Words, written by Louise Penny, we never hear from America's past and future president: “I was wrong.” “I'm sorry.” “I don't know.” and “I need help.” I generally ignore DMs

I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files. But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

CBS hired a minion of Trump to run their news.

This CBS News story about another fatal boat strike in the Pacific has some vague reference to Democratic pushback — but no actual quotes from anyone opposed to the administration. And you have to wonder, how in the world did that get past their editor in chief. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-mili...

Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

The president was accused of multiple rapes of 14 year old girls as well as multiple murders of their babies and we’re all just acting like it doesn’t matter because CBS and CNN haven’t weighed in yet.

I’m a new fan… One of the most improbable stories in classical music history: not because they are Black, but because they are seven siblings in one family of virtuosos. The parents of the award winning Kanneh-Masons deserve an award too.

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair." One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

Donnie, here’s what you can do to get to heaven… Help the poor, which means not cutting their healthcare and child’s lunches Welcome the stranger, which means not snatching an immigrant from work and throwing them in a concentration camp Put others before yourself - enjoy Hell 😈 🔥 #ProudBlue

not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.

Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social

This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

My FYP is showing me videos of Americans that moved to Canada and the difference between the two countries. I hat I hear most is that we can just relax in Canada and out out having to worry about safety, gun violence, it’s safe to walk at night.

1/ The FDA just changed the Covid vaccine access to 65+ and immunocompromised. I'm getting a lot of questions, so I’m going to do my best to answer them with the information that is currently available. Here are a few of your top questions answered 👇

AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”

If you want to test how bitterly it is possible to argue with your spouse navigating a hectic college campus with poor signage and multiple blocked roads where your map function isn't working and there's empty nest emotional baggage is a great way to find out

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 Today's thread contains material that you will find disturbing, and rightfully so. Lynching Black people was horrific in and of itself, but what happened during & afterwards was gruesome. Pull up a seat.🪑 #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Brown: In a state of 12 million people, half a million are going to lose their insurance. People didn’t vote for that. They didn’t vote for higher grocery bills. They didn’t vote for veterans’ benefits being slashed. They didn’t vote for any of this.

There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.

WASHINGTON (AP) — South Carolina, Ohio also sending National Guard troops to DC in further escalation of federal intervention in Dem city.

HAPPENING NOW: It's Day 2 of the bench trial in Newsom v. Trump, the suit brought by California over Trump's use of the national guard and marines for immigration enforcement. I'm covering for @lawfaremedia.org. Today we expect testimony from the government's witnesses. 🧵

Trump and Putin’s Alaska summit isn’t diplomacy - it’s a mob sit-down. Like the 1929 Atlantic City gangster conference, it’s billed as “peace” but risks carving up power while democracy takes the hit. Different bosses, same racket. It's an extension of America's "Russification" Link in comments 👇

STFU, RFK Jr, you ridiculous idiot. You don't care about the wellbeing of patients. You care about politics. You are actively undermining doctors' ability to protect their patients from measles and COVID. Your party forces women who have miscarried to bleed out in parking lots over your politics.

Trump: "The crime numbers [in D.C.] get worse." Official statistics: Violent crime in D.C. is at a 30-year low. The Trump regime is inventing lies to justify military control over our cities. It's what dictators do.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: “The Mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser, is a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances, and the Crime Numbers get worse, and the City only gets dirtier and less attractive. The American Public is not going to put up with it any longer.“

Mark Kelly: "I hope we got something out of this. Putin is a war criminal. This is not a show of strength to allow him to fly into the United States to land here to negotiate with our president."
