When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life
and my children’s lives may be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake

I come into the peace of wild things

Put Putin's 19 Dec speech next to Hitler's 1939 Reichstag address.
Seven steps. Same sequence. Same wording.
"I wanted peace." "They rejected everything." "I was forced to act."
The formula aggressors use to make conquest sound like self-defense hasn't changed in 86 years. Will the response?

Lavish and glowing coverage of Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Kirill Dmitriev in Russian media. These meetings and dealings are portrayed as an exhibition of Russian power and influence.

This is why we do not usually let foreign governments pick American ambassadors. Of course with Trump under Putin's influence, that rule went out the window.
Putin didn’t want Kellogg. He wouldn’t be pliable enough for Russian demands, and was “too hostile.”

Putin wanted a negotiator who “didn’t know much about Russia” and would reliably echo Putin's lines on Ukraine.
Hence the insistence that Witkoff meet Putin without U.S. government or CIA officials.

Rep. Jeffries signaled it is illegal for Trump to rename the Kennedy Center without “legislative action.”

“The Kennedy Center Board has no authority to actually rename the Kennedy Center in the absence of legislative action."

📌It's one thing how absolutely obvious it is we are in the middle of yet another cover-up by Trump's DOJ with the Epstein Files.
But it's quite another that this cover-up has to do with CHILD RAPE, and how damn little Trump's GOP is interested in getting to the bottom of it.

They are grotesque.

I trust major news organizations, members of Congress, and public interest groups are publicizing their secure tip lines so DOJ and FBI employees with knowledge of political interference in the Epstein files review process, can explain safely and confidentially what they saw.

Trump’s reckless tariffs have increased the prices of holiday gifts — costing families an extra $130 on average.

Americans shouldn’t have to pay more to give gifts this holiday season.

There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.
