The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care.
We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

The act of gathering is an important action that can actually help you live longer by combatting loneliness.
According to former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, loneliness heightens the risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety, and other conditions.

Probably the best Christmas Eve news I've ever reported:
The VA is legally required to build homes for unhoused veterans in Los Angeles — and homeless vets nationwide might be able to sue for shelter, too.

The homeless veterans who sued the VA for access to housing in Los Angeles won their appeal against the government yesterday.
The decision was complex, but may be consequential in eliminating veteran homelessness across the country.

I've been a fan of @taberski.bsky.social's podcasts for ages—especially when some of them (9/12, Surviving Y2K) collided with topics that @vermontgmg.bsky.social and @longlead.com covered very differently in our LONG SHADOW podcast (see seasons 1 and 4).

Podcaster Dan Taberski (@taberski.bsky.social) isn’t concerned with knowing how he’ll tell the story before he jumps into making one of his “audio documentaries.” It’s something he’s learned over time — with his seventh show coming out next summer.

Okay, I admit it. I would watch one of Bari Weiss’s CBS debates — if, and only if, it was about whether “The Last Jedi” was a good Star Wars film.
