All kidding aside, this is a very troubling post that should feature prominently in the Senate confirmation hearings. Reminder if the Senate doesn’t confirm anyone, Powell stays as Fed Chair.

Are these the files you boxed up from the Biden era probe into Epstein co-conspirators and shipped off to DC after you killed the investigation and fired the prosecutors? You’ve had these since January. I call BS.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Israeli police arrested a Palestinian man dressed as Santa Claus during a raid on a Christmas celebration in Haifa earlier this week, a local rights group has said.</p>
<p>Police forcibly dispersed festivities held by Palestinian Christian citizens of Israel in the Wadi Nisnas neighbourhood on Sunday and confiscated equipment from the event. </p>
<p>According to the Mossawa Centre, an organisation advocating for the rights of Palestinian citizens of Israel, police used excessive force while detaining the man dressed as Santa Claus, as well as a DJ and a street vendor.</p>
<p>All three were released on Monday but were expected to be summoned to court again.</p>
<p>Mossawa said police also raided a music institute without legal authorisation.</p>

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

This is the same grievance-driven, us-vs-them rhetoric historians associate with fascist movements: claiming the nation was exploited by outsiders, blaming migrants, and promising redemption through military power and “destiny.” Different era, same playbook.
