The mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was reportedly engaged in a nasty years-long custody battle with the White House press secretary’s brother before she was detained by Immigration and Customs enforcement last month. trib.al/QrdO7XA

That's what you call abuse of power. That cross she wears should be burning the hell out of her.

BREAKING on MS NOW:   Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

So this must mean that Kash Patel is going to tell Trump he has to revoke his pardons for the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and reinstate their convictions for sedition in connection with January 6, right

2/ Secretary Hegseth bears ultimate responsibility as the designated Target Engagement Authority. And recall how many times he has said Admiral Bradley acted within the authority Hegseth gave him, and that Bradley made "the correct" decision.

If there is a God in Heaven the Matthew Rhys Power Broker series will be made

No "two different realities" bullshit. One side is calling for release of the video, and the other is not.

TORRE: “What’s it like to watch CBS right now?” CHUNG: “We don’t.” @pablo.show $PSKY

Himes: They posed zero threat to anyone in the region, and we killed them.

Rep. Jim Himes after being briefed by Adm. Bradley: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service. You have two individuals in clear distress without any means of locomotion, with a destroyed vessel, who are killed by the United States."

This is either really good news (Paramount is out on WBD) or really bad news (previewing government intimidation into taking a bad deal to appease the president).

European leaders tell Zelenskyy that the US will betray Ukraine

It’s time for Europeans to stop trailing behind Donald Trump and instead draw up their own peace plan for Ukraine, Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius told POLITICO.

Real wages (after inflation) were growing at 2.0% last year. Now it’s 0.8% — “clearly playing into what the majority of American households would define as an affordability crisis.” @joebrusuelas.bsky.social

I’ve been reporting about the potential connection of tariffs to small biz job losses. Scott Lincicome of Cato offers this piece discussing not just the high level of the tariffs, but the “truly insane complexity” whose “overall economic cost is likely staggering. “ thedispatch.com/newsletter/c...

Senate Intel Vice Chair Mark Warner on the Signalgate report: "Hegseth endangered the lives of American pilots based aboard the USS Harry S. Truman as they prepared to launch a mission against terrorist targets." He is calling for Hegseth to resign.

This isn't just about writing — it's also a testament to the importance of all writers to have a good editor!

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

This is a smart way to look at it:

he's gotta go

Really think we should be saying this more to counter the defeatism and doomerism out there. We're winning these information wars:

NEWS: US private employers shed 32,000 jobs in November, according to the latest ADP report. That’s 4 months of job losses in the past 6 months. Small businesses are being hit hardest in the Trump economy. Most industries are seeing layoffs.

Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected. Small businesses were the hardest hit.

“.. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pushed back against Trump’s depiction of Somalis, saying it ‘violates the moral fabric of what we stand by in this country as Americans.’” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/minn...

As George Will writes tonight: “a moral slum of an administration.”

It really isn’t said enough how much these people straight up hate America. People should say this a lot more frequently. They simply don’t like the good parts of modern American life.

JUST IN: Pop star Sabrina Carpenter has fired back at the Trump administration after the official White House account used her song over footage of federal agents chasing down immigrants. "this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda."

MAGA is a hate movement. Megyn Kelly said: "I not only wanna see them killed in the water...but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out" Combine that w/Hegseth acting like a teen pulling the legs off a spider:

Sen. Mark Kelly: "For most of Donald Trump's career, bullying people has worked out for him, but not now, because I won't let it happen. President Trump is trying to silence me, threatening to kill me for saying this true, and he sent his secretary after me, and it's not going to work."

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) delivered a sharp rebuke on Monday following reports on the Pentagon's controversial boat strike, in which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was reported to have authorized a second attack on survivors of an initial strike.

Chabria: Amid national sorrow, Trump stops pretending it's about the 'worst of the worst'

New, from me: Trump’s justification for invading American cities and other countries is to reduce the crime he is actively encouraging through his pardons. It’s emblematic of how corrupt the pardon process has become under Trump. Deep dive 🧵 to follow. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

Breaking: Costco is suing Donald Trump for his tariffs, declaring them illegal and demanding a “full refund” for raising prices nationwide.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

The rule against attacking people “out of the fight” is foundational in U.S. and international law. And there’s no doubt it was crossed. A suspected Venezuelan smuggling boat was destroyed, survivors remained afloat, and a follow-on strike killed them. trib.al/fhLR4tF
