This is a long overdue win for the rule of law as the Trump administration is forced to end its illegal deployment of our service members.
My thoughts are with the members of the National Guard who are finally headed home to their families.

Illinois and Chicago have reduced crime with smart investments in police and community violence reduction programs. Meanwhile Trump cut federal support for both.
No matter how many lies he tells, we will keep standing up for truth and against his abuse of power.

Trump has harsher words for the Governor of Colorado than he does Vladimir Putin. That is because Donald and his idiotic family have been owned by the Russian mob for decades and YES they know ALL about his sordid history with Jeffrey Epstein. Stop him in 2026, USA.

The MAGAfication of Norman Rockwell
Trump uses the artist’s work—like other cultural icons—to promote Gestapo tactics and nativist ideas.

Speaking as someone who just wrote a book on the Manhattan Project, I can assure you that refugee immigrants were the *entire* reason the US mastered the atom first. The most chilling part of writing my book was reading about them fleeing fascism … abroad. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/fleeing-on...

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

Not only does this intentionally violate the First Amendment to the US Constitution, it’s vile to watch mean-spirited, selfish ghouls who starve the poor and kidnap people for their skin color sanctimoniously pretending they follow any of the teachings of Jesus.

This piece is a species of what we might call “born yesterday” coverage that sets aside how these actions fit into the history of Trumpism and authoritarianism. This is reporting in the spirit of what George W. S. Trow called “no-history” in his remarkable essay, “Within the Context of No Context.”

“Clinton is in the Epstein files!”
Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

I’m spending the holiday with my in-laws, who require (and can pay for) 24/7 care. Several of their caregivers from rural Virginia are about to lose their ability to pay for their own health insurance. Not a merry Christmas
