Betty’s family announced her passing and has requested privacy during this time. In lieu of flowers, they’ve asked that those wishing to honor her legacy consider donations to Betty Reid Soskin Middle School and to a forthcoming film documenting her remarkable life.

We’d like to share a remembrance for Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest serving National Park Service ranger in the country, who has passed away. Her life and work helped preserve history, expand whose stories are told, and inspire generations to come.

60 MINUTES CORRESPONDENT: “Our story was screened 5x and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.” #CBSNewsMAX #BariWeiss www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Here’s the propublica version. bsky.app/profile/theb...

Pamela Jo Bondi, doing her part to help an administration that calls itself, with a seemingly straight face, "The Most Transparent in American History."

Hold onto your outrage. It shows you have principles. If we lose our outrage and accept this MAGA dictator crap, that’s what we’ll get more of. So stay angry, but stay hydrated too. It's a long battle, and we can win it.

I was not expecting a guilty verdict. I hope Judge Dugan is successful on appeal. I’m concerned about this emboldening this lawless administration.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Since he’s so obsessed with slapping his name on everything, let’s make him happy by releasing the Trumpstein files.

They control all three branches of government, yet all Trump could do in his annual accomplishments speech was yell at Americans.

The roof is coming down soon, not sure why he insists on crumbling on national TV, but we thank him for the notice…

Now that it’s over let’s get to releasing the Epstein files.

I consider myself a fairly patient person, but I can't listen to another second of this ridiculous, wheezing idiot. I'm done. Nothing he is saying aligns with anything that is really happening in the real world.

First it was "we have to blow up dozens of people on boats because of fetnanyl." But obviously it wasn't fentanyl being trafficked so then: narco terrorists are shipping cocaine! But then Wiles tells a reporter it's all about regime change and today it's bc US oil companies got kicked out in 2007?

Boycott those MFers

I'm already seeing a lot of single issue voters shit posting about one thing or another. If we don't come together and vote for the big picture we'll be pissing '28 away.

This. 💯

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

It seems that Friday we will be at war, to keep the EPSTEIN files hidden.

No blood for oil

Trump announces his golden ballroom may now cost $400 million, which is double the original estimate of $200 million. This comes as Americans’ health care premiums are set to triple in the next few weeks.

Republicans: Crickets… ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Why was Ronny Jackson's medical account of Trump's "gunshot injury" accepted when he wasn't even there and Trump walked into a Butler hospital? He released the report a week later on the Benny Johnson podcast. Does that seriously make any sense to you?

🚨 HUGE NEWS: Democrats' discharge petition to force a vote on extending the ACA subsidies and lowering premium costs for millions has gotten enough signatures. Speaker Johnson tried to block this bill because he doesn't care if your premiums double or triple. We do.

Excerpts of former Special Counsel Jack Smith's closed-door statement to House Judiciary Committee just now: "If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether the President was a Republican or Democrat" (MORE)

The GOP’s health care “plan” does nothing for millions who will see their health insurance premiums go through the roof in January. Facing a choice between seeing the doctor and paying your rent is appalling but that’s life in Trump’s America.

👀👀👀👀 We knew this already, but shocking to hear a prosecutor say it out loud.

"All of a sudden, after Republicans got crushed in that election, Fox News is willing to talk about affordability. It is a crisis, and health insurance is the coming crisis. Johnson kept us out of session for 8 weeks, we could have been working day in and day out preparing for this upcoming crisis."

Trump would much rather have you talking about a Vanity Fair article than the decades he spent sexually assaulting little girls w/Jeffrey Epstein or all the money he launders for the Russian mob. Remember that and react accordingly. He’s adept at media manipulation & distraction.

Jack Smith is testifying behind close doors because House GOP, who subpoenaed him refuse his request to testify publicly. Read the details here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I am sure this has nothing to do with the Epstein file release date this week....

When Trump came to office in Jan 2025, unemployment was at 4.0%. Today we learned unemployment is 4.6%. (In reality it's likely higher) In addition consumer sentiment is at the lowest level since Covid shutdowns. This is 100% because of Trump's failed policies!!

Despicable. Primary them all.

What's one crook to another? Rick Scott doesn't care about pardons. He got away with fraud. And what's with Republicans in some of the highest elected offices in the land not knowing anything about anything?

Rick Scott is astoundingly crooked

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

Let me see here... Trump is planning to launch a full-scale war against Venezuela on the same day that the Epstein files must be released according to a law passed by Congress and signed by Trump. It is almost as if Trump will stop at nothing, including war crimes, to keep the files secret.

This CANNOT stand. This is an abomination. Fuck cruelty being the point! Somebody needs to stand up for what is right and against what is clearly a gross violation of children.
