An early Christmas gift for some, and the lighting of the fifth Hanukkah candle for others.

However you celebrate, a small gift as reported below by the New York Times.👇

TAPPER: “This is one of the documents Trump’s DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. ALL BLACK. That’s the ‘transparency’ we’re getting.” #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

Stunning new revelation: Epstein hung out almost exclusively with guys who had black boxes where their heads should be.

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.

We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:

A shame that Demography did not go for an outright retraction. This imposes high cost on potential readers. Hopefully high enough that the original paper does not get read or cited.

Yup. Uneducated, ignorant, low-IQ for sure, without relevant skills, but with dementia.

Gnomon Chronicles @gnomonchronicles.bsky.social · 18d

Donald Trump is uneducated, ignorant, not very intelligent, with *no business skills whatever* — as his string of bankruptcies has made obvious to the world since the 1980s.

Now his dementia is obvious to everyone who cares to see it.

Trump calling Kaitlan Collins “stupid” and “nasty” for asking a basic question about his over budget ballroom is exactly who he is, but it’s still shameful coming from a U.S. president.

A man with unlimited power, and money, yet he’s perpetually angry, petty, and allergic to accountability.👇

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.
