UPDATE: No shutdown, and the Senate restored funding for childhood cancer research. For more details, click here. Talk about a war on Christmas! Newsmax host Chris Plante is just delighted at the thought of Americans losing their paychecks, getting delayed at airports and dozens of other lack of services over Christmas because President-Unelected Elon Musk and his Project 2025 enablers are doing their darnedest to shutdown the government. Media Matters caught Plante’s War on Christmas for everyday Americans: CHRIS PLANTE (HOST): I live in Washington, DC, and I work in Washington, DC.

Luigi Mangione, charged in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was extradited to the city from a Pennsylvania prison yesterday. His perp walk was quite the spectacle, reminding me of cinema highlights when super villains like the Joker or Hannibal Lecter were transported. I doubt it had the chastising effect officials thought it would, and Bluesky had similar thoughts: Typically a perp walk is designed to shame the suspect and celebrate the police department’s work and, arguably, no one engages in the practice more than the NYPD. In the case of Luigi Mangione’s perp walk the optics appear to have backfired on the NYPD and the mayor. — Gothamist (@gothamist.com) 2024-12-20T20:01:33.621Zread more

Mitch McConnell's whining about Trump's isolationist policies, willingness to ignore the Senate w/ recess appointments & inane nomination of conspiracy theorist RFK Jr to HHS. Boo-hoo, Mitch. McConnell should look in the mirror if he wants the real culprit in Trump's continued destruction of our democracy. The Peninsula Cooter had a myriad of opportunities to stop Trump, from joining then President Obama to publicly decry Russian attacks on our 2016 election to help Trump deciding to have a spine and vote to convict Donald Trump in his impeachment trial for his insurrection in 2021. All through the disaster that;s been Trump, McConnell's enabled him, protected him & genuflected to him .

You gotta love it when a Democrat gets fired up and speaks what is already running through everyone's mind: They write the bill. They post the bill. They agreed on a bill. And you know what? They got scared because President Musk told them, President Musk said, don't do it, don't do it.

Far-right activist Cameron Macgregor explained the Republican Party hauntingly in a fifteen-second span. "The right is two things: It is Christian nationalism and white nationalism," Macgregor explained. "Blending those two things together is the project that we are engaged upon right now." Via Perplexity: MacGregor is also described as an entrepreneur, investor, and CEO of Ad Actum, a company focused on scaling platforms that fight censorship and protect free speech.
