It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

SCOTUS tells Trump no on deployment of Illinois Nat’l Guard, finding a valid exception to the Posse Comitatus Act doesn’t exist. Huge loss for the Trump Administration. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Wow. Where are the adults? The career professionals?
How embarrassing it is to watch our once-esteemed Department of Justice behave like this.

Wow. Grinch much?
After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Release the Jack Smith transcript.
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."

Illinois created civil rights tool HB 1312, allows residents to sue ICE agents who violate constitutional limits and for unlawful arrests within 1000' courthouse protection zones. Contact your state AG now and demand they adopt policies modeled on Illinois HB 1312.

Deputy AG Blanche just said the Trump DOJ will miss the Epstein files deadline.

He says "several hundred thousand" docs will be released today, "and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more."

All files are required by law to be released today.

Your cable and streaming prices could go up.

How? Nexstar is trying to buy a competitor, Tegna. And the Trump admin could give it the greenlight.

Nexstar-Tegna would control TV stations reaching 80% of TV households. 80%!

With one company dominating, they could raise prices.
Elizabeth Warren, Congressional Democrats Push FCC and DOJ to Scrutinize Nexstar-Tegna Deal (Exclusive)
The politicians argue that the deal will "increase costs, drive job losses, and harm local journalism" in a letter to Brendan Carr and Gail Slater.

Trump's thug admin said the Kennedy Center name change vote was unanimous.

It wasn't.

The vote was done via conference call.

JFK’s grandson Jack Schlossberg said everyone on the board who opposed it had their microphones muted during the call.

That’s some Soviet-level dirty trickery.

It's worth noting that it is straightforwardly illegal for Trump to change the Kennedy Center name under existing federal law.

The pedo bastard, once again, is applying the “try and stop me” clause.
