Over public dissents from Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch, #SCOTUS refuses to allow President Trump to deploy federalized National Guard troops into and around Chicago.

This is a major loss for President Trump, even if, per Justice Kavanaugh’s concurrence, it’s temporary and on narrow legal Q:

Sometimes when I really REALLY need to relax I like to get in the tub, indulge in a rare smoke earlier than bedtime, and go on YouTube to watch interesting/funny videos and say nice things to people.

All I want for Christmas is a world where everyone gets to do this, or their equivalent to my this.

Based Mick Foley.

#Wrestling #WWE #MickFoley #AThreadOfHope #StopTrump #MAGA
A screenshot of a Facebook post from wrestler Mick Foley: “PARTING WAYS WITH WWE While I have been concerned about WWE's close relationship with Donald Trump for several months - especially in light of his administration's ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants (and pretty much anyone who "looks like an immigrant*) - reading the President's incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner's death is the final straw for me. I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy. Last night, I informed @WWE talent relations that I would not be making any appearances for the company as long as this man remains in office. Additionally, I will not be signing a new Legends deal when my current one expires in June. I love WWE, will always treasure my time with them, and I am deeply appreciative for all the opportunities they afforded me. But, in the words of Popeye the sailor, "I stands all I can stands, and I can't stands no more."

Don't be fooled by the MAGAs with their fearmongering techniques borrowed directly from the Nazis. In the past 25 years, crime has plummeted and the kids are more alright now than they were when I was one.

“Companies that have collaborated w/immigration enforcement agencies in various ways to aid Trump’s mass deportation initiative—whether through allowing ICE to raid their parking lots, taking on contracts w/DHS, or a variety of other actions—are starting to feel the rumblings of a consumer revolt.”

BREAKING: Federal judge rejects DOJ's effort to subpoena the names and medical records of children who have received gender-affirming medical care from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA IN RE: SUBPOENA NO. 25-1431-014 : MISCELLANEOUS ACTION : : NO. 25-39 MEMORANDUM KEARNEY,J. November 21, 2025 Our elected Congresspersons granted the Department of Justice limited authority in 1996 to investigate federal health care offenses involving the labeling and distribution of prescription drugs. The Department of Justice is now investigating the labeling and distribution of prescribed clinically authorized puberty blockers and hormone therapy. It subpoenaed fifteen categories of records from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia including billing and insurance records, communications with manufacturers and sales representatives, and the names and complete medical and psychological records of children receiving gender-affirming care. The Hospital agrees to produce most of the requested materials. But it objects to producing the identities of its child patients and their families along with their confidential medical files. Its objection requires we study two questions: whether Congress authorized a subpoena for the children's confidential medical records, and, if so, whether the children's privacy interests outweigh the Department of Justice's need for these confidential medical records under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. We find the answer to both questions is "no." We strike the three requests for these child- identifying and treatment and disclosure records as beyond the authority granted by Congress. We also find, even if this private information could be relevant, the heightened privacy interests of children and their families substantially outweighs the Department's need to know the children's names, addresses, and treatment along with disclosures for gender-affirming care at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

If you follow election results, an interesting compilation of Democratic victories you may not have seen, incl. red states.

e.g. Texas flipped a school board that censored textbook chapters on climate change, vaccines, Covid + diversity; added electives about the Bible; + fired half its librarians.
Six election results that didn’t make the headlines
Although Democratic victories in New York, Virginia, New Jersey, and California dominated the headlines, significant contests were held across the nation.
