Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Illinois is launching a new initiative to document abuses by federal agents — calling out ICE and CBP for targeting people of color and dodging accountability. “We’re going to have to keep a record. These people need to be held accountable.”

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

Lots of posts about "no win for Zelenskyy" or "question Zelenskyy's sanity" which seem to be more about denegrating him than posting facts.
Zelenskyy wants peace, but NOT with trump's/kremlin's "plan". He has not accepted that plan at all.
Ukraine will not give up teritory, russia must.

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

Trump is clearly losing his bearings, and there is no one in the White House who can calm him or get him to modify his actions or his provocative statements. Trump’s irrational and impulsive behavior is becoming particularly worrisome.
