You're a good man, Charlie Brown.
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.

My daughter shared it with me, we've been checking in and laughing about it all day. Gotta love #Cleveland! Happy to live here. ☺️
Someone on r/Cleveland discovered an abandoned microwave on a park bench and people have started visiting it and leaving it holiday gifts 😄

We've always been at war with Venezuela.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Many of you will know "Carol of the Bells" was a Ukrainian song.
Today is the birthday of composer Mykola Leontovych, born in Vinnytsia and murdered by a Soviet agent in 1921, aged 44 - some things don't change.
"Shchedryk" sung by Ukraine choir 'Homin' in Austria's parliament

I've been saying this for a year now: the Democrats have missed a gigantic political opportunity--and, at this point, have failed in an ethical obligation--to create a shadow-government health department that dispenses medically accurate information, guidance, and advice.
WATCH: A CDC panel voted to end the recommendation that newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine, despite a 99% drop in cases since in the 30 years since it was implemented. Chris Hayes and Brandy Zadrozny react. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6REM...

If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker.
This young lady is wise beyond her years, but she is still a “child”and she would like a word…

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

OTD in 1906 Hannah Arendt was born.
"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact & fiction and the distinction between true & false no longer exist".

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?
MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

It's not just what Marjorie Taylor Green is saying, but HOW she is saying it. The tone of voice, her demeanor. She's speaking like a normal person. So apparently, when she speaks the #Truth using #facts, she needs no nasty language or theatrics. I find that fascinating. 🤔 #TrumpShutdown

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell
JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too
D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?
J: I didn't see it
D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.
