Do you remember Betty Reid Soskin? She was the oldest serving National Park Ranger in the United States, we celebrated her retirement at the age of 100.

Betty Reid Soskin (1921–2025) passed away on Sunday, but she lived an extraordinary life.

SCOTUS has lost all credibility. I don't know why we even care anymore what they say and do. They are puppets for authoritarian rule.

Very funny to see Alito complain about the court skipping full briefing and oral arguments for a quick shadow docket decision when he has signed onto innumerable orders that pull the exact same tricks and rebuked colleagues who complain about it ... www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient.

The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.
🚨🚨 SCOOP @ms.now : The Department of Veteran Affairs has quietly implemented its abortion ban following a DOJ memo issued last week.

This will affect 9 million veterans and their dependents, and has been a long time coming: It was outlined in Project 2025.

Take 5 minutes during your holiday time and CALL YOUR CONGRESSFOLKS!
Or use Resistbot or 5calls.
Whatever it takes.

Tell them you want your SSA offices **that you pay for** fully staffed.
Call your Congress folks and senators and tell them you expect the SSA offices that are funded by your taxpayer dollars to be adequately and appropriately staffed in order to provide the level of service you expect. Reassigning more folks to phones will lead to more delays in appointments and

😂😂😂 maybe this was the only positive of DOGE
I'm an IT nerd and the deluge of ads I get for fed gov jobs brings me such nihilistic joy 💀

I'm certain they've purged at least 99.9% of competent technical staff

God knows how many people it takes to print something at the White House today....

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

Admittedly, we should've seen ICE Santa coming when they introduced the Elf on the Shelf.
ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.

News:

Restrictions on the release on the release of Volume II of Jack Smith's report concerning Trump's Espionage Act prosecution will EXPIRE on Feb. 24, 2026.

BUT Judge Cannon will let Trump DOJ try to delay it further and DENIES a First Amendment group's bid to intervene.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

First time riding ST line 1 to SeaTac airport. The fare meter is on the ground floor. I expected it to be on the train-- like in Europe. So I guess I'm riding free?

It's 53 in seattle today. Crazy.
Setting new Christmas warm records has "been a thing" in recent years, so Thursday's forecast continues that trend.

Here are the daily warm records (both highs and warm lows) set/tied in the US this century, per NOAA/NCEI.

And, as you might guess, far outnumbers Christmas cold records.
