Russian central bank greatly increases short-term loans to banks, indicating a liquidity shortage.

Usual caveats that Russia's economy isn't going to collapse tomorrow. But this highlights how they're operating beyond capacity and their aggression against Ukraine is unsustainable. The costs add up.

Politico gets this right, foiling the Republicans' effort to bury Smith's testimony in a holiday dump by playing the story big. The Times devotes a small hed; can't find "Smith" on The Post's home page.

The New York Times lays out a "tangled web" of Trump, Trump administration and Trump family business connections and paths to enrichment. The scale of the web is vast and the figures massive. In addition to all the crypto, one segment discuss AI entanglements.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear:

If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison.

And he should be.

Dump has terminated the 50-year lease between the National Park Service and the nonprofit National Links Trust which runs three public golf courses in DC. I’m willing to bet his plan is to take them over personally and turn them into private Trump owned clubs. 🤬🤬

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

So “a million more documents” is now “roughly 5.2 million pages of Epstein files documents”

And they’re “seeking to enlist about 400 lawyers” to do doc review, which means they don’t even have the people yet to get it done

Trump & Pamela Jo are just slow-walking the shit out of violating the law.
