No American president has ever named ships or institutions after himself—until now. Trump’s gold-plated presidency isn’t about strength. It’s about fear, ego, and unmistakable ignorance. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

“Millions and millions of people stood up and said: ‘No, this is not acceptable,’” he said. “We won, the president lost and now I’m back on the air every night giving the most powerful politician on earth a right and richly deserved bollocking.” www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/kim...

Thank you, Madam Ambassadors, for strengthening our alliances and partnerships across the Pacific. 🇵🇭 🇫🇯 🇹🇴 🇰🇮 🇳🇷 🇹🇻 🇫🇲 🇵🇬 🇸🇧 🇻🇺 🇺🇸

Zelensky says Russia is bypassing Ukrainian air defense with help from Belarus, both territorially and technically. He called it a serious issue and said tasks have been set for the next military staff meeting, with responses to follow.

New in PN: Trumpers are *still* scheming to overturn the 2020 election "Trump’s conspiracy theories, threats, & endless lawsuits aren’t simply about proving non-existent fraud in 2020. They’re part of an *actual* sprawling plan to sow doubt in future elections — specifically, ones Republicans lose"

“it was the French who were saying, completely rightly as it turned out, that the US would walk away from Europe and that Europeans needed to think and act in their own interest. And here we are, and the French government is incapable of taking the decisive action when the moment presents itself”

The White House posted a pic of Trump in the Oval Office, but he is actually at his West Palm Beach golf club right now

ICE showed up on private property without a Warrant and was sneaking around so when the one of the owners showed up he told them to get off the property and they did because they know that what they were doing was illegal and they're being watched by everyone now including Judges

“We live during a time where all the institutions and corporations I worked for—or leaders I looked up to—they caved or remained silent, so we are now finding hope in everyday people…” www.thebulwark.com/p/defiance-i...

As the president outlined his plans to capture Greenland and hijack Venezuelan oil, his real agenda became obvious. It’s extortion, conquest, and theft. Remember when he was the peace president? Today's Morning Shots, from @saletan.bsky.social and @cathyyoung63.bsky.social:

And now for the 12 Days of Grift-mas!

Russian media claims Moscow is still demanding the entire Donbas in talks with the US, including areas Russia failed to seize. Russian media say the Kremlin rejects discussion over Kramatorsk–Sloviansk, floats limited land swaps, and calls US coordination with Europe a sign of weakness.

Marco Rubio Is Not the Adult in the Room. He’s the Warmonger. Every single senator eagerly confirmed their former colleague to be secretary of state, but he is not at all the moderating force that they thought he’d be.

As ‘25 ends, I confess that I didn’t foresee the level of chaos, incompetence, & evil that Trump has imposed on us. But now independents have abandoned Trump & Democrats hate him. We at BlueSky are an important reason that he is so weak now. Keep it up! For my part, I’ll resist every damn day.

Merry Christmas Scum.

Jimmy Kimmel gave an 'Alternative Christmas Message' to the Brits, saying "tyranny is booming" in the U.S. He also addressed his suspension: "We won, the president lost, and now I'm back on the air every night, giving the most powerful politician on earth a right and richly deserved bollocking."

To Prez, this remains one of best community notes of all time. To prove we can’t be beaten this idiot tweets a picture of 5 of our warships, 4 of which had been sunk. The remaining is probably now out of action. I am surrounded by idiocy

Epstein survivor Marijke Chartouni reacts to Donald Trump's latest post about Jeffrey Epstein: "Every accusation is a confession. Cheers. 🥂"

Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis on Nick Fuentes running for president one day. Rogan: “He could probably win in a few years. Listen, he couldn’t have existed before, right? Ten, twenty years ago, couldn’t have existed. Now, super popular. What’s twenty years from now look like?”

The top is after Trump’s DOJ redactions below is without, I can almost figure out who they are protecting

Putin held a closed meeting for the Russian oligarchs where he stated that he demands the “entire Donbas region”, referring to the “Anchoridge agreements”. Remember, I guesstimated we will find out what was actually said there months and years from now..?

“Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas! President Donald J. Trump”

The President of the United States is very seriously mentally ill, and elected Republicans are so afraid of him that they won’t do or say anything about it.

❗️The US has declassified transcripts of conversations between Putin and former US President Bush in 2001, 2005, and 2008: part of them concern Ukraine, NATO, and how Russia sees its future relations with the West. ▪️ In 2001, Putin warned Bush that a possible entry of Ukraine into NATO

This idiot called me the R-word but believes in double-digit growth in the US in 12 to 18 months, and potentially triple-digit growth in 5 years. Some people still believe him

An interesting document in the Epstein files. Connect the dots and follow the money: Deutsche Bank, Epstein, sex trafficking, Russian money laundering. Russian blackmail used as leverage. RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA.

Official Dept of Energy feed again shows fossil fuel companies own this regime (after helping buy the election for Trump) Lying to kids and making light of the climate crisis is hilarious

Epstein emails prove that Trump is compromised by Russia

Perhaps I can help this research effort. 1. Origins of TDS lie in revulsion at a dangerous bigot coming to power. 2. Manifestations of TDS include joining others to resist Trump’s authoritarian efforts. 3. Effects of TDS are an enlivening of the intellect snd a sharpening of the conscience.

Another immigrant died in ICE custody, aka GEO Group private prison. Fouad Saeed Abdulkadir, a 46-year-old Eritrean imam and lawful permanent resident from Ohio, died while in U.S. ICE custody at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania on December 14, 2025.

“.. But many of them were conspicuously quiet on Tuesday, when the Justice Department released a batch of materials that contained hundreds of mentions of Mr. Trump.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

You guys caught this too, right? “Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.” Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.” 1/2

"Weiss is following a long-standing instinct to turn every Trump abuse into a debate, a generosity she does not afford targets on the left. ... In defending the administration’s actions as debatable, she has misrepresented just how heedless it has been with the Constitution."

Russia is failing hard in Ukraine. Almost four years into the full-scale invasion, it is still fighting for the Donbas and still hasn’t captured a single regional capital

Russia has joined US-backed efforts to mediate security arrangement between Israel and Syria. Moscow is advocating for the redeployment of Russian forces to southern Syria near the Israeli border, a presence Israel favors over growing Turkish influence. US views Russia’s involvement as “unavoidable”

ICE shoots into a moving vehicle in Baltimore, claiming that the vehicle was ramming other vehicles and attempting to run over the ICEstapo trash. (A local witness indicates there is at least some truth to the claim.) www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

The Heritage Foundation, authors of Project 2025, is falling apart as its most prominent staffers jump ship to a rival think tank run by Mike Pence. The reason is staffers are upset its president defended Nick Fuentes (an unapologetic anti-Semite and racist) and considered it to be a line crossed.

Trump is banning fact-checkers--yes, those people who do the research to learn the truth--from entering the USA. When Trump says he supports free speech, what he means is supports his right to lie. Those who tell the truth are therefore his natural enemies.

Chinese military simulated battles near Mexico, Cuba and Taiwan, CCTV report shows Rare insight revealed on state television in footage from a PLA wargaming event in central China where dozens of systems were demonstrated

Trump was elected over a year ago, promising to end the Ukraine war in 24h. Ukraine accepted his ceasefire proposals; Russia rejected them. Yet he pressures Ukraine more than Russia. Most Americans support Ukraine, yet he goes against their will because he is compromised

🇺🇸🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Today we had a very good conversation with President Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. I thank them for the constructive approach, the intensive work, and the kind words and Christmas greetings to the Ukrainian people. 1/2
