(FWIW, and I can't stop thinking about this, it's not even a year. Eleven months. ELEVEN MONTHS.)

“They wanted to get me for something, so they got me for something.” Hunter Biden tells conservative podcaster Shawn Ryan why the gun charges he was hit with were unconstitutional (and not used against anyone else) — and how Don Junior played a role in his being charged.

Serious credit to Gov. Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and a bunch of people in and around Chicago who stood up to illegal, unjust, un-American, rights-violating anti-immigrant (or sometimes just anti-brown-people) federal operations. If they weakly acquiesce like some others did, courts don’t take it up.

The regime’s desire for authoritarian domination is infinite, but its capacity is not. Every act of resistance, every time anyone says no, makes them spend more of their limited resources. It bogs them down, tying up resources they’d use to hurt other people. Enough of that and the regime breaks.

NEW: @annamaria.bsky.social spent time at a maternity ward in Kakuma, Kenya, after the Trump administration cut funding for food rations there. New mothers told her stories about their pregnancies as they were left to starve.

Trump is going to go to war against our own NATO allies. And Republicans still won’t do shit.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells. Americans once opposed this inhumane system. The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

I will not forget that George Conway was a member of the Federalist Society- the group providing lists of conservative judges including the current Supreme Court to trump. @jackschlossberg.bsky.social and @cameronkasky.bsky.social are the true Democrats running in District 12.

Wow! Letter from Epstein to a convicted sex offender Larry Nassar right before Epstein’s death. This was in the files the DOJ released last night and then removed from their site.

Thanks GlobalTV Canada! 🇨🇦

CBS NEWS: “We can’t report on the current murdering spree until we get the serial killer’s side of the story.”

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.

Betty Reid Soskin, the National Park Service’s oldest ranger, has died. She was 104.

Does anyone doubt Bari Weiss spiked the story to kowtow to Trump? What a disgrace. At a network that once knew its duty to speak truth to power.

If you needed more evidence that Bari Weiss isn't the sharpest crayon in the box, the fact that she (a) personally spiked the story (b) in a way that left her fingerprints all over the decision (c) at the last possible minute, thus guaranteeing maximal exposure and blowback.

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

"If the standard for airing a story becomes, 'the government must agree to be interviewed,' then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from being an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state." Sharyn Alfonsi

Big kudos to 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi for blowing the whistle on Bari Weiss, telling her colleagues in an email that Weiss ‘spiked the story’ after ‘the story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices’. www.wsj.com/business/med...

In an internal email, 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi said new editor in chief Bari Weiss had “spiked” the story and said the government was using silence to “VETO” stories.

Thank you @kerrykennedy.bsky.social for inviting us to join the celebration of the ROBERT & ETHEL KENNEDY HUMAN RIGHTS CENTER. We fully support your fight for Justice, Equality, Peace, Dignity, Diversity & Compassion for ALL. (and we had a great time doing so!) 🙏 ♥️

C'mon, everyone! Bari Weiss was just trying to attract more attention to the story than it would have received if it had aired on 60 Minutes.

No, we don't want "free" healthcare. We want universal healthcare paid for by our taxes that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupted and sick. This isn’t difficult to comprehend.

The MT request from 4 MAGA congresspeople sailed through for disaster relief. Colorado was just denied. This isn’t the United States anymore- it’s a government pitting Red against Blue states. flatheadbeacon.com/2025/12/19/p...

For Jesus’ birthday this year, he’s asking for affordable housing, universal healthcare, and for people to stop using his name to explain why they’re being cruel to strangers.

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

Support independent media.

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

Parents sue over son's asthma death of Cole Schmidtknecht, a 22-year-old Wisconsin man who died of an asthma attack Cole Schmidtknecht, 22, had insurance but couldn’t afford to refill his asthma inhaler after the cost jumped from $70 to more than $500. www.pbs.org/video/life-s...

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

COLORADO — Trump rejects a federal disaster relief request, because the state is run by Democrats. Sen. Bennet: “Trump continues to use Coloradans for political games; it is malicious and obscene.” www.denver7.com/news/local-n...

“You have arrived in hell.” That’s what the CECOT director allegedly told immigrants. Human Rights Watch said “Detainees were subjected to constant beatings and other forms of ill-treatment, including some cases of sexual violence” This is what CBS doesn’t want you to see.

#GVerse SNL completely DESTROYED #Shit4Brains for hiding the Epstein files. This is amazing. Check it out!

Khanna: "The problem here is there are rich and powerful people who either engaged in this abuse, covered it up, or we're on this island. What the American people want to know is who are these people? Instead of holding them accountable, Pam Bondi is breaking the law."

None Of This Is Possible Without The Most Corrupt Supreme Court In American History….

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

It will be interesting to see herring eventually spawn in the area. Kelp is essential for herring too. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

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

This is a very astute observation. I hadn't thought about Keith Kellogg, he just disappeared from the scene. It makes perfect sense that Putin would want to fainthearted guy like Witkoff doing the negotiations. 🗽

The FBI finally figured out how to catch spies in a globalized, tech-driven world. Then Kash Patel came along. A longread and must-read:

They are killing innocent people in ICE custody. Now we are in Germany. Someone do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cowards and fascist enablers.

I'm thankful for my new and existing supporters who are ready to flip this seat and the state legislature. Together, we will tackle the affordability crisis, deliver quality healthcare, and fully fund public education. #howardforaz #votelocal #voteblue #azleg #ld27

Trump's decision to deny Colorado’s request for critical federal assistance is unacceptable,” said Senator Bennet in a statement. Trump continues to use Coloradans for political games; it is malicious and obscene. A disaster is a disaster.
