So... what *actually* happened?

We are sleeping on this. apple.news/AHWwTHDetRJW...

There’s a reason the political right wants to keep people dumb.

“Just one more thing, Ms Bondi… … If The Epstein Files are a hoax, why the redactions?”

Right, why was it 🤔

Uh oh

Doesn't it strike you as strange that the people who shout long and loud that America is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles are the very people who don't want Christ's teachings of tolerance, pacifism, and generosity codified in law?

2025 comes to an end. It’s been a strong year for deployment and innovation, but a worrying one for energy politics. Moves like the US pause on offshore wind show how quickly progress can be undermined by polarised debate. Here’s hoping 2026 brings calmer, more evidence-based energy policymaking.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

This article is worth your time. The more we understand the weaknesses of this regime the better equipped we are to fight it.

🧵 1/We have to drill into people that it isn't Trump, or Preacher Johnson, or the Corrupt Roberts Court. It is BigMoney Republianism. When they pass laws loosening Child Labor & food inspection, they are fighting Theodore Roosevelt and Progressives.

In that way she resembles her spouse on the topic of immigration

For real. What a lame headline.

MOM SAYS YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH ME

Also, hounding Franken out of the Senate? This a difference between the GOP and Dems. (Franken should never have resigned.)

I don’t know if he’s dying or not, but I do think something is seriously wrong with him. The White House is insulating him more and more, and he’s rarely seen walking anymore if they can help it - almost all of his media availability is done with him sitting. That’s a big difference.

Via Richard Tofel‬: "What it’s like getting comments these days from the regime in Washington." "Comments" in this context means giving the people involved in a news story the chance to respond before publication. link.propublica.net/view/5f0a0ac... Here's a case I found particularly creepy:

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs. So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

Nice 😑

WASH POST: “Corporate bankruptcies surged in 2025, rivaling levels not seen since the immediate aftermath of the Great Recession, as import-dependent businesses absorbed the highest tariffs in decades.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If the Epstein files provide the proof and that proof is being hidden from us, I have not choice but to believe every word coming from the victims. Simple really.

Anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention could see that was happening.

Praying for all in Kyiv. Perilous situation in Ukraine. The war criminal Putin must be stopped at any cost. "Russia launches mass attack on Kyiv. The large-scale overnight strikes hit residential buildings. Much of the city is now without power amid freezing conditions." @cnn.com

Republicans, not Congress. apple.news/A42U0V6gzSnG...

🇺🇦 Zelensky: In this war of Russia against Ukraine, we want peace, and Russia is demonstrating a desire to continue the war. If the whole world – Europe and America – is on our side, we will all stop Putin together.

Tesla is facing its first annual sales decline in China, the world's largest electric vehicle market. While the drop may appear relatively small, it signaled deeper trouble in a market where competitors like BYD and Xiaomi have posted record growth. /1

A link? No?

Not sure I understand why the Trump administration cares about Christians in Nigeria and not Christians in Ukraine

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.

I wrote this a year ago and it hit a nerve. It is still relevant today: Each time I have sat down to write something I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I cannot get out of my head. So, this week I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Dear DOJ, You had 6+ years to vet the Epstein Files while you hid them behind lock and key. Don't tell me that a single document is fake. #EpsteinFiles @thejusticedept.govmirrors.com
