Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air

This was exactly Adolf Eichmann's job.

Christmas in the East Wing, 2023. 🎄

How do you just “uncover” over a million Epstein documents out of nowhere like they were misplaced in a desk drawer? You don’t, and when accountability gets slow-walked like this, it usually means the same powerful people involved have enough power to force the DOJ to delay it.

TRUMP: “What would you like Santa to bring?” LITTLE GIRL: “Not coal.” TRUMP: “You mean clean, beautiful coal.” *laughs because he knows he’s lying to a child on Christmas Eve on behalf of his fossil fuel billionaire donors*🫤 🎄

CBS destroying a brand they built up over the course of like 100 years for one criminal idiot is a pretty funny bit

An uplifting Christmas post from Dear Leader. Truly in the spirit of the season 🙄

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

I’m so sorry that the weight of the fight to retain our democracy is borne so unevenly

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Many survivors came forward, and we began comparing notes and working with people in Congress. As we started connecting the dots, we realized that some of us were sent to the same person in Hollywood for movie auditions. Some of us went to the same modeling agency…

No one has more contempt for the intelligence of Trump supporters than Trump & the members of his administration

The anti-birthright citizenship element in the legal academy has all the hallmarks of a high school debate club and none of actual scholarship.

This Christmas the real Scrooges are corporations that raked in record profits this year and paid their CEOs millions of dollars but still deny workers a living wage and benefits.

A million pages is conservatively 400 bankers boxes.

This man has no idea what people want/ need, even at the simplest level

Trump to child from Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania is great, we won Pennsylvania, actually three times. We won it a landslide.

“I voted once for Trump in 2016 — I’ve learned right wing media is just a propaganda machine… ask yourself if the principles of this administration are actually in line with the teachings of Jesus. All they’re doing is exploiting the poor for the benefit of the billionaires.”

Ouch — the Trump-hosted Kennedy Center honors just did its “smallest audience ever”, roughly half of the previous record low

Pope Leo calls for kindness to strangers and the poor in Christmas message

feels quaint to even mention it at this point but the supreme court's total lack of interest in defending the lower court judges who routinely receive maga death threats and swatting attempts for ruling against trump really illustrates who utterly lawless the high court has become

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

You gotta admit it’s pretty funny how QAnon was spot on about a pedophile running the government — but they can’t brag about it because they literally voted for the pedophile.

The "A.i." products used created a slicker final presentation. But slickness means nothing in education. Only thought and creativity and work. You're cheating kids of actual creative work, turning them into button operators instead of thinkers and doers. Shame on you.

Thanks for sharing this document, @rweingarten.bsky.social. I read it, and I believe it's inexcusably inadequate and will not prepare teachers or schools to confront the very real dangers of the "A.i." products pushed by your partners, including OpenAI. A few thoughts for your consideration...

“Like prime, but with human beings”

If I were still teaching US History, I would gather images of the oval office over time and ask students to analyze what the decorations, including the choice of portraits, busts, etc, tells us about how a particular president understands the history of the US. 🗃️ www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Here is a list of Supreme Court cases we here at Democracy Docket will be keeping our gimlet eyes peeled for in 2026 — those with the greatest potential for reshaping American democracy and our nation’s constitutional order in the coming year, whether for good or for ill (mostly for ill).

there is one and only one political strategy, and that is: “hang trump like an anchor around the neck of every single elected republican and the party itself.” no ‘friends across the aisle.’ no ‘the fever will break.’ anyone not on board with that has to go. no exceptions

THIS!!!

"Having offered up their not-inconsiderable reputations & intellectual firepower, these once-respected thinkers realized too late that they were never steering the ship. The goal was always a personalist regime that wrecked the economy for the benefit of a few oligarchs. You love to see it… sort of"

The “60 Minutes” we have known is dead. The fearless program that many of us grew up with was strangled by corporate titans seeking favor with the Trump White House. I don’t know what is next for the storied franchise, but it will never be the same. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/60-m...

A federal judge has ruled the Trump regime broke the law when it deported over 200 Venezuelans to El Salvador's CECOT without due process in March. Here's your reminder of what due process is — and why it's the cornerstone of our democracy.

Bari Weiss, who made her career sowing distrust in the mainstream media, is now pretending other people did that and she’s here to help right the ship

The AG is *supposed* to be the people’s lawyer, not the president’s. This is outrageous. It also indicates Trump feels that he needs protection from Epstein file disclosures.

Israel condemned for approval of 19 settlements in occupied West Bank

This city shaped a classic Christmas carol. Now Russia has destroyed it. Meet the history and politics of a world-famous Christmas song that started as Kyiv’s political message to the world a century ago. It sends the same message today.

There are no good guys here. Not Harvard. Not the Trump admin. Not the leakers. And probably not these reporters.

“Harvard officials, already anxious about the prospect of backlash to any settlement with a president many on campus see as autocratic, are sensitive to the details of any agreement.” What most people don’t realize is that Harvard’s admin wanted to settle months ago www.nytimes.com/2025/12/24/u...

Are these the files you boxed up from the Biden era probe into Epstein co-conspirators and shipped off to DC after you killed the investigation and fired the prosecutors? You’ve had these since January. I call BS.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel. "Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

The DOJ is lying when it says they *just now* received Epstein files from the Southern District of New York.

Merry Holidays everyone 😞

The University of Oklahoma fired an instructor for failing a student who wrote a reaction paper without having read the text she was supposed to react to. By definition she failed to satisfy the requirements of the assignment—which she publicly disclosed before the decision to fire the instructor.

So wrong
