The Supreme Court rejected the federal government’s request to deploy the National Guard in Illinois.

It’s time to let our troops go home to celebrate the holidays with their families — and stay home.

"'We request that the government pause apprehension activities during the Christmas season. Such a pause would show a decent regard for the humanity of these families.'

The White House did not mention the holiday season in its rejection of the Bishops' request..."

ICE are not legitimate federal agents. They are not law enforcement. They have no authority to commit crimes, violate rights, assault and kidnap Americans. Zero. They're criminals with badges and guns.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.

"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

Reminder that we are a year into aggressive ICE raids and concentration camps, and there’s not a single example of local cops protecting people against this violence, kidnapping, or death.

Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.

The problem with American politics on both sides right now is this:

Politicians are more concerned about how their MESSAGE is being RECEIVED than they are in their POLICIES being EFFECTIVE.

In my newest piece for The Times of India, I argue that the Epstein files release is the beginning of the end for the Trump administration, but not because of any scandal arising from the actual content (though that might happen as well).

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?
