Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good.

In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric.

It’s not.

Texas governor threatens state takeover of Houston elections Read more here.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) threatened Houston with a state takeover of its elections on Thursday — an escalation of long-simmering GOP threats to gain control of voting in the fourth-largest city in the United States. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING: The Hennepin County District Attorney's office says they have jurisdiction to charge the ICE agent involved in the fatal Minneapolis shooting.

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Scores of now-pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionists will gather from 11:45am for a march to the Capitol starting at the Ellipse.

One insurrectionist who says he's attending: Enrique Tarrio, who was sentenced to prison until 2045 until Trump intervened.

ELON MUSK’S XAI RAISED $20 BILLION AT AN IMPLIED ~$230 BILLION VALUATION, WITH NVIDIA, CISCO, FIDELITY AND OTHER MAJOR BACKERS PILING IN TO FUND ITS AGGRESSIVE PUSH IN AI.

With the retirement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the passing of LaMalfa, it looks like the GOP no longer holds a working majority until his seat is filled. It’s at 217. They need 218 for a majority.

There we go. That there’s a headline.

Trump targets handful of blue states with $10 billion cut to child care funds

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.

We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.

We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

Cassidy is responsible for all the sickness and death that RFK Jr inflicts on the American people.

OUT: Helping you pay for health care.

IN: Helping oil companies pay for their infrastructure in a foreign country.

California's billionaire tax could offset federal health care cuts About 200 billionaires residing in California could face a 5% one-time tax.

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

This new war in Venezuela is deeply corrupt.

I will never vote to send someone’s son or daughter to war to make oil executives richer.

Investigator breaches white supremacist dating sites, exposes 8,000 users An investigative journalist infiltrated three white supremacist platforms, including the dating site WhiteDate, exfiltrating over 8,000 user profiles and 100GB of sensitive data.

This story is terrific. A woman infiltrated a racist dating site, used chatbots to get info from horny incels, and then leaked it all.

What are the odds one of the accounts on WhiteDate belongs to a White House staffer?

Irony just fell out of a tenth storey window. #putin

Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

Caitlin Flanagan: Thank you to people - well person - for pointing out that the Ayatollah Khameini is long dead (he's really, most sincerely dead) but for whatever reason On Twitter the account is Khameini. Lydia Kiesling: You are talking about two different people. Caitlin Flanagan: I think they speak through history with one voice

Whenever I see someone getting out over their skis on a foreign policy take I remember Caitlin Flanagan confusing Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khomeini and then claiming she was actually expressing a profound truth.

Trump says his military attack on Venezuela is about "peace on Earth"

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

Screenshot of a post by Acyn on X summarizing comments by Representative Dan Goldman. The post states that Goldman criticized the justification for pursuing Nicolás Maduro on drug trafficking charges, calling it bogus and noting that the Honduran president was recently pardoned for similar offenses. Below the text is a television news still from MSNBC’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki. Dan Goldman appears on screen in a studio or remote setup, wearing a dark jacket and light shirt, speaking directly to the camera. A nighttime city skyline with illuminated buildings is visible behind him. On-screen graphics include a red “Breaking News” banner reading “Maduro arrives in NY to face drugs and weapons charges,” along with Goldman’s name, title, and MSNBC branding.

The White House would like us to forget this, but we will not.

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files.
