Looks like there was another Nativity scene critical of ICE in Charlotte that a guy walking by just…tore down in front of CNN cameras.

Apparently the pastor isn't pressing charges, because the guy managed not to break anything in the process. www.cnn.com/2025/12/12/u...

When @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered a Goodreads page tied to the email of a top Pentagon official featuring “Asian wife sharing” books and other pornographic works, he did what any reporter would do: ask the Pentagon questions.

The very next day, a threatening email from Jack Posobiec arrived.
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

Scoop: They tried to bury this news on Black Friday, but, well...

Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov.

We called the auditor.

He resigned in August.

That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks.

On committing war crimes "I was just following orders" will not save them. Remember the Nuremberg trials? But they can't seem to get their stories straight on who gave the order. Trump? Hegseth? Some rando officer? The international community is bearing down on Trump for this.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

A central issue at trial for the My Lai massacre in Vietnam was whether an Army lieutenant, or the Army captain who was his superior, was responsible for the order to leave no survivors.

Neither suggested the SecDef would have given such a command.

A reminder that the current SECDEF caught the eye of the president by championing the pardoning of American war criminals — men whose own units testified against them, and who were convicted by military juries

He should never have been nominated for, let alone confirmed in, this job

We are not in a war. Killing soldiers on a street corner in D.C. is an act of war only if you are a legitimate combatant. Calling it terrorism is charitable; it is simply murder. It is also what I've been worried about for weeks. Soldiers on the street can't police. All they do is present a target.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

I’ve been REALLY reticent to use the term “disappear” to refer to people arrested by immigration enforcement, even when there’s now routinely a lag of hours or days before loved ones know where they’re being held.

This is an actual literal disappearance. www.ms.now/msnbc/news/i...
A man missing for weeks and the immigration system that lost him
Vicente Ventura Aguilar got picked up last month, but his family doesn’t know if he’s dead or alive. ICE says he’s not in their system, so they say they can’t help.

BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee believes there has been "an intense White House cover-up" of Epstein files, according to sources who spoke to MSNow.

The coverup is worse than the crime. Will this lead to Trump's downfall?
