DOGE was A LOT less likely to cancel contracts from companies that donated money to Republicans than companies that donated to Democrats.

Putin held a closed meeting for the Russian oligarchs where he stated that he demands the “entire Donbas region”, referring to the “Anchoridge agreements”. Remember, I guesstimated we will find out what was actually said there months and years from now..?

Jacob Wohl is the guy of “I overheard people talking in a hipster coffee shop about how much they love Donald Trump” fame. He’s apparently now making six figures securing pardons for fraudsters.

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

Christmas morning

Kinda seems like Trump punishing Colorado for not releasing Tina Peters (who tried to help him steal the election) from prison should be a bigger story

Trump is stealing almost $4 billion from a program to prevent homelessness in Vets, by falsely claiming it isn't working. As usual, the facts contradict Trump's claims. www.rawstory.com/alternet-pos...

Denmark’s MP is mocking Trump’s idea of “buying Greenland”

Robert Reich: When the history of this cruel era is written, the shame should be no less than the shame we now feel about the roundups and detention of Japanese Americans in World War II.

“The law explicitly prohibits the board of trustees from making the center into a memorial to anyone else, and from putting another person’s name on the building’s exterior” When this is over the only thing to be named for this man? The Midas Museum of American Lawlessness

Merry Christmas!

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel. "Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

Wait a second, last week, Trump said it was still Biden's economy.

Nothing like asking career AUSAs who have been under assault for the last year, watched their colleagues get fired for no reason, and their offices taken over by incompetent boobs to volunteer their time to perpetuate a cover up of their boss's involvement w/a sex predator 🙃

President Donald Trump slammed the late night hosts of ABC, NBC, and CBS in a series of Truth Social posts. Trump also said that any networks that are negative towards the GOP should have their licenses terminated.

"ICE officials are also investigating the couple for other crimes. They were found with a substantial amount of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 'What are those luxury goods doing in their possession?' asked the ICE spokesman, taking a moment to adjust his mask."

ICE deported a U.S. citizen who was born in Maryland and whose lawyer provided a birth certificate for as well as hospital records of her birth, against a judge’s orders forbidding her deportation. But happy Christmas Eve.

I looked it up. An "ex-officio" is someone who holds a position because of their status. She's a current member of the board.

Christmas Eve morning - watching the snow come down while making Christmas bread - braided loaf with cream cheese/pecan filling - while listening to Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from Kings College, Cambridge.

Literally any other attorney general before Bondi would have fought tooth and nail and then resigned over this alone. Letting White House staff take over making public statements in the name of DOJ is in and of itself completely insane.

"'I am so disgusted with this administration,' said Haley Robson, who voted for Trump, told CNN. 'I think Kash Patel and Pam Bondi both need to resign, and I would love to see Number 47 [Trump] get impeached over this.'" {gift link} www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

"Indeed, Trump's National Security 'Strategy' is entirely consistent with the goals of both Putin’s Russia and China’s authoritarian regime, both of which have long viewed the weakening of the Western alliance as a key part of their effort to displace the US as the leading power in the world."

Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

Trump: "Tell me what you think of my 'Master of Ceremony' abilities. If really good, would you like me to leave the Presidency in order to make “hosting” a full time job?"

White men are 30% of the population. They are also: - 98% of presidents - 90% of CEOs - 90% of billionaires - 80% of Congress Forever oppressed.

Community. Note.

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

Oh

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

New: We obtained thousands of internal chat messages from the ICE team creating viral videos of raids and "EPIC takedowns." A scramble to satisfy the White House and "feed the beast" spawned a new "propaganda" machine, current and former officials told us. "It's a war!" wapo.st/4s6YnC5

🚨 The Trump Administration is siphoning money meant to support our servicemembers and our national security to prop up its cruel immigration agenda—stoking fear in our communities and ripping parents away from their families. Hell no!

No! Most presidents do not in fact name anything after themselves while they’re in office, because they’re not toddlers who constantly need to be the center of attention.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

Trump's DOJ is trying to overturn D.C.'s ban on assault weapons ... while claiming to be SO concerned about crime in the District that it must flood our streets with National Guard troops. I think a president worried about D.C. crime would not be trying to arm criminals with especially lethal guns?

The Oath Keepers built a massive stockpile of guns for Jan 6th and kept them in a hotel in Virginia because of D.C.'s strict gun laws.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Bari Weiss censoring 60 Minutes to protect Trump is EXACTLY why she was hired. Larry Ellison runs CBS since he funded the purchase. See photo below of Larry with Trump. It's why Trump agreed to let Larry buy Tik Tok. It will be right wing propoganda on issues from US politics to Middle East

Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

Trump’s wants to take over DC’s public historic golf courses especially the one that sits on the Potomac River. The courses which are public have were sent a notice saying they are in default, which they aren’t. The grifting never stops. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/Ad0ro2m3tSuG...

This year, many people resigned their posts at the slightest hint that the Trump regime was displeased with them instead of staying and making someone fire them. Sharyn Alfonsi is showing us why you stay and refuse: you make clear your superiors are wrong and may them pay the costs of firing you.

1. BREAKING Sharyn Alfonsi, a correspondent for 60 Minutes, sent an internal email to colleagues stating that CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss “spiked our story” about the Trump administration and the transfer of deportees to a prison in El Salvador.

They literally handing $40,000,000,000 to Argentina just because

How would this be worded any differently if it were issued by the Kremlin?

Trump is no longer making any pretense of sanctioning firms supplying the Russian military. He is shifting the US position steadily to a pro-Russian position, including support for Russian military operations in Ukraine.

Blanche says Maxwell was transferred for her safety because she received numerous threats. I’m sorry, do you move someone to LOWER security in those instances?
