When’s the last time you saw a hedgehog? 🦔 Their numbers are falling, so I just signed a petition to make hedgehog highways - tiny gaps in fences to help them - mandatory in ALL new builds. Add your name: 38d.gs/cwpp

Hundreds of kids in S Carolina are being quarantined right now because of a measles outbreak.

I don’t have patience for niceties when it comes to this crap, so if you’re an anti-vaxxer, keep your damn kids at home and don’t travel for the holidays.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

BREAKING: Kennedy Niece Maria Shriver:

"It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not."

Tomorrow is the deadline for release of the Epstein files. I have a funny feeling we’re not gonna get them.

As for me I already have all I need.

The U.S. has more civilian owned guns than any other country in the world.

It also has the largest number of mass shootings by several orders of magnitude.

The argument that owning more guns will magically stop mass shootings, is a deeply flawed argument and a lie.

The End.

Trump: I like it! Are you sure it will work?

Bondi: Yes. Ordinarily the DOJ would have to appoint an independent special counsel, given your associations with Epstein. We’ll appoint our own, control what they access and their conclusions. So you…

Trump: Shhh…I already tweeted it.

Bondi: We will control the investigation. The point of calling the investigation is to invoke the longstanding DOJ practice of not releasing any evidence pertaining to active investigations, which these files would now be part of. So you could sign off on releasing the files and we’d block it.

Bondi: Here’s what we do. You call for an investigation.

Trump: What? Are you nuts? Call an investigation on myself?

Bondi: No. On any democrats in the files. Not you or your special friends.

Trump: How does that protect me or my friends? Our names are all over those files!

Trump: How do you know? Looks like the House will vote to release the files. That damned Massie won’t let it go. Even Marjorie jumped ship.

Bondi: It will not pass the senate.

Trump: What if it does? Then it’s on my desk. If I refuse to sign it, I’ll look guiltier than I already do!

How it probably happened:

Trump: I can’t make this Epstein mess go away. Even some republicans are starting to cave. Ungrateful cowards. What would they do without me and my rich friends?

Bondi: It will not come to that.

People claim Trump thrives on instability.

I disagree. Your average stable dictatorship can last a good 45 years. But it requires actual stability.

The Trump Administration doesn’t have a coherent plan at all. Just chaos shooting in the dark.

Someone asked me why I cover Ukraine’s success hitting Russian infrastructure but rarely mention Russian strikes on Ukraine. Russia targets residential areas, hospitals, orphanages, weddings. No strategic value. The aim is to cause terror. Terror is effective when it’s amplified. I’m not helping Rus

Trump has pardoned people convicted of seditious conspiracy (Stewart Rhodes & Enrique Tarrio) and who have provided a vehicle for terrorists to exchange money (Binance CEO "CZ" Changpeng Zhao)

And at least ten of the people Trump has pardoned have been rearrested
New in PN: The hysteria over Biden's pardons seems extra ridiculous now

"Trump has perverted the pardon power far beyond the most questionable actions of any other modern president, emboldening a diverse cast of crooked politicians and outright fraudsters in a new American age of corruption."
