Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, son of Italian immigrant Gaetano Crocetti Frank Sinatra, son of Italian immigrants Antonino Sinatra and Natalina Garavanta Merry Christmas to everyone except Stephen Miller and his enablers and handlers

Phang: If that happened in January, how in the actual hell is Blanche now telling the American people that they suddenly discovered a million more documents? GTFOH. As far back as January, the entirety of the Epstein files were transferred to Main Justice at DOJ…

I love the smell of panic in the evening. Smells like…victory

Poor Donald. He's so stupid and confused. He thinks Barack Obama (who was no longer in power) controlled the 2020 election. And he thinks Joe Biden (who wasn't yet in power) authorized FBI agents to be sent to the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, when DOJ reported to Trump.

Not only does this intentionally violate the First Amendment to the US Constitution, it’s vile to watch mean-spirited, selfish ghouls who starve the poor and kidnap people for their skin color sanctimoniously pretending they follow any of the teachings of Jesus.

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Lord knows I'm not a fan of any of this corporate media consolidation — Netflix and Paramount both should be barred from buying WBD. But in terms of sending a message, would be stellar if everyone watched Good Night and Good Luck on Netflix together next Sunday when 60 Minutes is on the air.

If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Please step up and do the right thing. This vile man raped and molested children. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? 👇👇👇

Marco Rubio Is Not the Adult in the Room. He’s the Warmonger. Every single senator eagerly confirmed their former colleague to be secretary of state, but he is not at all the moderating force that they thought he’d be.

War is peace. Russia is fully committed to peace in Ukraine.

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.

“Merry Christmas to all, including the many sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein [and] attended his parties.” –Donald J. Trump

Also, Stephen Miller's children are 4, 3, and 2 years old. So if he thought very adult Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin would be their cup of tea, he is either a stupid parent--or, more likely,--once again lying to us.

Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were both the sons of Italian parents. Back in that time, the racist Stephen Millers of the time didn't regard Italians as Anglo-Saxon enough to be welcome as immigrants to the United States.

In courts of law, this is known as consciousness of guilt.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

Seems to me this is a pathetic exhortation but an air-tight confession of guilt

In the spirit of the season in the year 2025, the Bulwark offers you this all-star rendition of the Twelve Days of Grift-mas. Take-aways: 1. Some of my colleagues can actually sing. 2. Not me, though. 3. We shouldn't do this more than once a year. youtu.be/D2XX4TMC_SY?...

Yep. We have to shine an even brighter light on the lunacy.

🎵When the goon hits your eye With a big racist lie, that's a moron🎵

Anyone who thought Trump wasn’t going to bomb people on Christmas Day hasn’t been paying attention.

Flashback post and yep, still our favorite.

Noem's strategy during his hearing is to ceaselessly talk over Democratic questions she doesn't like so she doesn't have to answer them

Please read

Trump talking Epstein so much is called by prosecutors “consciousness of guilt”

New in PN: Trumpers are *still* scheming to overturn the 2020 election "Trump’s conspiracy theories, threats, & endless lawsuits aren’t simply about proving non-existent fraud in 2020. They’re part of an *actual* sprawling plan to sow doubt in future elections — specifically, ones Republicans lose"

"Donald Trump calls himself the “Peace President.” But this week, as he outlined his plans to capture Greenland and hijack Venezuelan oil, his real agenda became obvious. It’s not peace. It’s extortion, conquest, and theft." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

🤷🏼 🎅

NASHVILLE councilwoman Zulfat Suara, who has family in Nigeria, posts the 🇺🇸 strikes there were a “joint operation”, the violence there has targeted “multiple faiths”, and (Trump) portraying it as an effort to “save Christians” is inaccurate. Her post: www.instagram.com/p/DSusjZjkTQ...

What is Jim Jordan afraid of?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I filmed the @SDNY press conference when #Epstein was arrested. Geoffrey Berman stated exactly what was confiscated by the FBI when they raided Epstein’s mansion. Tapes, hard drives, 1700 photos on the walls. They fired Berman not long after www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZHc...

"any criticism of the election can lead to a minimum sentence of three years in prison, and even the death penalty" Another reminder that elections are not the same thing as democracy www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

From what I can gather, he’s actually hemorrhaging support, but the thing is that people are very rarely going to admit they got conned - at least in public. I don’t think he’s got a whole lot of non-mindless MAGA left at this point.

Having a normal Christmas morning

Bombing on Christmas. Yeah that tracks for the dude who gave himself a madeup Fifa Peace Prize.

Guardian: In a scathing opinion, fed dist judge Mary McElroy (RI) blocked Trump’s order that cut Homeland national security funding to the states that do not comply with Miller’s immigration policies. “To hold funding hostage solely upon Defendants’ political whims is unconscionable… and illegal.”

We're all kind of immune to his insanity, at this point, but he seems particularly unhinged this past day.

Sigh...
