Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…

Like the Kremlin does.

"Her family has now been told she has been deported, despite US District Judge Brendan Hurson ruling Thursday that she could not be deported pending a hearing...attorneys said Monday that they have...confirm[ed] with the hospital she was born in Maryland." https://bit.ly/3MMdJvz

Judge Boasberg is once again reaffirming that Trump did not have the authority to send immigrants to CECOT to be tortured and violated due process rights. He is also ruling the gov't must have a plan to give these migrants due process by Jan 5th. www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-o...

Sean Duffy says he now has veto power over appropriations passed by Congress and signed into law. He is the dictator over infrastructure funds. If you do something he doesn’t like, you lose the funds passed by Congress. bsky.app/profile/atru...

1 - the exec branch can't decline to spend $ Congress appropriated 2- the fed govt can't use federal $ to extort states over policy/political disagreements 3-the fed govt can't use federal $ to impose conditions unrelated to the funding program 4-the fed govt can't use federal $ to coerce states

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

EXCLUSIVE: Four House Republicans, including Colorado Rep. Jeff Hurd, joined Democrats to challenge the Trump administration’s dismantling of the nation’s leading weather and climate research institution.

Khanna on the House holding Pam Bondi in contempt: "It's coming from Republicans too. If it was just me out there or Robert Garcia, it would be seen as 'this is just a Democratic thing.' This is gonna be Thomas Massie leading it. There are a few Republicans who are on board with it."

That leaking sound you hear is Marco Rubio's soul leaving his body for the umpteenth time

As I explained in my newsletter, this is because Trump's team has reinvented millennia of math to invert what "percentage of change" means. www.howtoreadthisch.art/its-beginnin...

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

Looks like this was shared on GlobalTV in Canada and someone recorded it and sent it to multiple groups for wide distribution. Love it!!

“The last several days of the TP USA event featured news of an eye-opening Manhattan Institute focus group of Gen Z Nashville-area conservatives reluctant to offer any negative reaction toward Hitler and sharing antisemitic stereotypes about Jews.” jewishinsider.com/2025/12/gen-...

Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

Bari Weiss spiked the CECOT story because she wanted to have Stephen Miller included and demanded to control the language 60 Minutes used to describe the men who were brutally tortured after being sent to El Salvador without due process.

New from MS NOW: Kash Patel is being driven around in specially armored BMWs that the FBI bought at his request. Patel earlier this year pressed the FBI to purchase a new, more modern FBI jet for his use, but the proposal was abandoned over cost estimates. www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

💰Trump’s wealth increased by about $2.5B since his reelection, to $6.9B 💰 Eric’s increased 10x, to $400M. 💰 Don Jr.’s 6x, to $300M. 💰 Barron, a college sophomore, is worth $150M.

The corruption is absolutely staggering. One big money donor after another receiving direct benefits in return. Trump didn’t drain any swamps, he created a giant sewer to roll around in daily. Great reporting. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

"'If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient,' Ms. Alfonsi wrote." {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

If you think switching which corporate owned legacy media outlet you consume is the solution, you don't really understand how deep the problem is. It's not just ABS, CBS, WaPo or the LA Times. It's the system in which they work. The only solution is to support pro-democracy independent media.

I don’t think Grynbaum is on here but someone please correct me if I’m wrong. Here’s his story for the Times: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

"The president spent the last few months talking about the past. Now all they can do is talk about the future. What aren't they talking about? What's happening right now." ...Sometimes you learn the most by noticing what politicians don't say.

He isn’t right often, but Rand Paul is right about Venezuela policy.

Oh, look there: an editorial-interference canary.

Skilled-worker visa holders who traveled back to India this month to renew their US work permits are now stranded far from home after their appointments were abruptly canceled by U.S. consular offices and rescheduled for months later.

You should, however, apologize for being JD Vance

Nothing to see here, just a right wing hyper-nationalist government going to their party’s youth event sponsored by a group with a martyred leader they’ve pledged to avenge, recruiting people to join their masked police force devoted to removing auslanders from ze homeland.

It’s impossible to overstate what a big deal this is for this legendary Kentucky brand. The last time Jim Beam closed down like this was during Prohibition. Trump’s tariffs & fight with Canada are surely to blame. www.kentucky.com/news/busines...

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated. Read more: www.theverge.com/health/66136...

Hotez: "They picked Denmark because they administer the fewest vaccines of any Western country... depriving Americans of vaccines for meningitis and rotavirus which are major causes of morbidity and mortality of America’s children. They’ve not done their epidemiological homework."

The incompetence is funny right up until you remember they're covering up for pedophiles and sex traffickers

This, too, is outrageous -- firing an immigration judge because he granted asylum to six people. Trump's folks have made clear they want "deportation judges." Just rejecting any semblance of due process. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“There has been erosion of trust in science & public health & medicine,” vaccine & infectious disease expert @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social said in response to the Trump administration’s cuts to vaccine and medical research. “It’s a terrible tragedy,” said Dr. Francis Collins, former NIH director.

“This is just a greatest hits of his favorite lies... So he hasn't stopped inflation... That's 2.7%... He hasn't caused grocery prices to fall... Grocery prices are rising 2.5% to 3% as everyone at home knows...” And don't get me started on drug prices falling 400%.

BREAKING: At least 16 files disappeared from the Justice Department’s public webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein — including a photograph showing Trump — less than a day after they were posted, with no explanation from the government and no notice to the public.

The handiwork of a guilty man and his criminal henchmen who thumb their nose at the law, Justice, Congress and the American people.

"One of the big reasons why a lot of us grew up as conservatives is we were afraid that if you give too much power to the government, someone bad could come in and use it for their own personal gratification and empowerment," George Conway says. "And here we are. This is exactly it."

Whipple: Wiles thought she was talking to someone who would give her a fair shake. And I did give her a fair shake. But the problem is, when you’re in that bubble, you wouldn’t recognize fair treatment when you see it—because crazy is crazy when you’re in that bubble.

Judge Mark Wolf on why he resigned: What we have now under President Trump is utterly inconsistent with equal justice under law. I watched, virtually day after day, his direction to the DOJ to prosecute his perceived political enemies and to insulate his friends, his family….

The EPSTEIN Files are a much quicker read than I expected.

Much reporting re DOJ’s omissions and redactions…but whose decisions were they? Surely they went up the line to Blanche and Bondi? Did they overrule career staff? Did they consult with the White House? With Trump? And if it’s a unitary executive, aren’t they all Trump’s decisions, redactions, etc?
