PS7/ December 14—when Cole allegedly scoped out his DC target—was a Monday. What had happened in DC in the 48 hours before? A dry run in DC, by Stop the Steal and its allies, for an event *only its leaders* knew would be coming on January 6: huge pro-Trump protests.

HUGE: In a letter to Congress, more than 140 solar companies detail how the Trump permitting freeze on renewables is worse than imagined and hitting copious projects on private lands
They’re asking Congress to intervene and say “bipartisan permitting reform” won’t help without forcing Trump’s hand
News outlets breathlessly talk about these kinds of mergers like it's three handsome suitors vying for the hand of a coquettish vestal virgin instead of what it is:
Companies that are already more powerful than many national governments vying for monopolistic control over all media and information.
Keep 'em coming

Trump is gutting Wall Street safeguards and firing the examiners that make sure megabanks aren’t scamming you or putting our economy at risk.
Trump will own the next financial crisis, but we’re all going to pay for it.
Great piece by national treasure, Will Bunch. This is all so enraging, stupid, and awful.

Hey, all my MAGA brothers & sisters, please defend this. I dare ya. And btw, clearly Trump this time around is the “soft on crime” president. And it’s not even close.👇

That ends now. It’s time for billionaires to pay their fair share.
My ROBINHOOD Act taxes those loans to create revenue to pay for universal childcare, Pre-K and more.
A wrecked overturned boat ✅ so where did the drugs go, if there were any? Show us the drugs.
Oh, you blew them up?
So 2 injured, traumatized sailors with no weapons tried to overturn a damaged boat that weighed umpteen pounds so they could continue a "fight" that didn't exist.

God I'm so pissed at everything today.
Ann Wagner is so scared of Missourians getting to vote on the illegal mid-decade redistricting she went anti-semitic. She wants this gerrymandering so bad to save her. We are going to beat her on any map. 13 years and nothing to show for it but $26M in her portfolio. @wellmanformo.bsky.social

This is so messed up… Amnesty International reports that detainees at Alligator Alcatraz (and at another facility, Krome North Service Processing Center) describe being placed in a “punishment box,” a cage-like structure in the yard so cramped that people could not sit, lie down, or

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3200 workers to “right-size” its business.
The company is one of four giants that control 80% of meat processing.
This corporate monopoly is great for Tyson’s executives and a raw deal for everyone else. Watch:

The U.S. Supreme Court is allowing the GOP gerrymandered Texas congressional map to stand in a 6-3 decision, with Kagan, Sotomayor, and Brown-Jackson dissenting.

Trump just pardoned a man who killed more Americans than Bin Laden on 9/11. Juan Hernández, former president of Honduras, flooded the US with cocaine. During the time he dumped 400 tons of cocaine on US we saw overdoses from cocaine skyrocket. My Daily Dean:

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.
He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.
His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.
Voting for a lifelong racist/misogynist/bigot in the hope that he will somehow treat you kindly, is plain idiocy.
The Somali community now joins several other minority groups in learning this lesson the hard way.
Why have so many corporations donated to Trump’s White House ballroom project?
Could it be because many of them have lucrative government contracts?
Or because they have mergers and other regulatory business before Trump?
I’m sure they just thought a ballroom sounded nice…

NEW: An inside look at how RFK Jr. has walled himself off from government scientists and installed old allies in key positions to advance the vaccine agenda that has animated him for 20 years. "Vaccines must be a culprit," he told me.
