Kyiv blackout. Some neighbors held an improvised picnic: tea, mulled wine, conversation, support. “All Kyiv without power—so why not a picnic with the neighbors?” This is how the city stays alive: staying close, staying human, keeping each other warm.

Gallego: "What type of man decides to walk around with a phone camera & at same time tries to make life & death decisions, then decides to pump one bullet that may have been forward-facing, but clearly the other 2 were on the side. Who is he? Clearly not someone who should be in law enforcement."

Great piece by my Cato colleague. “Since July, immigration agents have shot at least six people behind the wheel of a vehicle. The same playbook is used each time: the agent says they “feared for their life” as a vehicle was “weaponized” against them. Juries should decide, but we tie their hands.
Opinion | Renee Good wasn’t the first person shot in her car by ICE. The justification followed a familiar script.
Mike Fox: The officer who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis might never have to defend his actions before a judge or jury.

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions
FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

Venezuela could make environmental pollution worse in the US. Why? Venezuelan oil is extra-heavy with high sulfur and carbon content, requiring more energy to extract and process and releasing more CO2 and methane emissions than lighter (such as US) oil: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/c... (gift). 🌎

Trump’s plan to open California’s coastline to oil drilling threatens more than ocean life
OPINION: The Trump administration plans to open the length of California’s coast to offshore oil and gas development, regardless of the law and the consequences.
