King Charles III used his annual Christmas message to make a plea for “compassion and reconciliation,” saying that in times of global uncertainty, people can find strength in diversity “to ensure that right triumphs over wrong.”
King Charles Urges ‘Compassion’ and Finding Strength in Diversity in Annual Christmas Message
His annual Christmas message was more outward-looking than last year’s, when he focused on the medical workers who had helped him and his daughter-in-law after their cancer diagnoses.

An aged helicopter fleet and inexperienced pilots from nearby Fort Belvoir had raised “widespread concern” among local pilots before a midair collision in Washington killed 67 people in January.

The Democratic Socialists of America are still a small political group. But as economic inequality keeps burning, members are attracting interest and getting elected to office. Now activists are dealing with the opportunities and tensions of the moment, writes Mara Gay.

DOJ Epstein file release: Documents online Friday, certain ones (with Trump images) gone Saturday, according to NPR. #EpsteinDocuments
The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE.

Busted: That 'Epstein files' photo implying victims is just a public 2003 fundraiser shot of Clinton, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, and family. No new scandal here.
The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
