I know in the hustle of the holiday season that it's often forgotten that not everyone enjoys this time of year. Grief and loss, economic pain, loneliness/isolation can make this season painful. If the holidays (or winter in general) are getting you down, here are support resources to save/share.

This is a disgraceful and historically ignorant statement to hear from an American leader.
He doesn’t speak for most Americans. And he definitely doesn’t speak for most American veterans.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.
That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

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.

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday?
Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

Seth Watkins' family health insurance premiums are about to go up from around $600 a month to around $2,300 a month, with a $9,200 deductible per person.
A lot of Iowa farmers are in a similar situation.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.
Here he is taking the photo.

This is really incredible. The government's battle to deport Abrego Garcia has apparently been based on a lie from the start. Not even the "gang affiliation" lie or the "human smuggling" lie, but the more basic assertion that he was ordered to be deported in the first place.
🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.
