ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.

Happy holidays, kids!

No dolls for you. And enough with the profligate pencil use!

By the way, have you heard about my extravagant ballroom?
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

This is probably why they made up that silly "peace" prize for Trump. The wanted this lawsuit dropped. And good old Trump thinks corruption should be legal anyway.

Woah, Oracle down -10.5% after hours, cracking $200. Perhaps Ellisons should ease up on their quest to conquer Hollywood studios and meddle with CNN coverage topics… maybe focus on the business for a minute. Just an idea.

Imagine, for just a second, Biden saying this about Fox News.

And I bet the absolutely feckless White House press corps won’t cover this like the legit constitutional 1A disaster this is.
Trump: "I think the people that have run CNN are a disgrace. I think it's imperative that CNN be sold because you certainly wouldn't want to just leave those people with some money so they can spend even more spending poison. It's lies. I wouldn't want to see the same company end up with CNN."

ORCL has $19bn of cash and equivalents. They issued $18bn of corporate bonds last quarter and burned $10bn of cash. So without that huge deal they would be basically out of cash.*

*note: this does not mean bankrupt, that's something different

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Once right-wing oligarchs gain control of just about every national and local media company, social media platform, and big AI, as they are systematically doing with little notice from the general public, it will be game, set and match for the Republic.

EU officials are weighing the 'Nuclear Option' of dumping U.S. Treasuries if Trump cuts a Ukraine deal and betrays the Allies. This would trigger an economic collapse in the US, millions would lose everything overnight and Saudi Arabia, UAE, and China would buyout the country.
