The MAGAfication of Norman Rockwell
Trump uses the artist’s work—like other cultural icons—to promote Gestapo tactics and nativist ideas.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

This is just comically racist:. There is something a bit “off” about Mamdani. Sorta like Obama.
This is how Christopher Caldwell begins his essay on Zohran Mamdani for the Claremont Review of Books.

Why are these people such freaks?

Every day, Ukrainian fighters of the 1st Assault Regiment go out for training and perform a set of yoga exercises.

Dec 26, 1941. Churchill addresses Congress:
"I have been in full harmony all my life with the tides which have flowed on both sides of the Atlantic against privilege and monopoly...In my country as in yours public men are proud to be the servants of the state and would be ashamed to be its masters."

Everyone should read this week’s WSJ story on Trump selling pardons. It’s some of the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen—you can literally corner him at one of his lame parties and walk away with a pardon. How is this not the biggest story in the country?

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.

"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

I have said this before, I will say this again: arming the Ukrainians to defend themselves is the best bang-for-buck in defense spending in decades.

Give Ukraine munitions and they will reliably put those explosives on America's enemies.

Just not on Trump's enemies and thus the problem.

From Zelenskyy readout just now

“The Head of State emphasized that, in the coming days, much can be accomplished both bilaterally between Ukraine and the United States, as well as with the Coalition of the Willing partners.”

See, two tracks
To be clear, you need to see the two separate tracks when it comes to the negotiations - 1. US wants to monetize UA assets (Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, etc) - that’s Sunday meeting in Florida. 2. US/EU/UA 20-point ceasefire negotiation, which needs Russia’s agreement to be valid

“But it's also clear that there is likely something in the files that further incriminates him.” This is what I think, too. Horrible as the facts at hand are, there must be something else, something verging on the unimaginable.

The sheer disregard shown by this regime for the humanity of trans kids and their families is breathtakingly cruel. The Dr. Oz-run Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has proposed two rules that would severely restrict access to gender affirming care for young Americans.

🚨 It’s not too late to take ACTION. Last week, the house passed H.R. 845, a bill that would strip protections for gray wolves and block the public from challenging it in court. It now heads to the Senate. Call your Senators and urge them to vote NO: www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm
