ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.
“ICE Was Here”: Pope Leo-Inspired Nativity Scene Sparks MAGA Outrage
A Nativity scene missing Jesus — and marked with an “ICE was here” sign — has triggered cries of “politicizing Christmas.” The parish priest says he’s answering Pope Leo's call to welcome stranger.

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.

Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.

This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

Near as I can tell, this is the first impeachment resolution filed out of thousands over the years to directly allege the crime of capital murder.

Rep. Thanedar has filed two articles of impeachment against Hegseth, one for "murder and conspiracy to murder" and the other for "reckless and unlawful mishandling of classified information." 🧵

(Full disclosure: I was happy to consult a bit on drafting this.)

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.

Good.

Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.

She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.

It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

Vaccines will protect us against all sorts of ailments but who will protect us from RFK Jr and his quackery?

Bill Cassidy had a chance to do that and utterly failed and will be forever remembered as a coward.

Donald Trump believes his mission is “righteous enough to justify whatever means were employed,” Jeff Flake writes. On the issue of the administration’s boat strikes, “the public deserves the chance to judge for itself. Release the video, Mr. President”:
When Leaders Mistake Brutality for Strength
Americans may disagree on many things, but they still distinguish between necessary force and needless killing.

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.

Conservative scholars that take originalism at all seriously understand exactly what it means for the 14th amend. But taking originalism seriously was never the political project of the conservative legal mvmt. And it is that political project that today owns the Court.

Saying “I don’t care” if he testifies treats oversight as optional. It implies the administration can decide for itself when Congress gets answers. That’s not how a democracy works. #holdfast #SteadyState
POLITICO: Should Hegseth testify under oath about the second strike on the alleged drug boat?

TRUMP: I don't care if he does. I don't care

POLITICO: Do you think he should?

TRUMP: I don't care. I would say do it if you want.

Nearly 40% of newly minted billionaires this year received their wealth through inheritance.

This is the highest figure since UBS started releasing its annual billionaire wealth report in 2015.

Another reminder that the myth of the "self-made" billionaire is just that, a myth.

Reminder that Russia is planning terrorist attacks in the US, Canada, and Europe. Also, that on the 2024 US election day Russia sent terrorist threats to primarily democrat polling stations to aid Donald Trump. It's all connected.
