A shout-out to Minneapolis, New Orleans, Cortlandt Manor, Little Rock, and Westerville. Incredible work this weekend. Tomorrow, there will be even more of us.

Trump and Stephen Miller kidnapped innocent people of color and just sent them to die in a foreign prison. Oh American taxpayer dollars - 6 million of them - went to pay Bukele of El Salvador for this dirty work.

60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi sharply summarizes the appalling decision of Bari Weiss not to run her CECOT story: “If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.”

The president’s underlings are charged with a release detailing the crimes of his “closest friend.”

Trump’s trade wars come home

This is super cool!

I can’t wait to only comply with the spirits of laws.

Veterans are speaking out—sharing how Trump’s VA cuts have left them struggling to get care, keep food on the table, and stay afloat. Their message to Congress is simple and heartfelt: do your job. Stand with the people who sacrificed for this country, not with Trump.

The Longest Suicide Note In History Trump's National Security Strategy isn’t really a strategy document at all: It's A Suicide Note. If the ideas within it are really used to shape policy, then U.S. influence in the world will rapidly disappear. open.substack.com/pub/anneappl...

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE. www.npr.org/2025/12/20/n...

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

“The New York Times contacted Ms. Farmer about a report stamped with the date of Sept. 3, 1996. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years,” she said. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”

Ideally yes you'd want both deals blocked but that's not the reality we live in Our regulators have been lobotomized, the government has no plans to serve the public interest, and fascism and autocrat state television is, to me, the bigger threat than homogenized Netflix cack

Without Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, Black residents in West Tennessee worry about the future of local democracy: “In my heart of hearts, I would know that there is a certain degree to which my vote wouldn’t matter.”

The trail opening Sunday at the Northland Arboretum in Baxter winds through snow-covered pine trees and fields in a loop just under half a mile long. Unlike a frozen lake or smooth rink, there are curves, hills and occasional bumps.

Courts are using originalist arguments to expand executive power in democracy-eroding ways. Here's how lawyers can push back: bit.ly/4iQ1v0B

Trump administration lawyers admitted in court filings that they specifically targeted blue states for energy grant cuts during the government shutdown
