I had missed this. Perverse even by the standards of the Trump White House. They’re threatening to pull student aid from Brown over the shooting www.nbcboston.com/news/local/t...
Trump administration investigates Brown's security after shooting
The Department of Education said its Office of Federal Student Aid would investigate if Brown University violated the Higher Education Act in connection with the deadly shooting on Dec. 13.

Meet MACC’s Chunky Chu-Wawa.

Hamster is 10 years old and 71 lbs. This chunky senior is a sweetheart but MUCH prefers a cozy couch to kennel life. Hamster loves people, showing off her wiggles and toe taps, making it impossible not to give her lots of love!

Seems there is yet another app using the ICEBlock logo and charging people for access. It’s called ICEBlocker and it is not us.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD or pay. Best we can tell is it’s Russian.

We would never ask for money.

Update. The ICE supervisor, who is 47, was arrested for domestic violence against his non-citizen partner who he started a relationship when she was 18 and he was 40.

Horrific photos from the Epstein files.

Even though he documented a lot, I shudder when I think of what might have been done in private.

Sick, Sick POS.

America is not now, and never has been, a Christian nation.

In fact, it was *explicitly* designed *not* to be.

Most of us learned this in junior high—at the latest.

But Vance is a white nationalist who’ll say or do anything to get even a *shred* more power, so this perversion of our history fits.
JD Vance gets the biggest applause of his speech so far when he says "by the grace of God we always will be a Christian nation"

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

Bari gets a heavily promoted 60 Minutes story that would be bad for the Trump administration killed:

This is a line that has long been used by white supremacists to advance the politics of white supremacy.

Vance is using it that way today, just as Rivers did 70 years ago -- to warn against the "mongrelization" of America and to urge his fellow gutter racists to be unapologetic in their racism.

The WH claims “unanimous” vote to rename the Kennedy Center. A voting board member says she was muted and denied the chance to object. The name is fixed by federal law and cannot be changed without Congress. Silencing dissent and ignoring statutory limits is authoritarian governance.

🏆 We close out the Festival of Lights with our final win: Pennsylvania voters.

In August, the 3rd Circuit required the state to count undated or wrongly dated mail-in ballots, saving thousands of voters from disenfranchisement over an administrative error.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The rate of return here is crazy: for a few hundred thousand dollars, this lab produces literally billions of oysters and supports a seafood industry worth hundreds of millions. And the Trump administration is just like "fuck all that, it's wasteful spending, you're fired"
