The release of the Epstein files is required by law to happen on December 19th.
On December 18th, we will "officially" be at war with Venezuela.
Bank on it.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Every American who wore the uniform from Valley Forge to now took an oath against tyranny, making them textbook antifascists. The military's entire purpose is defending democracy from authoritarianism. Declaring antifa "domestic terrorism" means our founding principle is now a prosecutable offense.

ICE is unleashing attack dogs on human beings. This is government-branded brutality. Grateful to @SenPattyMurray for bringing Wilmer’s story forward, and to Wilmer for the courage to share it. And ICE? Rot for what you’ve done to our communities.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

I think those of us on the left are being peddled a lot of false hope about the imminent demise of Trumpism. As long as terror stalks the streets and people with guns and badges still follow orders, Trump is in charge and we are not free.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

If a local police department assists ICE in kidnapping people, are they eventually going to be held criminally liable too? Accountability must happen. We can't bend the knee to fascism and police who assist are as culpable a anyone else.
