The GOP-controlled House passed a bill that would block Medicaid funds from being used for gender identity care to minors.

You get what you voted for, Trumpists.

A hotel by Kennedy Airport has been transformed into affordable housing in the first hotel-to-housing conversion of its kind in New York City. Here’s a look inside. trib.al/pmaQpaR

This is a repugnant verdict, which is a legal term not a moral judgment: it means the verdict contradicts itself and therefore cannot stand. they acquitted her on the misdemeanor concealment charge and convicted her of felony obstruction. But she could only be guilty of obstruction if she was also

After firing 100+ immigration judges and revoking protected status from legal immigrants, the Trump regime now wants to strip citizenship from hundreds of naturalized Americans every month. Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

longstanding theory on this is that people who know the applicant that they don't want to hire has racial resentment offer "wish i could've hired you, but they made me hire a black woman instead!" as a let-them-down-easy cope rather than admit to them that they just didn't want to hire them.

A Chicago story — a 23-year-old U.S. citizen on his way home from the gym who ended up handcuffed by immigration agents — was in my report yesterday on 100 days of Kavanaugh stops: www.lawdork.com/p/100-days-o...

For those asking about sentencing, the 1505 charge carries a 5-year maximum, but Judge Dugan's guideline sentence will be much lower, because she's a first-time offender & there are mitigating factors. And of course, there will be an appeal before the conviction becomes final.

Shouting, Ranting, Insulting: Trump’s Uninhibited Second Term www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose

The Kennedy Center, the Department of Defense & the US Institute of Peace can only be renamed by acts of Congress. Their names have NOT been changed. Trump's playing a sad sad but ultimately meaningless game. Erasing his shallow imprint on DC at the end of his term will be celebrated in the streets.

Today, French lawmakers unanimously approved a bill exonerating women punished for abortion before it was legalized in 1975. This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.

Anybody going to tell them or do they have lawyers who don’t follow the law?

The naming of the John F Kennedy Center is law. The board doesn’t have the power to change the name

And this👇🏾

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”… BULLSHIT. @repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition. This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

This👇🏾

The Kennedy Center was given its name by an act of Congress after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Pretty sure its current board, which includes revered fine arts dignitaries like Laura Ingraham, Pamela Jo Bondi, Maria Bartiromo, and Lee Greenwood, can't undo that law.

Renaming the Kennedy Center, our national fine arts center, after such a coarse, lowbrow, and ignorant buffoon is America at its very stupidest.

Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Cardinal Dolan. Too early for a celebratory drink?

Cardinal Timothy Dolan has earned a reputation as an eager Trump supporter, with prayer appearances at both of the president’s inaugurations.

Great piece about my dear friend Melissa Hortman. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Haha!! @joshgerstein.bsky.social caught Lindsey Halligan trying to bury proof of her own incompetence. Honestly, this lady should just avoid doing anything that might involve a court filing bc she has literally never gotten it right the first try.

Scapegoating trans people - whipping up hatred in a way that will put innocent lives in danger - all in an effort to distract and deflect attention from his own ties to a minors sex trafficking ring. What could be more abhorrent? www.hrc.org/press-releas...

Sincerely: Is the claim actually that white men are facing systemic discrimination from white men? What are we doing here? It’s frustrating that really “smart” people succumb again and again to these racial propaganda campaigns. Anti-1619, anti-CRT, anti-woke, now rampant anti-white racism hysteria.

So Pope Leo had to accept Dolan's resignation. Had things been different Dolan probably wouldn't have even been Cardinal this long if Pope Francis had not passed away.

Bishop Ronald Hicks, the current bishop of Joliet, Illinois, replaces the retiring Cardinal Timothy Dolan as archbishop of New York.

Pope Leo replacing Cardinal Timothy Dolan with a Spanish-speaking missionary to El Salvador from Chicago during Christmas week is enough paybacks for those Al Smith dinners for me.

It's a shell game. Trump is taking money from soldiers' housing subsidies to "give" them $1,776 "warrior dividend" checks.

Apple Confirms iPhone Decision—You Must Upgrade iOS 18 To iOS 26.2 Now

When people walk into Newark Penn Station, they should know the name of the man whose work helped keep it moving. That’s why, on his heavenly birthday, I introduced a bill to name it after Rep. Donald Payne, Jr.
