Congress is using its marquee defense bill to force the Pentagon into turning over videos of those legally dubious boat strikes.

Lawmakers plan to withhold a quarter of Pete Hegseth's travel budget until the Pentagon provides them with the videos. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
Congress to withhold Pentagon travel funds until it sees boat strike videos
Lawmakers quietly stuck the requirement into their must-pass annual defense policy bill.

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.

THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.

These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.

This Is Fascism.

A video of Nick Fuentes inciting the mob on Jan. 6 is circulating on X - at a time when fissures have erupted over the influence of Fuentes and his “Groypers” within MAGA.

For more on that specific video, and more, see this piece we wrote:

So now MTG is worried that Trump's hateful rhetoric can incite violence. I'm sorry she and her son have been threatened. But Trump has been doing this to others for years, and it apparently never bothered MTG. It's very MAGA to only care about stochastic terrorism when you're the target.
The president who watched Jan. 6 violence on TV and responded to Kevin McCarthy's desperate call from inside the Capitol with "well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you" doesn't think death threats against anyone even a little in his way is a bad thing?

Huh.
Marjorie Taylor Greene claims she shared with Trump death threat she received that he incited, and his response was "extremely unkind"

WATCH: An ICE agent pushes away a home security camera as she approaches a house.

This is what a police state looks like.

Kristi Noem isn’t on the chopping block because she’s cruel and heartless. She’s on the chopping block because she’s not arresting enough immigrant workers.

This is where we are in America.

Every story about a possible bid for an unconstitutional third term for Trump should contain the complete text of the 22nd Amendment
Part of that it can be attributed to our press.

Seldom is there any citation to the constitutional language. Take the “third-term“ debate.

The 22nd Amd. language is only 14 words and could
not be more clear:

“No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.”

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

"In response to Trump's order, attorneys general in 21 states sued the administration.

Now, after a judge's ruling that Trump's actions were unlawful, libraries and museums across the country will have access to money that had been stuck in a months-long limbo..."

Libraries and museums get federal funding back after Trump cuts
Earlier this year, the Trump administration gutted the Institute of Museum and Library Services, leading to canceled federal grants. Now, after a court order, those grants are being reinstated.

Trump and his vile ilk are all about the cruelty. Whether it’s ICE raids, taking away SNAP benefits or denying folks affordable healthcare, Republicans are not working for the American people, they’re working against them. Don’t be gaslit, the Republican Party only cares about themselves.
