Travel writer and TV host Rick Steves said he takes the verse ‘"ove thy neighbor" seriously and paid more than $2 million to save the facility in Washington state. https://wapo.st/4qw3IkN

This screen grab shows two very concerning items: (1) #Summers asking #Epstein if he is going to Xmas at MarALago on 12/21/18 showing Trump knowingly friendly w/Epstein still months before his arrest (4/19) & death (7/19) And (2) Trump asking Summers & Epstein for 3 names to replace #Mnuchin. #Trump

If we want America to be a great country, no child should ever go hungry! Urge your Congressional reps to fight for SNAP. Vote for candidates who don't want to starve children. MAGA politicians' actions show that they don't care.

ICYMI: I introduced my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, which would require greater oversight of detention facilities, repeal mandatory detention, and prohibit the detention of families and children. It’s time to protect immigrants from this lawless administration.

Republicans outright REFUSED to stop your health care premiums from skyrocketing in January—and now, millions of Americans are being kicked off their health care coverage altogether.

On this Christmas Eve, remember that Republicans are stripping healthcare away from more than 20 million Americans. Merry Christmas.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air

This was exactly Adolf Eichmann's job.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

California officials and weather forecasters urged holiday travelers to avoid the roads on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day ahead of a series of powerful winter storms that threatened to slam the state with relentless rains, heavy winds and mountain snow through Friday. https://to.pbs.org/4941VMA

CORRUPTION in PLAIN SIGHT!

Trump is continuing his assault on American diplomacy. He is purging talent and expertise to make it easier to ram through his failed and destructive foreign policy agenda. Leaving 29 Ambassadorships empty for the sake of gutting expertise is peak self-sabotage.

The DOJ is being careless and causing immense harm and pain to Epstein survivors. They failed to redact victims’ names and identifiers, are protecting co-conspirators, and have mishandled this case at every step. We stand with survivors and will keep fighting for the truth and justice.

Trump pretends to back women veterans but his admin stomps on the rights of the very ones who keep us free. This cruel policy will ban VA abortion access in all but extreme risks to the mother’s life, with no health, incest or rape exceptions. www.ms.now/news/abortio...

Happy Festivus for the Restivus

The U.S. Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee settled on five options for coins marking America’s 250th anniversary, including Frederick Douglass and Ruby Bridges. But the Treasury Department instead will include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. https://wapo.st/49c6WCU

While American families are expected to pay more for goods this holiday season due to Donald Trump’s tariffs, small-business owners are facing an existential crisis, Annie Lowrey reports:

Even if there had been due process...NO ONE should ever be sent to a torture prison

Here is the full CECOT torture prison segment that CBS tried to kill to appease Trump. Please spread it far and wide. YouTube: youtu.be/F81WnOyDXD4?... Substack: open.substack.com/pub/qasimras...

🇧🇪 Van Aert on 🇳🇱 Van der Poel’s cyclocross retirement hints 🗣️ “I was definitely a bit shocked when I read it. But at the same time, I can understand it. He has nothing left to win in cyclocross.” 📰 www.domestiquecycling.com/en/news/van-... 📸 Cor Vos

Exactly this: the administration’s concentration camps should be a howling, daily outrage, a scandal of historic proportions.

Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNOW show has 2 Epstein survivors blasting DOJ for failing to properly redact names, leaving some survivors‘ identities newly revealed. They suspect DOJ’s top priority is to protect other people — not the survivors. “We’re being re-traumatized by our government.”

Imagine doing stellar investigative reporting on a crucial topic of public interest and instead of amplifying and promoting it, YOU TRY TO ERASE IT. Journalism is officially dead at CBS News and I feel sorry for the remaining journalists at my former network.

Agreed!

Birds of a feather!

Some politicians said the widespread blackouts should make San Francisco redouble its years-long effort to take over PG&E’s electric infrastructure.

Trump raped kids and maga is ok with it! Enough said!

Wake up MAGA! You have been conned!

We at ProPublica obtained internal government data in May that showed the Trump administration knew the vast majority of Venezuelans sent to El Salvador had not been convicted of violent crimes. Our reporting is featured in Frontline. Read our full coverage: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

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...

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

So Global TV aired the stricken deportations segment from 60 Minutes in Canada…and someone recorded it. Here ya go!! 😊👇🏼 youtu.be/IIm66Tsao8s?...

This holiday season isn’t quite so merry for American shoppers as large shares are dipping into savings, scouring for bargains and feeling like the overall economy is stuck in a rut under President Donald Trump, a new AP-NORC poll finds. https://to.pbs.org/48Q4cL0

Our so-called opposition party can't afford to be cute or coy with what's happening here. It's not just naked corruption, it's ethnic cleansing, treason, atrocities, with naked corruption threaded through it. Personally profiting from slave labor and torture.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

More than a dozen Jeffrey Epstein survivors — along with family members of the late victim Virginia Giuffre — raised a myriad of concerns in a new statement: https://cnn.it/44AE8m8

New legislation from Rep. April McClain Delaney (D-MD) would "require the immediate removal of Donald Trump’s name from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and to prevent future actions to rename it or other historic landmarks or memorials."

Jeff's brother claims DOJ is stripping GOP names. “I’ve been recently told [that] the reason they’re gonna be releasing these things, and the reason for the flip is that they’re sanitizing these files,” Mark Epstein said during an appearance Monday on NewsNation. www.rawstory.com/jeffrey-epst...

“What's happening to CBS is a terrible embarrassment and if execs think they can build shareholder value by avoiding journalism that might offend the Mad King they are about to learn a tough lesson. This is still America and we don’t enjoy bullshit like this.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Is the Vuelta in 2026 too hard? It's not just the brutal amount of climbing, it's to be combined with seering heat as the Grand Tour ends in Andalusia. If you want to hear our full analysis of the Vuelta route, check out our podcast on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcast.

Some Trump Admin policies can be traced to long held goals of the right. Some to donor priorities. Other to culture war biases. This, the government suppression of an entire industry, is due to a property dispute the President had 15 years ago. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"Pulling the Supreme Court back from the cliff is something progressives should view as far preferable to the alternative—where it may not just be the Court that gets pushed over the edge and into oblivion, but our entire constitutional (and democratic) order." Me in today's issue of "One First":

CJ Roberts will go down in legal history as having led a corrupt, dishonest, inequitable Supreme Court. Future law students will be taught about him, Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Barrett and their use of the shadow docket to destroy American belief in the rule of law.
