CO Dem Sens split on NDAA vote. Sen Michael Bennet voted NO, while Sen John Hickenlooper voted YES. Not surprising, Bennet voted No on procedural vote saying he cannot "rubber-tamp President Trump and Secretary Hegseth's lawless Department of Defense." #copolitics www.npr.org/2025/12/17/g...
Senate passes $901 billion defense bill that pushes Hegseth for boat strike video
The Senate has given final passage to the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which raises troop pay by 3.8%. It also pressures Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to provide lawmakers with video of...

Trump says that 100% of jobs added this year were in the private sector. That's true — but only because he's overseen a massive drop in government employees. The rate of new job addition is way under 2024. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

What the fuck?
> Screenshot of a post on X (Twitter) by Stephen Miller (@StephenM), verified. The post reads: “American sweat, ingenuity and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property. These pillaged assets were then used to fund terrorism and flood our streets with killers, mercenaries and drugs.” Below is a quoted post by Marco Rubio (@marcorubio), verified, sharing a screenshot of a statement attributed to Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump). The statement claims Venezuela is surrounded by a large armada, accuses the Maduro government of stealing U.S. oil assets, financing terrorism, drug trafficking, and human trafficking, designates the Venezuelan regime as a “foreign terrorist organization,” orders a total blockade of sanctioned oil tankers, and calls for stolen assets to be returned to the United States immediately. The timestamp shows “5:46 pm · 17 Dec 25” and “229K Views.”

watch a clip from Warnock's Meet the Press interview below and then consider that what he said prompted Trump to have this batshit crazy meltdown:
Raphael Warnock was on Meet the Fake Press with a one sided and very biased Kristen Welker as the Host(ess!). Warnock spent the entire show using Religion to try and divide the Country! If a Republican, in particular ME, made those statements, it would be FRONT PAGE NEWS. He ended by saying that he was going to his Church to preach now, and while I think that’s fine, I do say, “What ever happened to separation of Church and State?” That would be the first thing they would use against us but, actually, it’s something that never much bothered me. Anyway, Warnock is a LIGHTWEIGHT whose wife correctly states that he tried to run her over with a car. Fortunately, she was able to get out of the way, and only almost lost her foot. Warnock is a bad guy, and NBC News, which is second only to ABC Fake News for being the worst, should be ashamed of themselves in allowing garbage “interviews” with untalented and uncaring people to take place. The Public airwaves, which these Networks are using at no charge, should not be allowed to get away with this any longer! They should be properly licensed, and pay significant amounts of money for using this very valuable Public space. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAGA!

The Trump administration is breaking up a research center praised as a “crown jewel” of climate research after accusing it of spreading “alarmism” about climate change.

If only there was a mechanism to remove a mentally disabled president from office. Oh, wait…

If only there was a VP and cabinet majority that understood their duty granted by the 25th amendment…
