“It’s Christmas Eve. It’s the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year, we are the people we always hoped we would be.”

As far as I can tell the Trump admin currently has a 0% success rate in lawsuits seeking to overturn immigrant-friendly policies.

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr.

Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet.

See the problem?

The condescension and moral preening are getting all the glory in this email, but don’t sleep on the new head of CBS News declaring that the last 7 days were a “slow news week.”
New Bari Weiss & CBS leadership note to staff—

“…Americans say they do not trust the press…To win back their trust, we have to work hard.”

“Sometimes it means telling unexpected stories…sometimes it means holding a piece about an important subject to make sure it is comprehensive and fair.”

Bill Kristol: "The awful nature of Epstein’s crimes, Trump’s proximity to them, the fact that victims haven’t gotten justice and co-conspirators haven’t been held to account, promises to bring the truth to light—all of this may have doomed even a well-executed coverup."

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Thank you for your work to plan the Rosie the Riveter Nat'l Historical Park that memorializes the role of women here at home during WWII & for becoming a park ranger at age 85. We may not have known you otherwise & that would've been a loss for us all.

Goodnight & godspeed, Betty Reid Soskin🕯️

Yesterday, December 23, 2025, will go down in the history of the Russia-Ukraine war.

On December 23, Russia launched 35 missiles at Ukraine, 34 of which were destroyed by Ukraine. This represents a 97 percent success rate - an exceptionally high result for a massive missile attack.
