Bondi Beach shooting: Australian officials say the 15 people killed in the antisemitic attack range from 10 to 87 years old, and the two shooters were father and son.

Trump on the shooting at Brown University: “Things can happen”

It is creepy, but likely, that Trump is reticent to denounce the murders with too much vehemence, out of concern the killer might turn out be among his supporters.

"He estimates there were at least 30 federal agents present who took shifts rotating in and out of cars to stay warm." It was too cold for the masked agents to stay out there all that time. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

This lawless abuse needs to stop. That includes Congress demanding the end to masked agents. Every Republican is complicit.

Hoping someone does some analysis on the dangers of "big damage" while the military forces previously patrolling the ME are off the shore of Venezuela right now. So that when shit blows up we can point to how predictable that was.

Chancellor Merz is right: Europe can no longer depend on America. But he's wrong to say that America is pursuing its own interests. Trump is pursuing his deranged and corrupt interests, not ours.

Sen. Jack Reed: "This is really outrageous. Mark Kelly is a veteran, he's fought in combat, he's an astronaut. And even was simply repeated what the law is. If a US senator can't do that, then this country is in profound difficulty."

Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

This is getting lost: For weeks Trump officials had the option to remove Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica, but refused to do so. Instead they kept trying to send him somewhere more dangerous. Costa Rica wasn't cruel and dehumanizing enough. This is deeply sick conduct. newrepublic.com/article/2043...

the entire thing is a spectacle based on a professional provacateur who comically gut put in charge of CBS news interviewing the bereaved wife of a far right political rabble rouser. No big mystery why adverts are squeamish. anyone w a media background says no shit

lol.

Major advertisers appeared to sit out a new CBS News town hall telecast Saturday, moderated by Bari Weiss and featuring an interview with Erika Kirk. Lack of Madison Avenue support could challenge the viability of the format, which Weiss wants to expand variety.com/2025/tv/news...

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to fundamentally transform legislative power.” The current electoral climate presents the best chance in years for Democrats to consolidate power in blue states and loosen Republicans’ grip on power in solidly red states like South Carolina and Missouri.

Deluzio: Even Pam Bondi in a legal briefing was saying the basic thing about what kinds of orders the military must follow, which is that they always have to follow lawful orders, and no one can force the military to follow illegal ones...

What @krystalball.bsky.social said 👇🏽 Pathetic, bullying lies from the White House

Haaland: Affordability is real. We have a president downplaying the suffering that people are experiencing in our country. He is not listening. He’s in a bubble, and you can look at him and see that he’s never had to worry about missing a meal himself.

A shooter on Brown University’s campus killed two people and injured eight others on Saturday evening, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley told reporters during a press conference at about 6:40 p.m. ET.

Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked President Donald Trump if U.S. actions against Venezuela are more than just about drugs.

When does FIFA take back Trump’s fake “peace prize”?

This is what Trump is posting while an active shooter is on the loose

this is crazy: "ICE agents descended on one construction site in subzero temperatures, leading to a standoff with protesters and workers. One man was taken to hospital for exposure. The other waited out the siege and was taken to safety after the agents left." www.startribune.com/ice-agents-v...

If Trump had just left the oil tanker alone, he could have continued to claim at least with a fig leaf of credibility that we had no choice but to blow up the boats he isn't seizing

‘All We Can Do Right Now Is Pray.’ President Donald Trump briefly met with reporters as he returned to the White House after the Army-Navy football game and said he had been “fully briefed” on the shooting at Brown University.

25 posts in 3 days from CBS featuring Bari Weiss with Erika Kirk. Or maybe Erika Kirk with Bari Weiss - it’s hard to tell who was supposed to be the one featured in all this.

"A second agent then joins them and appears to help restrain him, who can be heard repeating 'I’m a citizen' and screaming. Several people then come into the hallway from outside and begin filming the interaction and whistling before the agents pull him outside..." www.cnn.com/2025/12/13/u...

Maybe someone could ask the president not to post the all-clear on mass shootings before the suspect is in custody.

I feel like Indiana abandoning Trump is a tipping point. And it’s not because they didn’t want a new map. It’s because he shook them down.

Between Indiana and MTG, I definitely think something is legitimately fracturing inside MAGA.

We are not as bloodthirsty as Stephen Miller wants us to be. French argues that Stephen Miller is miscalculating, and that it’s possible to awaken the country’s sleeping conscience. It may already be happening. French thinks we are already seeing a “vibe shift.” substack.com/profile/4298...
