More resignations in the DOJ--these from career officials in Minnesota office objecting to DOJ's push to investigate the widow of Renee Good and reluctance to investigate the shooter, Ross. A seismic scandal - This is the biggest politicized mess of a case in memory and it's not going away.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Week 1. We invaded Venezuela. We killed the ACA subsidies. We destroyed the Kennedy Center. We murdered a woman in cold blood over deportations. We threatened Greenland, now we are offering them $100,000 per person to allow us to take over their country.
First 7 days. Can we survive a year of this?

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Strawberry Creek Park is West Berkeley’s hidden gem to picnic, sunbathe and splash www.berkeleyside.org/2025/12/31/s...

This wonderful park provides a compelling argument for cafes - or at least cafe trucks - in all of our parks. (See also, Retiro Park in Madrid - studded with cafes. Paradise).

Once part of a railroad route, the three-block-long park is now a weekend destination for those living well beyond Berkeley's Poet’s Corner.

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

At some point someone just needs to say “you are an indecent person, you are lying to cover the slaughter of defenseless men, you know you are lying, and even under the tenets of your own professed faith you will certainly burn in hell if you continue down this path”
WELKER: Isn't it possible that even the act of taking off a t shirt could've been part of an attempt to get attention for help?
