Was I up until 1 AM writing this? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. Judge Boasberg just ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. Testimony from Reuveni and Ensign WILL GO FORWARD next week barring intervention from a higher court. www.muellershewrote.com/p/plaintiffs...

What's the biggest story in the country today? It's not Erika Kirk's town hall but the CBS website already has at least 14 stories on it and an entire special section on the home page. www.cbsnews.com

ICYMI there is a new option on the CBS News website. You can read the typically stellar journalism reported by experienced CBS journalists but then you can 'go deeper' and click over to the Bari Weiss pundit site for....some right wing propaganda. Good grief.

Brian Lanza (a member of Trump’s team), who once advised Ukrainians to surrender, is now serving as an adviser to sanctioned Russian oil company Lukoil. But of course it's just a coincidence. No questions whatsoever about his motivation.

The immigration “judge” allegedly sua sponte — meaning without any request by a party, which is obviously a lie given the circumstances — “corrected” the 2019 order to fix a “scrivener’s error” and order Mr Abrego Garcia deported. Not surprisingly, Judge Xinis blocked that. What a corrupt act.

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.

The EU just decided to indefinitely immobilise Russian assets‼️ This ensures that up to €210 billion in Russian funds stay on EU soil, unless Russia fully pays reparations to Ukraine for the damage it has caused. 🥳🎉 now we are talking 🥂🍾

Perhaps Elon's biggest attempt at weeding out waste fraud and abuse in our government.

"These records must be released so the public can see what was promised, what was surrendered, and whether those institutions lived up to the responsibilities they claim to uphold”

If telling troops they must disobey unlawful orders is sedition, you’re gonna have to hang all the military academy instructors, boot camp drill instructors and training manual authors, along with every member of congress that authorized the UCMJ by voting yes on the most recent NDAA.

If ANY Republican in Congress says Mark Kelly committed “sedition” by telling troops to disobey unlawful orders, ask them if they voted yes on the most recent NDAA. Because if they did, they also told the troops to disobey unlawful orders by authorizing the latest UCMJ.

Judge Paula Xinis on the government’s conduct in the Abrego Garcia litigation: “Respondents did not just stonewall. They affirmatively misled the tribunal.”

Even the Fox News closed caption writer thought Trump said that he loves "minors"

For ProPublica filmmaker Mauricio Rodríguez Pons, Yineska and her family represent the many Venezuelans who’ve come to the U.S. seeking safety and opportunity — and, in many ways, his own immigration story. Watch “Status: Venezuelan,” out now.

Trump: making tax fraud great again

The implication here is that HAD Ellison & Weiss known about the MTG segment, they would have intervened somehow- maybe even censored it-- to keep Trump happy. These folks should not have control of any news outlet, not a single one. Outrageous.

Like Barron needs anyone else to teach him how to treat women like crap.🙄

Trump's desire is to be like his hero, Putin. Venezuela is to Trump as Ukrain is to Putin. It's really as simple as that.

The U.S. has zero voting power in the ICC, and Trump’s team still wants to gut the Rome Statute, protect Trump, and delete two war-crimes investigations. You only fight this hard to hide something you never want the world to see. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

In January, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services will roll out a pilot program that will use AI to review Medicare patients' requests for care. Insurers will get rewarded when they deny care. What could go wrong?

On December 10 at the European Parliament, during a screening of documentary films about Ukrainian children, the interpreter could not hold back tears as 11‑year‑old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv spoke. The boy had survived the missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022,

He didn'tcall @propublica.org fake news... Trump hung up on reporter who asked if his Florida mortgages were similar to those he called fraudulent He in fact had done the very thing by signing 2 mortgages - 7 weeks apart - pledging both would be his principal residence

Vaccines will protect us against all sorts of ailments but who will protect us from RFK Jr and his quackery? Bill Cassidy had a chance to do that and utterly failed and will be forever remembered as a coward.

In the lawsuit by 140 officers injured on a January 6, Trump is claiming Executive Privilege to hide his communications on and around that day. More on Substack: substack.com/@thefrankfig...

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

Eileen Higgins blows it out in Miami, wins 59%-40%!!!! In the last 2 years Dems have flipped Florida’s two largest cities, Jacksonville and Miami. Great work everyone! www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/eileen-hig...

It has the largest audience for cable news. Over 30 of its on-air talent now work for the Trump admin. A bunch of former Trump folks work for Fox now. They talk directly to Trump while on air. Ignoring it won’t make it go away.

$1000 in a HSA and a gym in the airport is not going to be enough if you get cancer. We need to extend the ACA tax credits and work to put in place a universal healthcare system in the United States.

Oh look, it’s Trump pretending to save the day, by fixing a problem that he created with a bailout. But it doesn’t solve the real problem. Farmers wouldn’t have been in this position if it weren’t for Trump’s insane tariff policy. #TrumpInflationCrisis

Read @nicolefoy.bsky.social's investigation that prompted the congressional probe. We found that agents had detained >170 Americans this year. More than 20 citizens said they were held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or their loved ones.

lmfao

MTG is no hero. She’s a white nationalist POS who enabled Trump and the worst elements of the MAGA movement, she still believes in those vile ideas. The only reason she turned on Trump is because he refused to endorse her for Senate in Georgia. Anyway, it’s great to see them fighting each other 🍿

The president doesn’t have the authority to act as judge, jury, and executioner. Killing civilians is a crime under both domestic and international law. That's why we and our partners are suing the Trump administration to demand they release their legal justifications for these unlawful strikes.

I must've missed ABC News’ official statement supporting reporter Rachel Scott, who was insulted by Trump yesterday. I guess ABC is still busy drafting a rip-roaring defense of Scott, because no ethical employer would let a staffer be harassed like that without addressing the issue. </s>

15+ Goons to kidnap one brown person in Chicago.

A Ukrainian woman married to a United States citizen has become one of the latest applicants to be detained by federal agents at their green card interview, despite her husband saying she had always had legal status.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines. When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

Trump is going to usher this through. And it is going to be a disaster for the free press. Talk about nepotism. fortune.com/2025/12/08/j...
