No events on Trump's calendar today. He's recalibrating. This is happening with greater frequency now. It's a sign of his advancing decline. They're extending his ability to remain upright and semi-lucid for as long as it's both possible and passable. This is crazy dangerous.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.
He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.
He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

If we write off all news media, we’re playing into Trump’s hands. Some outlets are doing well while others stink.
In this installment of my free Stop the Presses newsletter, I give letter grades to major media outlets. See if you agree.

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.
Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

US blocks Canadian access to cross-border library, sparking outcry
US officials claim move was to curb drug trafficking while Quebec town says it ‘weakens collaboration’ among nations
The US has blocked Canadian access to a library straddling the Canada-US border, drawing criticism from a Quebec town where people have long enjoyed easy entry to the space.
The Haskell Free Library and Opera House is located between Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont. It was built deliberately to straddle the frontier between the two countries – a symbol of cooperation and friendship between Canada and the US. Continue reading...
