1/2 🌅Personal Share: #Sobriety— The Unmerited #Gift For a long time, I couldn’t make it 24 hours. My 11 years of #recovery haven’t been a straight line. I’ve relapsed after 3 years, after 1 year… I’ve had stretches where I felt completely hopeless—fighting both #addiction and clinical #depression.

Oh man. The 360° Oval Office view is even more obnoxious than I previously thought. The bright side: he’s out of wall space, so the damage should be complete.

Trump voters: the cost of living is the worst it’s ever been. Also Trump voters: still riding with the guy whose entire economic plan is tariffs, and chaos. 📌 You don’t get to complain about the fire while actively throwing gasoline on it.

Once we get them away from reach of the nukes, the good governments of the world will see them at The Hague for their crimes against humanity! If there’s any decency left in the world…

Hallelujah!

When you’re chronically ill, the holidays hit different. They’re exhausting, isolating and lonely. It’s important to set and hold boundaries. Make your own traditions and find ways to cultivate joy. Here’s to another Chronic Illness Christmas: www.disabledginger.com/p/another-ch...

Merry dementia from Trump

CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss sent a memo to CBS News employees today stating: “No amount of outrage—whether from activist organizations or the White House—will derail us. We are not out to score points with one side of the political spectrum or to win followers on social media.”

How bad was this? The White House asked Bari Weiss to spike the show in order to drum up interest

JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse.

My heart... 🥹 Inclusion matters ❤️❤️❤️ (For those wondering, Santa is signing in BSL - British Sign Language - and asks the sweet angel girl about her list, and different things she might like. Then he tells her that if she's a good girl, Santa will bring her a present✨） 🔊 christmas love

Kelly: For any leader to basically say, “Shut up. You’re not allowed to ask questions,” I don’t know who Hegseth worked for when he served as a junior officer in the National Guard, but it appears to me they were not very good role models of leadership—because this guy has no idea what he’s doing.

Reposting this because the crimes against humanity by this fascist regime are mounting up on the daily! If you agree like many others, please repost as well!

The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 277. The latest on the new Epstein files drop, and everything else that happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Little kid just wants to hear about Santa and Trump wants to talk about himself again. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Hey new followers! I'm Jack. I write about religion and politics for @rns.org. I also wrote a book, American Prophets, which is about the modern religious left. If you've tips or things you'd wanna leak me, my Signal is in my bio! Also, you can grab my book here: www.amazon.com/American-Pro...

Warning about this story: it’s a *bit* intense — because the subject matter, well, just is.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel. "Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

Trump: I am fine. You sound beautiful and cute. How old are you? Caller: I am eight

This is one of our favorites!

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's. Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1. Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

The DOJ is lying when it says they *just now* received Epstein files from the Southern District of New York.

I’m in total agreement with Mark Hamill!

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE EPSTEIN FILES Santa grabbed his lapels, a right angry old elf ’cuz he’d already checked that list twice by himself. He'd flipped through the guest lists & flight logs; each pic All those good times w/Jeff had been seen by St Nick. johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/twas-the-n...

I am telling you that a large part of their dysfunction is that several Trump officials imagine themselves, constantly, as being in a social media sizzle reel where they display status and dominance over others. Their online personas are driving their actual behavior.

DOJ files released today show prosecutors in 2019 discussing 10 Epstein co-conspirators, interviews with 25 victims, and subpoenas across multiple states. Yet FBI Director Kash Patel swore under oath there was “no credible information” Epstein trafficked victims to others. WTF?

Just got this in email; Trump says if I want my "Tariff Check" I need to click on WinRed and give him money. Isn't this how the Nigerian Prince scams work? Just asking... Check it out here: secure.winred.com/never-surren...

The FBI was supposed to deliver all the Epstein files to @AGPamBondi's desk by 8 AM on Feb. 28, 2025. That's almost ten months ago. This seems like something @JusticeOIG would need to dig into www.justice.gov/ag/media/139...

The AG is *supposed* to be the people’s lawyer, not the president’s. This is outrageous. It also indicates Trump feels that he needs protection from Epstein file disclosures.

A million pages is conservatively 400 bankers boxes.

Facts, Facts and more Facts!

Brilliant work by the trump regime on Christmas Eve…

NEW: A federal agent has fired shots in Baltimore, and two people have been taken to the hospital. www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair." One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

The playbook that showers the rich, spikes the debt, then demands you sacrifice Social Security and healthcare… hartmannreport.com/p/santa-clau...

ICE is Trumps version of the SS. You can clearly see that Trump copy Hitlers actions but in a compressed timeframe - as Trump do not have long enough left in this world to see his hero’s programs trough as it would take decades.

I looked it up. An "ex-officio" is someone who holds a position because of their status. She's a current member of the board.

"Having offered up their not-inconsiderable reputations & intellectual firepower, these once-respected thinkers realized too late that they were never steering the ship. The goal was always a personalist regime that wrecked the economy for the benefit of a few oligarchs. You love to see it… sort of"

Why do all official U.S. government social media posts now sound like they were written by bratty 7th-graders trying to mimic Jim Jordan?
