The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed Texas to use a congressional map that will boost President Donald Trump’s effort to keep Republicans in control of Congress, blocking a lower court decision that found the new boundaries were likely unconstitutional because they were drawn based on race.

The court issued a brief unsigned opinion granting Texas’s request over the objection from the court’s three liberal justices.

Though the court’s order was not signed, several justices joined two separate opinions laying out their views.

Video of Boat Strike Shows Survivors Waving Before Fatal Follow-Up Attack

what are they doing now

they appear to be waving sir

WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS AGGRESSION

According to intelligence collected by US forces, the struck boat planned to “rendezvous” with the second vessel and transfer drugs to it, Adm. Frank Bradley said during the briefings, but the military was unable to locate the second vessel. Bradley argued there was still a possibility the drug shipment could have ultimately made its way from Suriname to the US, the sources said, telling lawmakers that justified striking the smaller boat even if it wasn’t directly heading to US shores at the time it was hit.

Boat strikes: Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley, the military officer who oversaw the controversial attack on an alleged drug boat, told lawmakers yesterday that he consulted a military lawyer before approving a secondary strike that killed survivors, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his briefings. Most Republicans are saying the strikes were justified and Democrats are suggesting a war crime may have been committed.

The Supreme Court Is Poised to Revive a Key Feature of Nixon-Era Corruption
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/12/supreme-court-nixon-era-corruption-trump.html

Why, exactly, do these plaintiffs have standing to challenge a law that will not harm them whatsoever? Unclear. What’s all but certain, however, is that the Supreme Court will glide past these problems, embracing yet another fake case in pursuit of a broader ideological agenda.

It's a troubling story

Trump administration says Europe faces 'civilisational erasure'
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c04vdengk3do?

President Donald Trump's administration has warned that Europe faces "civilisational erasure" and questioned whether certain nations can remain reliable allies, in a new strategy document that puts a particular focus on the continent.

The 33-page National Security Strategy sees the US leader outline his vision for the world and how he will wield US military and economic power to work towards it.

Trump described the document as a "roadmap" to ensure America remains "the greatest and most successful nation in human history".

European politicians have begun to react, with Germany's Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul saying his country did not need "outside advice".

The Department of the Interior (DOI) recently announced its "resident-only patriotic fee-free days" for 2026, and missing from the list were MLK Day, which has been a National Park fee-free day since 2018, and Juneteenth, which was introduced as a fee-free day in 2024.

In place of these days commemorating American history, civil rights and equality, the Trump administration has instead opted to celebrate additional former presidents' birthdays and Flag Day, which is also President Donald Trump's birthday.

And his penis shrank 3 sizes that day

The drug boat was not even heading toward America.

I can't believe the weekend host of Fox and Friends can be so incompetent at running the US military. His flag day devilled eggs recipe was such a hit at my andrenachrone and cheese tasting.

The main destination of the country's oil was again China, which received about 80% of total exports or some 746,000 bpd. Venezuela increased oil exports to the U.S., carried out by PDVSA's partner Chevron (CVX.N) , opens new tab, to some 150,000 bpd, from 128,000 bpd in October.

Immigrants kept from Faneuil Hall citizenship ceremony as feds crackdown nationwide

Boston, Massachusetts said:

Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday — known as the country’s cradle of liberty — for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn’t proceed due to their countries of origin.

The same situation is playing out at naturalization events across the country as USCIS directed its employees to halt adjudicating all immigration pathways for people from 19 countries deemed to be “high risk”.

Trump made big gains with Latino voters in 2024. Now they’re up for grabs again

TL;DR: Latino voters are angry that leopards are eating their faces and are mad at Trump/Republicans because of it.

That article about Latinos said:

In a massive survey of Latinos released late last month, the nonpartisan Pew Research Center found him declining among all major groups in the Latino community — with even about one-fifth of Latinos who said they voted for Trump just a year earlier saying they disapproved of his performance as president.

Soooo.... 80% of Latinos still approve of Trump?

In a joint press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Jerusalem on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that Israel cannot accept a Palestinian state.

He stressed that Israel will retain full security control from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean, rejecting any arrangement that would allow a Palestinian state to threaten its existence.

"The goal of a Palestinian state is to destroy the only Jewish state. They already had a state in Gaza, a de facto state, and it was used to try to destroy the only Jewish state," Netanyahu said.

While he said broader peace with Arab states remains possible, Netanyahu added that Israel will not agree to the creation of a state that will "commit to the destruction" of Israel at its doorstep. He also warned of a resurgence in global antisemitism and defended Israel’s military actions as a response to existential threats from Iran and its proxies.

Netanyahu highlighted a historic shift in Israel–Germany relations, noting that 80 years after the Holocaust, Israel is now helping to defend Germany – a historic change, as he described it.

Answering press questions, when asked if he would leave politics in exchange for a pardon, Netanyahu responded in Hebrew: "No, no."

Regarding the second phase of the peace plan, he emphasized that Hamas must disarm and said the second phase of the peace plan is "close."

“We’ll be having very important conversations at the end of the month on how to ensure that this second stage is achieved," Netanyahu said, referring to his planned visit to the White House to meet President Trump at the end of the month.

Detained illegal immigrants will face $5K 'apprehension fee': Border Patrol chief

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks announced that nearly all illegal immigrants detained will be charged a $5,000 "apprehension fee."

In a post on X on Thursday, Banks said illegal immigrants ages 14 and older who entered the country without inspection will face a fee, a provision included in the "big, beautiful bill," which President Donald Trump signed into law in July.

https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-mortgage-fraud-florida-principal-residences?

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a “Bermuda style” home in Palm Beach, Florida, pledging that it would be his principal residence. Just seven weeks later, he got another mortgage for a seven-bedroom, marble-floored neighboring property, attesting that it too would be his principal residence.

In reality, Trump, then a New Yorker, does not appear to have ever lived in either home, let alone used them as a principal residence. Instead, the two houses, which are next to his historic Mar-a-Lago estate, were used as investment properties and rented out, according to contemporaneous news accounts and an interview with his longtime real estate agent — exactly the sort of scenario his administration has pointed to as evidence of fraud.

Trump hung up on a ProPublica reporter after being asked whether his Florida mortgages were similar to those of others he had accused of fraud.

In response to questions, a White House spokesperson told ProPublica: “President Trump’s two mortgages you are referencing are from the same lender. There was no defraudation. It is illogical to believe that the same lender would agree to defraud itself.”

Every accusation is a confession
