A president who treats foreign policy as a personal instrument of power invites instability, not security.

I’ve come to loathe the NY Times Square ball drop on NYE. A bunch of naive people subjecting themselves to a masochistic-like cattle call of awful conditions for the false spectacle of TV optics. Real New Yorkers don’t even go. They instead have indoor gatherings, or attend by-invitation soirées.

Earlier this year, French and EU authorities began investigating Elon Musk and X over concerns of election interference. The investigation is ongoing, and if corroborated France could seize Elon's assets and jail him. This is now one of my top hopes for the New Year… Viva la France! 🇫🇷

May he suffer the same humiliation that he did with the failed attempt to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by orders of magnitude. Voters will go even harder against the GOP in November. No amount of rigging, gerrymandering or bankrolling works if enough of the electorate is pissed off at you.

Why would anyone go to Times Square to watch the ball drop on New Year’s Eve when they can watch the Jack Smith deposition drop online from the comfort of their own home?

Fuck the UK!

When I flew to and from Japan for business trips, I always flew JAL. Their fleet maintains the original 8-abreast on the 787; 9 on the 777. I avoided US carriers like the plague, especially American because they cram 10 abreast in their 777s and 9 in the 787 on top of shit service. Hell on wings.

Don’t just drop it off. Go in and get your ballot hand stamped by the postal clerk. They will do that if you only ask.

Ahem

Our 14 year old Land Rover LR4 family car would wipe the floor with that Musk road roach. Never once worried about flipping over with the Terrain Response System. It handled conditions exactly like in the photo on back roads and mountainous areas of Arizona and New Mexico like a champ.

The Christmas Eve jazz concert at the Kennedy Center has been canceled. The show’s host, musician Chuck Redd, said, “When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert.”

"On my phone, I am watching myself in real time as the camera records and livestreams me—without any password or login—to the open internet. I wander into the intersection, stare at the camera and wave." Anyone can download video archives, mess with settings, or run diagnostics. #Flock #Pinks

Someone is going to leak it as a fuck you to Bari Weiss, and I’ve got the popcorn ready. The Trump regime is shitting bricks over this segment, because it contains first hand accounts that establish probable cause for 18 USC 242 violations. It will also draw intense scrutiny from the ICC.

Not only is Bari a truly malignant force wrecking CBS News in a matter of days; she is also comically inept. This crass act of censorship has given the CECOT program far more publicity than CBS just running the segment would have achieved. She is a straight up clown.

The real economic numbers, not the lies provided by Hair Furor and its peons.

The Kennedy Center’s vice president of public relations said the renaming vote was unanimous. Yet Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), an ex officio member of the board, said she was “muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition.” https://wapo.st/4schjzl

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally. Just like it’s still the department of defense

10 second finance lesson: Cutting interest rates during a period of high inflation increases inflation.

Articles of impeachment have officially been filed against deranged chaos agent RFK Jr and drunkard rapist fox host war criminal Pete Hegseth. They should be filed against the entire MAGA regime seeing as all of them are dangerous, treasonous and unqualified.

Only the guilty AF threaten the International Criminal Court.

BREAKING: San Diego City Council votes 6-3 on Item 331 “Surveillance Use Policies To Remain in Effect Under The TRUST Ordinance”. The city will keep its Flock ALPR cameras active. The slide into the dystopian surveillance state and further evisceration of the Fourth Amendment continues.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

America, you are in a world of trouble!!! Your president is deranged, his sycophants support it and the party won't oppose him. Even though they know they should. As difficult as it must be to live through, watching from the outside is like watching a car crash unfold. #FuckKristiNoem #FuckICE

Critical thinking skills left most humans once the internet became mainstream. There's a reason why computers were once only for us geeks & nerds. Now in the hands of the dudebros & karens... 😬

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

For every surveillance state to function, there must be a critical mass of people who willingly act as snitches to further the regime's ideology. I lived through this firsthand, money isn't the motivating factor for these people, it's the satisfaction of seeing people they hate suffer

I’ll gladly volunteer for the demolition crew to take all of this tacky shit down and toss it into the dumpster barge bound for its final resting place — the Atlantic Ocean.

IT’S OFFICIAL, Rep. Adelita Grijalva just became the 218th signer on the Epstein discharge petition. The magic number’s been hit. The House must now bring it to the floor.

A dramatic reading of the names of the corporations and fat cats who enabled Trump's demolition of the East Wing by donating millions of dollars to this ballroom project, a monument to Trump's ego. And they all have big financial interests that can be affected by the Trump administration.

It’s worth noting that this government shutdown wouldn’t be possible under a Westminster-style parliamentary system. In points like these, we really could use the ability to call a snap election. Because these fucking Republicans want to kill us all.

Term limits, anyone? JFC.

Elon Thiel and Bannon in the Epstein files... shocker.

What a chickenshit MAGA Mike is.

European Parliament refuses right wing request for moment of silence for hatemonger Charlie Kirk 👏🏼👏🏼💙💙👇🏼 www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/world/3...

I ♥️ NY

I’ll be dancing a jig on my MAGA infested street.

#ProudBlue Ladies & gentleman, I present a MAGA grandma in the wild. I truly have no words. Glad this is not my Mom or Grandma. Embarrassing Link to video: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BNFCon/

Absolutely boycott the Kennedy Center Honors

Item:In Denmark, empathy has been a mandatory school subject since 1993, where students aged 6 to 16 learn to understand and respect the feelings of others through structured classes. Excuse me while I move to Denmark.

Remember when they accused Jack Smith, Biden, et al. of "lawfare"? Every accusation is a confession.

People who demean others with ad hominem attacks know they're factually wrong. They lack the intellectual ability to form a cogent argument. Moreover, it's also very often a sign they have committed wrongs and they know it – it's a form of displaced aggression. See also: Candace Owens

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, does not know what Habeas Corpus is. Dwell on this fact.

Rümeysa Öztürk has finally been ordered released. She has been unlawfully detained for more than six weeks in an ICE facility in Louisiana, more than 1,500 miles away from Somerville. This is a victory for Rümeysa, for justice, and for our democracy.

I can’t think of a precedent for this! We live in interesting times and I’m flying to El Salvador tonight to report on the senator’s mission and the effort to return Garcia to the United States. Watch this space
