So in 2026, the USPS will no longer process mail as it comes in. It will process mail when they feel like it. So they can deliver a letter or a package a month later. The Convicted FElon is doing this to prevent mail-in voting without outlawing it. He doesn't want the Democrats to win the Midterms.

News: Restrictions on the release on the release of Volume II of Jack Smith's report concerning Trump's Espionage Act prosecution will EXPIRE on Feb. 24, 2026. BUT Judge Cannon will let Trump DOJ try to delay it further and DENIES a First Amendment group's bid to intervene. Doc buff.ly/fuP30K4

Former CIA Director Brennan asks Chief Judge in SDFla to stop govt from steering grand jury probe to Judge Aileen Cannon, citing "irregular activity" & Cannon's "demonstrated pattern of favoring ... Trump's litigation positions." By @charliesavage.bsky.social . (gift) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/u...

Nick Fuentes embodies the MAGA movement’s cynical embrace of extremism as a route to political power. After a power struggle in the MAGA universe over his place in the movement, the podcaster is reaping the rewards of the online attention economy. Fuentes is our 2025 Misinformer of the Year:

Despite Trump’s media sycophants praising the president, economists point out that the government shutdown heavily distorted the price data used in the report.

In sealed order issued 12/3, Judge Crenshaw found that @DAGToddBlanche's deputy, Aakash Singh, played a “leading role in the govt’s decision to prosecute” Abrego Garcia. Abrego’s attys’ failed to redact that language in a brief, correcting the error shortly thereafter... 1/2

This is important because Abrego prosecutor, US Atty McGuire, has been arguing that any vindictiveness by Trump or his political apptees, like DAG Blanche, doesn't matter, because McGuire alone made the decision to prosecute & McGuire was not vindictive. Judge Crenshaw doesn't seem to be buying it.

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

John Brennan, the former CIA director, is trying to keep the Trump DOJ from steering its "grand conspiracy" investigation into Trump's political foes to Judge Aileen Cannon, who dismissed Trump's classified documents case. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/u...

Legality is irrelevant to this Administration.

Most Americans don’t fully grasp what is the most powerful animating force in my former political party: white Christian nationalism. It’s real, and, bcuz Trump is an empty vessel, it’s a movement that uses him to grow in power & influence. And it’s growing. I hear it every day from Trump voters.👇

If Ensign corroborates Reuveni’s recollection about Bove’s “f-ck you” remark, it adds immeasurably to evidence that Bove lied under oath to the Senate (claiming he couldn’t recall the remark) & that Blanche lied in his tweet below, claiming everyone present denied it happened. ... /6

The govt’s filing yesterday in JGG suggests it will try to derail, by a 2d mandamus petition (appeal), next week’s hearings before Judge Boasberg. Testimony there could suggest that Emil Bove lied to the Senate & that DAG Blanche misled the public. ... 1/7 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"[T]o put the issue of border security as the top objective in one’s national security strategy is a kind of a nativist madness that is more about cultural—and let’s be honest, racial—anxiety about immigration than it is about any tangible security threat," writes @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org.

In JGG, Judge Boasberg will hear testimony from whistleblower Erez Reuveni on 12/15 and from DOJ atty Drew Ensign in hearings over whether to hold DHS Secy Noem in contempt. Declarations provided too "cursory" to tell if her conduct was willful violation of court's order."

The Kremlin is praising the new US security strategy. Any questions?

“…Even if they are able to clean up his mess … elect a supremely sane president next, America will NEVER again be a trusted partner. Because there are enough Americans who would vote for him … (again). I couldn't even say anything. She was right. The damage this has done is endless…”

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: This week alone, Russia launched over 1,600 attack drones, around 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and nearly 70 missiles of various types against Ukraine.

Trump's hurried new “affordability tour” follows shortly after his rhetoric turned so sharply dismissive on economic concerns that even his most loyal surrogates have been scrambling to explain it.
