More of us than there are of them and just takes a few brave folks and now we got a stew going thank you for your service brave folks

Among other things, this “battleship” appears to have like four guns total

What was Kushner’s title and purpose at this meeting?

i came out to have a good time and honestly....

Durbin is also considering a blue ribbon commission, but doesn't want to be hasty on that one.

ooh a lawsuit, what a political genius

What we have here is a top editor spiking a story not because of serious editorial concerns, but because: 1) she is insecure and needs to assert authority; 2) she wants to drive serious journalists out of CBS; and 3) she craves attention, which is her oxygen. Especially number 3

A fantastic NYT report: Donors to Trump get pardons, jobs, & access - and benefited from regulatory decisions the Trump admin has made. SUPER timely as SCOTUS is about to kill agency independence & give POTUS more control over agencies (likely to donors' benefit) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Also lol that she thought 60 Minutes producers couldn’t find Stephen Miller’s cell phone number and that providing it would be a salve for ~whatever~

Interesting how two big unsigned Scott Boras clients with reportedly weak markets both have an Athletic piece insisting a big money team should sign them even if they have to overpay, on the same day

Green Card holder, living in the U.S. since she was 11, put in ICE detention for 5 months because she bounced a check decades ago.

Weiss confirms personally spiking the 60 Minutes CECOT broadcast.

how bad are things going when Dylan Byers won't even tell the story you want him to

This is what Bari Weiss et al think "censorship" actually is; when subordinates criticize their superiors. That has been the bedrock of the entire "cancel culture" discourse in elite media; rage at the idea that students, women, journalists, interns, etc might be able to speak against the boss.

I cannot emphasize enough that the White House has no authority to withhold funds from the Smithsonian. It can, however, try to persuade/threaten Congress to reduce future funding.

it’s 2045. the people take to the streets as Barron Trump’s grip on power begins to slip following his refusal to release the Mr. Beast files.

I don’t know how anyone can still talk about “the AI revolution” with a straight face. Reuters story about a railroad company that has sunk $300,000 into “developing AI products” and appears to have made…a chatbot that doesn’t work? archive.is/2025.12.17-0...

This is even more embarrassing than Jake Paul 😂

Pope Leo: “Creation is crying. But many powerful people do not hear this cry: the wealth of the earth is in the hands of a few, very few, increasingly concentrated – unjustly – in the hands of those who often do not want to hear the groaning of the earth and the poor.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Currently at the funeral for the penny, happening at the Lincoln Memorial:

The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

If you are looking for a weekend read, I hope you will consider my @talkingpointsmemo.com series on the realities of mass deportation and the emerging Undocumented Underground that is fighting back. talkingpointsmemo.com/undocumented...

Man I remember Malheur so well. Such a clear signal of what was to come. Some of the most privileged & entitled white men in the f'ing world engaging in open lawlessness in the name of their own imagined victimhood ... ... and getting away with it. That's the true American template.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

This one feels like it might make the Trump chapter of a history book

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

Pam, darling, you missed a spot.

The FBI basically dropped everything to review the Epstein files -- nine months ago. And this is what we're getting? bsky.app/profile/noah...

The Justice Department has begun making *some* of its Epstein files publicly available -- not all, despite being required by law to do so today -- and its searchable database is a bust:

I know it’s not surprising, but Jesus Christ. What a corrupt administration from top to bottom.

Five years ago today, Trump summoned a mob to Washington, DC for a “protest” on Jan. 6, 2021, tweeting: “Be there, will be wild!” Rightwing extremists began planning for violence almost immediately. www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

My incredible wife @pollymosendz.bsky.social’s mom, a fiber artist from Ukraine, runs a small business making handmade textiles and jewelry. She makes lovely things, and if you’re still in need of gifts, I hope you’ll check out the shop. www.etsy.com/shop/Silkand...

“they” is a person here and should face whatever law we can bring to bear, civil or criminal.

“That’s Holocaust shit. Come on.” 👑

They’re trying to do reparations for white people.

A painful but very moving tribute to an extraordinary woman. May her memory be a blessing.

I wish a single journalist or leader would reach out to me I have the scientific expertise, lived experience of a trans person, and am literally a science communicator for my career I'm willing to explain this even though I know it will decrease my personal safety!! bsky.app/profile/jeym...

Best looking building in San Diego was built by the New Deal - FDR attended the grand opening:

darkly appropriate that this essentially all goes back to a lack of appropriate compliance practices at Bear Stearns www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/m...

The Undocumented Underground is in many ways the most robust and serious resistance movement I have seen in the Trump era. It has legal, political, and protest components. It is gaining steam all over NYC and elsewhere. talkingpointsmemo.com/undocumented...

not releasing it will, in itself, also detract from their winning streak and make the inevitable leak of the text more of a news event.

May the odds be ever in your favor

This is Attorney General Pam Bondi’s ethics pledge. She was a lobbyist for Ballard — the same firm hired to lobby for both Paramount AND Netflix. But Trump’s Justice Department said Bondi will oversee the Warner Bros. merger. It reeks of corruption. Bondi must recuse herself.

Sarah McBride rarely centers her identity as a trans woman. Republicans do that for her. So when she steps to the microphone and talks about "21 years of unwavering homesickness," it means something. @mcbride.house.gov www.readtpa.com/p/watch-rep-...

I'm sorry, Bari, did you say your new show is sponsored by BOFA?

Ketamine is a hell of a drug
