Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

“It's maddening to see the number of inquests that I attend, the number of funerals that families have to attend, and the fact that we are 30 years after the royal commission, and the situation is getting increasingly worse…”

Indigenous deaths in custody at a record level in Australia. So horrific.
'It's maddening': Anger and frustration amid record Black deaths in custody
Australia has recorded the highest number of Indigenous deaths in custody since 1979. Experts say over-incarceration remains a national crisis and prisons are neglecting the physical and mental health...

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?

Noem: We have not deported military veterans.

Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

BREAKING: DOJ has failed to indict Letitia James for a THIRD time! It's like Christmas around here!
Do it. Take these to another grand jury. Then a 2nd and a 3rd, until we get a breaking news story about how much you suck at this. And if you do manage to get a true bill, we can watch you lose again in pretrial motions. Do it! I live to watch you lose! www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
DOJ deciding whether to seek new Comey, James indictments
The department could forgo an appeal of Lindsey Halligan’s disqualification and instead seek to bring new charges against James Comey and Letitia James.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.

This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.

The vote failed big, 19/31.

The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Love the idea of the NBA Cup, but it does create some weirdness. Such as:

1) Spurs having to extend a road trip to LA that began in Orlando

2) Spurs could have to play 5 games vs OKC, huge in a tight playoff race

3) It's in the best interest to sit the best player, even if it costs everyone $500K

Irony dies once again.
Trump allies himself with a leader whose election win was stolen from her, who has won the Nobel Prize, and who is in opposition to a Dictator.

Hearthkin Jaegers for Kill Team (a game I'm not sure I'm going to play more of, but the models were ready to paint).

Intentionally painted somewhat basically, keeping to a few base layers and nothing complicated.

They turned out pretty well, I think.
