The Trump admin says ICE has custody of migrants sent to Guantanamo, but it's DOD guards in Camp 6, a war-on-terror prison. It won't say who is being held incommunicado there, but we are publishing a list of 53 men in Camp 6.

A conservative group backed by a grant from the Heritage Foundation has set up a "DEI Watchlist" with dossiers on civil servants it claims pushed DEI policies at US agencies.
The site shows information and photos of the workers it labels as "targets." Most of those named are minorities or women.

Just a quick note, a tad under ther weather, will circle back with more robust thought. With that:
AVOID USING THE TERM “LEGACY MEDIA”
Each and every time it is used, it normalizes the war against the Constitutionally protected Press, helmed by Elon Musk and his grandpa, J.N. Haldeman.

From the timing (a judge had ordered Trump to sit for deposition next week), it seems ABC News didn't even bother to depose Trump, much less file for summary judgment, and instead paid a $15m bribe to a slush fund Presidential "foundation" not yet established. It's obscene.
JUST IN: A day after Trump and George Stephanopoulos were ordered to appear for depositions, they settled the case.
ABC has agreed to make a $15 million contribution to Trump presidential museum/foundation and air an apology for mischaracterizing the E. Jean Carroll verdict.

President-elect Trump and his allies disavowed the conservative Project 2025 during the election.
Now, his transition team is turning to Project 2025 to help staff the next administration, sources tell @nbcnews.com.

I want to reiterate that it is in no way acceptable for President Biden not to push his Presidential immunity with radical measures. Those saying “Isn’t he doing what he has to do?!” don’t understand the times we are in, or immunity. He doesn’t “have to do” anything.
