“Did you believe you had sufficient evidence to obtain and sustain a conviction against Donald Trump for interference with the lawful transfer of power?”

JACK SMITH: “Yes.”

JACK SMITH’S ATTORNEY: “The most powerful person in the world (Trump) has said Mr. Smith should be in jail because of his work as special counsel… in the face of those threats Mr. Smith appears today undaunted.”

It did not seem accidental that Republicans pushed this transcript out on sleepy New Year’s Eve. Smith gave them few openings and parried their pointed questions with exhaustive recitations of the evidence against Trump and his alleged co-conspirators. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

We won in court and forced him to. Trump’s rambling here is the political version of “you can’t fire me, I quit.”

Down on her hands and knees
at ten at night on Hogmanay,
my mother still giving it elbowgrease

—Liz Lochhead, “View of Scotland/Love Poem”
published in A CHOOSING: Selected Poems (Polygon, 2011)

View of Scotland/Love Poem by Liz Lochhead Down on her hands and knees at ten at night on Hogmanay, my mother still giving it elbowgrease jiffywaxing the vinolay. (This is too ordinary to be nostalgia.) On the kitchen table a newly opened tin of sockeye salmon. Though we do not expect anyone, the slab of black bun, petticoat-tails fanned out on bone china. ‘Last year it was very quiet…’ Mum’s got her rollers in with waveset and her well-pressed good dress slack across the candlewick upstairs. Nearly half-ten already and her not shifted! If we’re to even hope to prosper this midnight must find us how we would like to be. A new view of Scotland with a dangling calendar is propped under last year’s, ready to take its place. Darling, it’s thirty years since anybody was able to trick me, December thirty-first, into ‘looking into a mirror to see a lassie wi as minny heids as days in the year’ – and two already since, familiar strangers at a party, we did not know that we were the happiness we wished each other when the Bells went, did we? All over the city off-licenses pull down their shutters, people make for where they want to be to bring the new year in. In highrises and tenements sunburst clocks tick on dusted mantelshelves. Everyone puts on their best spread of plenty (for to even hope to prosper this midnight must find us how we would like to be). So there’s a bottle of sickly liqueur among the booze in the alcove, golden crusts on steak pies like quilts on a double bed. And this is where we live. There is no time like the present for a kiss.

I love this painting.
There's such a hidden story there.
Is the painter being annoying?
Is the painting meant to be put above the snack drawer her already chunky husband keeps raiding?
Or is she judging us through the mists of time?

Democrats yesterday won the final special election of 2025, in Iowa: Their nominee defended a state Senate district by 43%. Harris had won it by 17% last year.

This win means Dems prevent the GOP from gaining a supermajority; the GOP lost the supermajority earlier this year.

Looks like most of the vote is in for the Iowa #SD16 (Harris+17) special election:

Renee Hardman (D)- 73.3%
Lucas Loftin (R)- 26.7%

Nearly a 30 point overperformance to cap off an amazing 2025 for the Iowa Democrats
