A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Trump sympathizes with how stressful it would be for Putin to have to stop killing people for a while because of how inconvenient it would be for him to resume it. This whole thing is a farce. A charade. Putin is playing Trump like the useful idiot that he is.

He let loose almost 200 unhinged posts on Christmas Day.
You’d think someone would have wrestled his phone away after 20, 40 or even a hundred posts.
They know he’s too far gone.
They also know he won’t escape the Epstein fallout.
They’re letting him make his case for the 25th amendment.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I respectfully disagree with the jury’s verdict in the Judge Hannah Dugan case.
The trial evidence showed that Judge Dugan did not obstruct ICE agents from arresting an undocumented immigrant.
Let’s see what happens on appeal. Meanwhile, our support for Judge Dugan continues.
