They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.
These are the people who are willing to go on the record.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

It is international law 101 that a military blockade is not just a violation of the UN Charter, but a crime of aggression.

Unless that blockade is in response to an 'armed attack.'

None of President's Trump's list of complaints come close to an armed attack.

The Vice President spent this morning lying to Pennsylvanians about rising prices at the grocery store, gutting our healthcare, and screwing over our farmers.

I guess JD Vance was afraid to upset his boss today.

And the students are doing this while the murderer is on the loose, and their friends and neighbors have been ordered not to leave their rooms or homes.

Even the local hospital is on lockdown right now.

Trump's speech was billed as a message to ease worries about affordability. But the economy couldn’t maintain his interest and he referred to those concerns as a "hoax." 🔗 Full recap: www.inquirer.com/politics/d...

A big part of the Baltimore–Washington Parkway is under federal control (National Park Service) so they don’t have to coordinate with state & local authorities. I would take I-95 as an alternate where there is much higher traffic volume.
ICE is now setting up racial profiling checkpoints to stop people on major US highways. These checkpoints are being seen near Washington, DC on the Baltimore-Washington Pkwy, on the DC/Maryland border.

The US military says it killed four people in an air strike on a suspected drug boat in in the Eastern Pacific.

The attack was ordered by US War Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is under scrutiny over a previous attack in which survivors were killed in a follow-up strike.

Donald Trump appeared to struggle to stay awake for the second time in a month on Tuesday.

Trump's eyes were cumulatively closed for ~6 minutes over roughly 75 minutes, per a Post analysis of multiple video feeds.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?

Trump putting the Washington Post and CBS News in his “Offender Hall of Shame,” even as they bend over backwards to curry favor tells us that nothing short of full propaganda mode will ever be acceptable to him. There's no way for a news organization to maintain credibility and be "fair" to Trump.
