Merry Christmas! A few showers around, will end by lunchtime, then a little clearing. Still watching the chance for some iciness Friday afternoon and night but trending a touch less cold and icy as we close in. Main risk northernmost suburbs. Forecast: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...
CWG Live: Christmas morning showers, afternoon clearing; ice risk late Friday

He is promising, on camera, to break his oath to the Constitution by illegally and unconstitutionally usurping the exclusive authority of Congress. Sprinkle in a little 'blowing up the Union' to boot
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

Forest and trees re Epstein documents, as of now.
Trees: Controversies about particular documents.
Forest: Virtually none of the key documents, ones that we know exist, the ones the victims and knowledgeable observers have been demanding to see, have been released.
And so the coverup continues.

If I see one more person spread the "all GDP growth is AI" nonsense....
Avg QoQ ann. % change for GDP in 2025 after three quarters is 2.5%. Avg for consumption is 2.2%.
The idea that AI investment is the source of all growth is just completely wrong.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

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.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
