Kristi's doing a great job,

The Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit today to prevent President Donald Trump from replacing a beautiful picture of Glacier National Park with a close-up of his own face on the America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Annual Pass, reads a press release. Kieran Suckling, executive director of the Center, blasted the president's image being used on passes as his crassest, most ego-driven action yet.

I know the companies very well. I know what they're doing, but I have to see, I have to see what percentage of market they have.

"I watched many of my colleagues go from making fun of him, making fun of how he talks, making fun of me-constantly-for supporting him, to when he won the primary in 2024, they all started-excuse my language, Lesley-kissing his ass, and decided to put on a MAGA hat for the first time." She others are "terrified" of receiving the same treatment that she got, namely after Trump got "extremely angry" at her for pushing for the release of the Epstein files.

Krugman, who has made no secret of his contempt for cryptocurrencies (or for Trump and Trumpism), argues their rise is inextricably linked with the Trump administration's raft of friendly policies and actions toward crypto investors and exchanges. That includes calling for the creation of a government Bitcoin reserve, as well as signing an executive order in August to allow U.S. citizens to invest retirement savings in cryptocurrency, as well as other alternative assets.

At the top of the page, the text reads: Misleading. Biased. Exposed. The feature names the Boston Globe, CBS News and the Independent as media offenders of the week, accusing them of inaccurately portraying Trump's remarks about six Democratic lawmakers who released of video encouraging military members to not follow illegal orders. The controversy arose after Trump accused Democrats of seditious behavior, punishable by death on social media. He also reposted a statement including the words: hang them.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a longtime Trump ally who recently split with the president, made headlines last week by announcing her plans to resign in January. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a Trump critic, told Axios he nearly resigned over the Trump administration's 28-point peace plan for the Russia-Ukraine war. "I have made the decision, after conversations with my beautiful bride and my girls over the Thanksgiving holiday, to focus on my family and return home after this Congress," Nehls said in a statement.

The Times's reporting is accurate and built on first hand reporting of the facts. Name-calling and personal insults don't change that, nor will our journalists hesitate to cover this administration in the face of intimidation tactics like this. Expert and thorough reporters like Katie Rogers exemplify how an independent and free press helps the American people better understand their government and its leaders.

SW: Yuri, Yuri, here's what I would do. My recommendation. YU: Yes, please. SW: I would make the call and just reiterate that you congratulate the president on this achievement, that you supported it, you supported it, that you respect that he is a man of peace and you're just, you're really glad to have seen it happen. So I would say that. I think from that it's going to be a really good call.

I hope the visit of President Zelensky will take place as soon as possible, because ... it will be help President Trump to continue his historical mission to end this war. Because [Trump] can say: 'Look, this is confirmed and agreed, our position with the Ukrainians. We support it, and we continue now to speak with the Russians.'

I don't want to hear any politicians call each other fascists, authoritarians, wannabe-dictators, communists none of that kind of rhetoric anymore. It's all dead, because if you call someone that, and then turn around and say, But I'm willing to work with them, it looks hypocritical. And there is no such thing as working with uh fascists. That's not how fascism works. Fascism isn't a normal political disagreement.
