The President does not get to abuse his power while the American people pay for it. We’ve blocked Trump’s political ads from being created or aired for 14 days and we’ll keep fighting in court to ensure the government is held accountable for their misuse of taxpayer dollars.

Plaintiffs—the D.C. Preservation League and two golfers—asked the judge to immediately halt tree-cutting at East Potomac, as they were informed Sunday that the operation had proceeded “faster than anticipated” and exhausted the original list of 529 trees in a single day.

"This is a tactic we’ve seen before from the Trump-Vance administration — act quickly to irrevocably alter a cherished national landmark, just to advance another one of President Trump’s pet vanity projects,” said Skye Perryman, president and chief executive of Democracy Forward, which represents the plaintiffs. “We are asking the court to act quickly before further unnecessary damage is done to a jewel of our national park system.”

Call Riverbend Tree Service, the folks who cut down 430+ trees against court order. 703-420-5562. As Skye Perryman, Pres. of Democracy Forward said, "We shouldn't normalize the fact that the DoJ...led by the president's AG is literally playing 'Catch Me If You Can' justice." Tell them NO MORE!

The Guardians, the team you can’t turn your back on, did it again. They trailed the Rays for much of Monday night’s opener in the American League Championship Series before running down Drew Rasmussen and his relievers in a 7-3 win at Tropicana Field. ⤵️

Lmao, they just said rhe Guardians had 14 hits tonight. The Yankees had 12 hits total in their 3 games against the Rays.

Watched the Cleveland Guardians beat the Tampa Bay Rays tonight and I had a ball. I, being the classic Cleveland sports fan, had the Guardians scheduling tee times for this coming Saturday. Looks like we’re not getting swept. Happy Days!!!

Adam Copeland @exiledclevelndr.bsky.social · 4h ago

Jose isn’t just extremely talented, he’s always looking for ways to give the #Guardians extra little edges in everything he does. That’s why he’s one of the most intelligent base runners in MLB.

Jason Lukehart@jasonlukehart.bsky.social · 5h ago

If José doesn't take off, those two runs are a ground out instead. I am never going to love another ballplayer the way I love José.

Before you nod off tonight, just remember the Guardians beat the Goliath Rays in game 1. Against their Ace. In their house. Nighty night! 😴

Nathaniel Lowe hits a tiebreaking, two-run single in the eighth inning, Chase DeLauter and Patrick Bailey hit solo homers off Drew Rasmussen, and Cleveland beats Tampa Bay, 7-3. Game 2 is Tuesday at Tropicana Field.

Wall Street Journal reported on a 2024 New Year’s Eve celebration where Ken Paxton partied in Dubai with two fugitives and a woman who wasn’t his wife www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

"As fireworks exploded over the Burj Khalifa skyscraper to welcome 2025, Paxton and his girlfriend Tracy Duhon watched from a luxury high-rise balcony full of people, according to a video of the gathering reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, details of which were contained in court filings and confirmed by people familiar with the matter.

Among those at the event with Texas’ top law-enforcement official were two Americans who had been indicted months before on federal healthcare-fraud charges but failed to return to the U.S., Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, according to the court records and people familiar with the matter. Ahmed, a healthcare executive, had donated $190,000 to Paxton, campaign finance records show, including $25,000 days after he was indicted."

Erik Prince's mercenaries wounded in Africa on a private contract are being treated at Walter Reed—at least 20 of them—just as if they were US uniformed service personnel. Outrageous. www.dailymail.com/news/article...

At least 20 killed or injured, including popular UFC fighter in Africa

Blackwater founder Erik Prince's private security forces suffered a devastating ambush in the Democratic Republic of Congo, leaving around 20 people dead or wounded.

I guarantee you, Husted would have given anything to not have Trump come campaign for him, but he couldn't say no. Then he had to stand there smiling and laughing at Trump's weird jokes while his campaign went down the tubes.

When he gets his supporters to start shooting after her loses the next election, I’ll direct people back to stuff like this as the catalyst for that. This builds the permission structure for more violence “It’ll never happen here” the moderates exclaim, as it literally is happening here right now

Call for contributions to an essay cluster on the Reception of the Early Medieval Insular Church (c.300-1100) ed. by Dr Robyn Stewart & I for the journal postmedieval. Deadline for abstracts is 15 December 2026, with first full drafts due 01 November 2027. Please share! #medievalsky #skystorians

Call for contributions to an essay cluster with the journal postmedieval on The Reception of the Early Medieval Insular Church (c. 300-1100) edited by Robyn Stewart and Ellen Gallimore.

Proposals are invited for articles in any discipline of up to 8000 words on topics relating to religious medievalism in the reception and study of the early medieval Insular Church of Britain and Ireland. From the English Reformation onwards, the study of the early medieval Insular Church featured in heated debates about papal influence on the earliest Christians in Britain and Ireland. It cannot be overstated how integral the belief in an independent early medieval British Church was to Protestant scholars in Britain until the mid-nineteenth century.
Protestantism, with its perceived legacy stretching back to historic figures like Alfred the Great and the foundation of institutions like Parliament, formed a vital aspect of British national identity which was then exported around the world through colonialism. New Protestant outposts in North America, Australasia, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent were intrinsically tied to an early medieval legacy hiding in plain sight. The Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England essentially enshrined anti-Catholicism in popular British identity, which
was visible as much in the editing of early medieval texts as in anti-Irish hiring practices at home and abroad. Ireland’s own early medieval Church and scholastic missionaries present another challenge to national history, such as the development of national legends for its patron saints Patrick, Columba, and Brigid of Kildare.

Please submit abstracts of maximum 500 words and a short biography of maximum 150 words to Robyn Stewart (robyn.stewart@york.ac.uk) and Ellen Gallimore (ellen.gallimore@york.ac.uk) by no later than 15 December 2026. Accepted proposals would be notified in January 2027 with first drafts of full articles due by 01 November 2027.

Donald Trump made a deal with Putin for 36 million barrels of Russian diesel, but that amount won’t move US fuel prices lower. It’ll only fund Putin’s bloody war machine in Ukraine. Putin continues to play Trump like a fiddle.
