Fetterman: If you want Trump to fail, you're "rooting against the nation"
The Pennsylvania Senator's transformation into the next Joe Manchin is accelerating at remarkable pace. In the past few weeks, he's praised Trump's pick for UN Ambassador, Elise Stefanik, for her fanatical support for Israel's genocidal war against Hamas and has floated supporting Trump's wildly unqualified picks for Defense Secretary and FBI director. Now, he's openly praising Trump for his "undeniable political talent," saying that he never believed Trump was a fascist, and saying that he isn't "rooting against him" because that would mean rooting for America to fail. Ring ring, hello, it's the 1930s calling and they'd like their appeasement of a fascist would-be-dictator back!

Biden signs 50 bills into law on Christmas Eve
President Biden signed 50 bills into law on Christmas Eve, as the year and his time in office draw to a close. The bills Mr. Biden signed include socialite and activist Paris Hilton's bill to protect teenagers living in residential treatment facilities, a bill setting anti-hazing standards on college campuses, and a bill preventing members of Congress from collecting pensions if convicted of certain crimes. Considering how the current GOP-controlled Congress only got a government funding deal passed by the skin of their teeth and was one of the least productive Congresses in American history, who knows when the next bill might get passed.

Take Action: End the electoral college!

Trump says DoJ will "vigorously" pursue death penalty after Biden commutations

Biden administration scraps rules to expand birth control access
The Health and Human Services Department announced it was abandoning rules "to focus their time and resources on matters other than finalizing these rules," closing the door on contraceptive access for 130,000 people. Defeat is a bitter pill to swallow indeed.
