There's a reason Congressional Republicans released Jack Smith's testimony on New Year's Eve -- they are hoping it will be ignored by people busy with their lives tonight. It won't. That damning testimony will be cited again and again, because it's the truth.

Starting today, around 22 million Americans enrolled in Obamacare will see their tax credits run out.

The average recipient will likely see their premiums more than double in 2026.

Certain people — including residents of many states that voted for Trump — will be more exposed to a subsidy lapse.
ACA subsidies are expiring. Here’s who the lapse will hit hardest
Early retirees, mid-income consumers, small business owners and residents of states won by President Trump are among those who'd be affected most.

Looking through the Epstein files on the DOJ website, it is extremely clear that when DOJ admitted that it redacted information related to political figures and government officials that they meant MAGA Republicans. Names of Democrats and even anti-Trump Republicans are left in.

Criminal conduct.

“You have arrived in hell.”

That’s what the CECOT director allegedly told immigrants.

Human Rights Watch said
“Detainees were subjected to constant beatings and other forms of ill-treatment, including some cases of sexual violence”

This is what CBS doesn’t want you to see.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

The fact that our country did this once was already unconscionable.

To have revived it is truly depraved.

Those responsible belong in prison - all the way up the chain of command.
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

It sure looks like Russian intelligence attempted to use military drones to assassinate the President of Ukraine inside an EU country.

Looking forward to more thoughts from Belgium on why freezing Russian assets is an escalatory move that might compromise the peace process.
