Trump Tinsel: Adorn your tree in shredded Epstein documents that you shouldn't try piecing together

What is crucial today is unity between Europe and Ukraine, as well as unity between Europe, Ukraine, and the United States. I am grateful to the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, and Germany – @Keir_Starmer, @EmmanuelMacron, and @bundeskanzler – for organizing the meeting and for each of their personal contributions on the path toward achieving peace. Today, we held a detailed discussion on our joint diplomatic work with the American side, aligned a shared position on the importance of security guarantees and reconstruction, and agreed on the next steps. We also held a separate discussion on further defense support for Ukraine. I am grateful to the leaders for their willingness to stand with our people and help us on the path toward bringing peace closer.

Ukrainian marines recaptured Ivanivka in a combined arms assault after Russian troops attempting to establish a bridgehead across the Vovcha River found themselves trapped in a kill zone. The 37th Marine Brigade launched the operation under dense fog, which neutralized Russia's drone advantage. A Leopard 1A5 tank struck Russian positions from a concealed location while fiber-optic FPV drones hunted soldiers one by one. Marines then descended from high ground overlooking the village and cleared enemy dugouts in close-quarter combat. 53 Russian soldiers were killed. The remaining 19, recognizing that withdrawal across the river was impossible and no rescue was coming, surrendered. Ukrainian forces advanced 1.5 km across a 5 km front, pushing the Russians back behind the Vovcha River. If Russia's command decides to assault this sector again, they will now face a reinforced Ukrainian defense holding the high ground - and have to cross the river a second time. 🔗Read more in our Frontline report: euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/…

California asked the Trump Administration back in February to request relief from Congress for the Los Angeles fires. Nearly 11 months later, Trump has failed to send Congress that request — and his FEMA won't even schedule a meeting to discuss it.

He was 💯 right. Every single word. When I was Minister of Defence, we shared critical satellite intelligence with the Ukrainians *over the objections* of the Obama Administration.

As peace talks are ongoing, the EU remains ironclad in its support for Ukraine. Our financing proposals are on the table. The goal is a strong Ukraine, on the battlefield and at the negotiating table. We reaffirmed to President @ZelenskyyUA that the EU remains steadfast and committed to its principles. Ukraine’s sovereignty must be respected. Ukraine’s security must be guaranteed, in the long term, as a first line of defence for our Union. These priorities were are the center of our discussions with @SecGenNATO Europe will keep contributing to all efforts for a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

Video from @grantpalmertv shows hundreds of University of Oklahoma students rallying in support of the instructor targeted by Turning Point USA for giving a student a zero on an assignment.

THANK YOU, CONGRESSMAN! I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM (AMERICA’S MOST BELOVED GOVERNOR!), PROUDLY ACCEPT THIS AWARD AND THE TAXPAYER-FUNDED $1 BILLION CRYPTO PRIZE THAT COMES WITH IT. I WILL IMMEDIATELY USE IT TO BREAK GROUND ON NEWSOM TOWER IN SAUDI ARABIA, A STRUCTURE SO MASSIVE IT MAKES TRUMP’S LITTLE BEACH SHACK LOOK LIKE JD'S DOGHOUSE. A HISTORIC DAY FOR HUMANITY!!! — GCN

“I ask questions, not permission” 🔥 Everyone in the MSM should be like Shero Megan Cassella @mmcassella @cnbc

🚨BREAKING: Congress will WITHHOLD Pentagon Funds until Trump and Hegseth show the boat strike video.

KNOWING THERE WOULD BE FAMILIES PRESENT, DONALD TRUMP WORE HIS SPARE CHIN TO COVER UP HIS NECK. WE THANK HIM.

In deliberate show of unity, Europe pushes back on U.S. peace proposal for Ukraine: “No one should doubt our support for Ukraine…I am skeptical of some of the details in the document from the U.S. side”, says German Chancellor Merz alongside Zelensky, Starmer and Macron.

For the first time ever, the most famous American in the world is not the president or a Hollywood icon or tech billionaire — it’s the pope. This is more than a Catholic triumph; it’s a cultural watershed for the United States. In a society that often equates American influence with might or money or celebrity, now our foremost representative on the global stage is a humble man in a white cassock, preaching love, justice, and mercy.

Does that include the $650 million paid to Trump Jr? Y'all need to start talking about this shit. Don't let them keep the narrative that they are bombing boats to stop drugs. Fentanyl doesn't even come through Venezuela. Maybe oil could have some support, but the government contract grift is pointed at rare earth minerals. Because you know DAMN WELL those Trump regime assholes ALL use the shit out of cocaine. I'm surprised Don Jr isn't out there with a speed boat collecting floating bales like he's Sonic collecting rings.

We won our lawsuit and stopped the Trump administration from blocking an array of new wind energy projects. This is a big victory in our fight to keep tackling the climate crisis and protect one of our best sources of clean, reliable, and affordable energy.

62 days underground. Two infantrymen from Ukraine’s 31st Brigade, Bohdan and Ivan, survived in a 3-square-meter basement near Pokrovske. No light, no communication, food and water dropped by drone. Any detection by a Russian drone meant instant death, The Guardian. 1/

America is about to become unrecognizable. CEO’s, law firms, and elected officials need to get off their knees and fight for something.

WOW! THANK YOU!! — GCN

He wanted to call her a stupid bitch… give it about a month and he will. And A+ to the press pool yet again for not saying a goddamn fucking word. Profiles in courage.
