🚨BREAKING: Missourians filed a lawsuit Tuesday asking a court to stop the state from using its new congressional map until voters have the chance to approve or reject the measure in a referendum. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Bonta: But the order today—could not have been more favorable for the states… It was a complete rejection—a slapdown—a complete failure to accept any of the arguments from the Trump administration, because those arguments are not acceptable.

Mockler: He said he grabbed women because they let him do it. You heard that clip, right? Abuse of power dynamics. Now that he's in office, he's abusing these same power dynamics to cover up the files, delay the releases, redact.

Not surprising but important for Rep. McIver’s defense.

Daily Izzy: Over 130 People Have Been Kidnapped in the Last 10 Days before Christmas Eve

I am staying on offense.

Every single survivor deserves justice, including Maria Farmer. We are asking the DOJ Inspector General to investigate why the FBI failed to stop Epstein when his crimes were first reported. We demand answers.

When government is actually organized crime, war becomes the tool of thieves. The west should approach it as such. From the Kyiv Independent

I'd rather drink goat's blood.

Well this is a beautiful edition

No matter what you think of Trump’s connection to Epstein’s child sex trafficking, it‘s an indisputable fact that the Trump regime has made a mess out of the release of the Epstein files and has broken the law in multiple ways.

Yes. That’s why I say “don’t stop commenting” on SCOTUS decisions and practices. It matters.

This is still a Jasmine Crockett appreciation account, and if you don't like it, the door is that way. I'd love to see the perfect politician or political candidate if you can show me one because they all need to improve in several areas. share.newsbreak.com/ggbwjidv

Trump is continuing his assault on American diplomacy. He is purging talent and expertise to make it easier to ram through his failed and destructive foreign policy agenda. Leaving 29 Ambassadorships empty for the sake of gutting expertise is peak self-sabotage.

We’re releasing guidance on new nation-leading ghost gun laws coming into effect January 1st. I was proud to sponsor this ghost gun legislation this year to demand transparency from sellers of products used to manufacture ghost guns and strengthen accountability and victims' access to justice.

FYI: California is turning winter season rain into future water supply 💧 As storms return, state and local agencies are proactively capturing and storing as much water as possible now — strengthening supplies for dry summers, future droughts, and a more extreme climate.

Trump is wrong (as usual) . . . Venezuela’s natural resources never belonged to the United States. While there have been charges of expropriation, which have been arbitrated in an international tribunal, there is no basis for arguing that Venezuela’s oil was stolen from the United States.

Kristi Noem forced DHS to spend $200M on two new private jets. Then, Kash ordered the FBI to purchase a new Beamer—all while he continues to evade questions about whether he is reimbursing the taxpayers for his $62M joyrides. Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse.

From Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker:

Today, Americans can breathe a huge sigh of relief. SCOTUS rejected the Trump Admin’s unprecedented invocation of a little used statute to justify the limitless deployment of National Guard troops on American soil. We look forward to asking the lower courts to reach the same result in CA's case.

California is prepared to capture and store as much water as possible this winter, ahead of seasonal rain. We’re preparing for future dry months and droughts while protecting our water supply for communities, farms, and ecosystems across the state.

2025 was a hard year, but we’ve accomplished a lot that’s worth celebrating. So I’m recapping my highlights from the year (in no particular order), starting with a moment that gets me every time. Being sworn in as your representative is an honor I’ll never take for granted.

“In April, Naloxone became available in the retail market at almost half price in stores. CalRx will offer CalRx-branded OTC naloxone HCL nasal spray for only $19, beginning the new year.”

Wow. Genuinely shocked, and a hugely consequential decision. Importantly, this is a case where @martylederman.bsky.social's amicus brief appears to have made a MAJOR impact. Before he wrote it, courts were sidestepping the "regular forces" issue entirely. And that's what the Trump admin lost on.

The new documents that Congress has forced the Justice Department to release make one thing clear: We are witnessing a criminal White House cover-up.

HUNTER: “Trump won’t release the files? Why? Out of the kindness of his heart for others? Have you ever known Trump to act out of anything but his own self-interest?” Hunter Biden to conservative podcaster @ShawnRyan762 re: the #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

Hunter Biden: "Trump is giving his supporters a permission structure. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's saying Rob Reiner died violently because he opposed me - stay out of my way, or this is what happens."

69 isn’t too late to make your childhood dreams come true. This is just a warm up. Wait until you see the 70 year old version next Christmas!

Am I even a congresswoman from LA if my end-of-year video isn’t a parody of The Studio? 2025 was a crazy—and busy—year! Here’s what we got done.

NEW: While Trump and the fed govt cut support for vets and vulnerable communities, CA delivers results Through Prop 1, @governor.ca.gov announced 5 new Homekey+ projects creating 267 permanent supportive homes statewide — advancing CA’s strategy to tackle homelessness, mental health, and addiction

As governor, I’ll build more housing and give the very people who keep us safe, teach our kids, and save lives a real shot at owning a home in the communities they serve.
