...

The Otter Core we need

Checkmate, Mr. President

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Why the Epstein Files story is not just a scandal, but a “meta scandal”: it doesn’t just symbolize, it embodies our society’s ills. From @jamellebouie.net one of the most insightful commentators of our time 🙌🏻

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

🚨Another Veteran of the USAF has been violently arrested by ICE - at 0600, in Portland, OR. This time, the arrest was on Veteran’s Day. If anyone has any information about anyone seen in this video, please follow up with the account on IG. 1/2

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

ICE abducted Leticia Jacobo and tried to deport her, she is Native American. Polk County Sheriff’s Office, which held her for ICE, admitted that it was a ‘clerical error’. Her family fought through layers of bureaucracy to stop her from being disappeared. www.iowapublicradio.org/ipr-news/202...

Great idea!!

Priorities.

For years they droned on about “the Deep State” - a powerful cabal that controlled everything. Then they set their sights on “the Epstein list” - a powerful cabal that preyed on children. (Spoiler: it’s the same cabal) Now they’re in power, guess who is protecting this cabal? They are. Odd.

The never-before-seen Epstein emails released by Oversight Dems raise serious questions about why the White House continues to cover up the Epstein files. This cannot go on. It’s time the American people got the truth. It’s time to release the files.

Shout out to everyone completely demoralized about the state of the world who still manages to get out of bed each morning. And shout out to you, too if you’re still in bed. This shit is hard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. They’re going though it too, which is both terrifying and comforting.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

A real president does this. Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

In this week's roundup: A big FDA announcement on menopause, what the recent elections mean for reproductive freedom, Kim Davis flops but efforts to undermine marriage equality continue, and fetal personhood laws continue apace.

Well done freeing this little guy

12:16 If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what the heck was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Even though this happened two weeks ago I just saw it. ICE shoot a US Marshall. This is how untrained these idiots are. www.latimes.com/california/s...

This is so insane. #MedicareForAllNOW

So it's up to us then isn't it. BUY NOTHING RESISTENCE NOT A PLANE TICKET. NOTHING. NOTHING BUT THE BARE ESSENTIALS. STARVE THE BEAST.

Oh’p. So there it is. The real story. I hope they (don’t) enjoy their blood money. Also, as many in the comments are saying: it’s up to us to boycott the airlines now.
