Putin’s alleged “secret daughter” has been identified and confronted in Paris. The encounter raises new questions about the lives of Russia’s elite abroad while the Kremlin wages a brutal war against Ukraine.

Via Jennifer Shutt: The U.S. Senate will vote next week on a Democratic bill to extend enhanced tax credits for three years for people who purchase their health insurance from the Affordable Care Act marketplace, though the plan seems unlikely to get the bipartisan support needed to advance.

JUST IN: The Trump administration responds to the bid to dismiss the case challenging Operation Midway Blitz in front of Judge Ellis. It says plaintiffs seek to "throw in the towel" with "transparent procedural gamesmanship," and insists a dismissal with prejudice prevents future claims.

A fun look back on the year in music hits different when it’s paired with propaganda for Trump’s deportation machine. Remember: don't use Spotify while the platform runs recruitment ads for ICE. app.sosha.ai/s/h3KC1tmh

This is one of those days where you want to make sure you're seeing the latest from us, not a post from earlier in the day...in case we need to pivot. Right now, latest thinking is some bridges and overpasses may be trouble overnight/tomorrow AM if we dip below freezing, especially N of 840.

"Hundreds of millions—yes, HUNDREDS of millions—annually are being sucked out of our perpetually underfunded public schools and handed over to scam artists, charlatans and zealots."

Tennessee now has 54 local law enforcement agencies that have entered into cooperative agreements with ICE About 1/3 are 'task force' model agreements that effectively deputize local cops to act as ICE agents during day-to-day policing tennesseelookout.com/briefs/more-... @tennesseelookout.com

Nazis are actively attacking hardworking individuals. 💔 New Orleans, Louisiana

In communities like Allston, rogue, masked agents are terrorizing our immigrant neighbors—glorified bullies masquerading as public servants. They're abducting workers, violating civil rights, & ripping families apart. We must protect our communities and reject this cruelty at every turn.

Via Jonathan Shorman & Stateline: Four Republican states have agreed to help the Trump administration gain access to state driver’s license data through a nationwide law enforcement computer network as part of the administration’s hunt for alleged noncitizen voters. https://ow.ly/QgJX50XAC40

Read these words. This is your country doing this: “Pregnant & postpartum women report starving in ICE custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, their pleas for help going unanswered.” Thank you @rfkhumanrights.bsky.social @the-independent.com for shining a light on these horrors

Many counties and cities in Georgia have important local elections today. Get out and vote! EVERY election matters. 🇺🇸

Even $5 would be enough. (A $5 monthly recurring donation would be awesome.)

Exciting stuff! This blue dot in very red Missouri is proud to have donated to @aftynbehn.bsky.social !!! Thank you to all the #TennesseeVoters making history today!!!

Whether you know him as the Grim Reaper or Shadow President, Russ Vought is flouting the law, withholding appropriated resources, and inflicting economic harm on the American people. @housebudgetdems.bsky.social are demanding an explanation.

A U.S. senator is justifying war crimes: the military acting as judge, jury, and executioner for non-capital offenses. A reminder that there is evidence innocent passengers were onboard these vessels.

Multiple school buses have slid into ditches in Lincoln County, MO. Emergency crews are checking on the kids right now. Roads are ice-slick and deteriorating fast. If you’re in eastern Missouri, get off the roads immediately.

Surveillance state about to get worse

7:38a / Cold front will provide some drizzle as it pushes thru. It should move thru fairly quick and we’ll have a dry (but cool) remainder of the day.

During this busiest shopping period of the year, we’re hitting pause on purchases from Home Depot, Target, and Amazon. Let’s make our dollars count by refusing to support corporations complicit in Trump’s authoritarian power grab: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

Light showers will continue through the night...ending sunrise-ish Sunday. Next window for rain opens Monday afternoon/evening.

Today there was a planned federal operation in lower Manhattan.  We’re closely monitoring the situation, and we will keep working with our partners in government to ensure that New Yorkers know their rights, including those arrested today.

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin. New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

“Is this shit legal?” How ICE is disappearing people and holding them in a “black hole” where nobody knows where they are, even as they’re hospitalized

ICE was seen abducting someone sitting on their porch on 57th Street, between 4th and 5th Avenues, in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, New York City 11/ 28/2025

During WWII a German vessel fired upon sailors floating in the sea after the Greek vessel Peleus was sunk. The officers were tried and convicted in the Peleus War Crimes trial.

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

Wow: JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon seems to think that companies involved with Trump's ballroom project could be criminally prosecuted. thehill.com/business/559...

Sorry, but you don’t get to drone strike vessels and double tap the survivors in international waters and then pretend you care about military law.

New Yorkers BLOCK ICE from leaving their parking garage ahead of a flopped mass raid attempt on Canal Street

Why aren’t the Epstein files released yet? Still being doctored up with black Sharpies?

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

Boom.

Donald Trump incited an insurrection on J6. He should never have been able to run for public office again. What a failure of justice to not hold this man accountable.

This is my PawPaw. He’s 96 yo. He wears his NashSevereWx hat everywhere goes just so when you guys tell him you follow us, he can tell you he’s NashSevereWx’s PawPaw. 🤣 He’s one of my favorite human beings I’ve ever known.

"Maria" works in the strawberry roots in the Ballico CA area. She earns piece rate,but says working as fast as she can, she barely makes CA min wage. She skillfully sorts the roots into bunches of 1000. These roots will be transplanted in the spring. #wefeedyou

Putin is letting his soldiers HUNT Ukrainians in Kherson with drones — a genocidal human safari. Meanwhile, Trump wants to give Russia control of Kherson, so that they can finish the job. His administration supports genocide, from Gaza to Ukraine to Sudan to immigrants & trans people in the US
