The U.S. Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee settled on five options for coins marking America’s 250th anniversary, including Frederick Douglass and Ruby Bridges.

But the Treasury Department instead will include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. https://wapo.st/49c6WCU

Forget about the nonsense stories like the Kennedy Center being renamed or whatever Bari Weiss is doing

At least 3,800 immigrant children were detained in 2025. Now, kids are not supposed to be kept more than 20 days

At least 1,300 of them have been held longer than 20 days-some for over 4 months

They’re scared. Keep going, because they aren’t paid to stop. Their livelihoods depend on taking this on the chin every day. You owe it to your neighbors to make them feel like the worms they are.

Like there’s nowhere they can sleep.
Hennepin County dispatch got a panicked call from a Department of Homeland Security supervisor in Minneapolis requesting assistance because “we only have a few officers but we have 60-70 agitators fighting them.” Hennepin deputies didn’t witness any attacks on agents.

No, this is not why there was an antisemitic terror attack in Australia today. You really can critique the actions of the state of Israel without saying that they are responsible for all antisemitism across the entire world. Truly, you can.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

Horrified by the terrorist attack in Australia targeting Jewish people celebrating the first night of Hanukkah.

Antisemitism has no place in this world.

As so many light their candles tonight, we’ll come together to pray for a future where the light will triumph over darkness.

I am, in fact, not over this miscarriage of justice and subversion of the constitution ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra said DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”
