Cloudy future for bourbon has Jim Beam closing Kentucky distillery for a year Jim Beam is pausing production at a Kentucky distillery for at least a year starting in 2026. The decision comes as the whiskey industry faces tariffs and declining demand.

Dear Kentucky Trumpers…

Tarrifs and Canada boycotting American whiskey.

Trump did this.

Merry Christmas!

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, β€˜Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

This is where America is now

George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Iraq war veteran. He was detained by ICE and held in solitary confinement for three days without explanation.

George shared his story before Congress to make sure no American has to endure the same abuse he did.

What Stuart Stevens says is perfectly obvious, and something you will not see reflected in any of the major media coverage.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

This Is the Shutdown That Doesn’t End It just goes on and on, my friends.

For the first time in shutdown history, neither party seems to see an upside to ending the government closure, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

Miller, Noem, Rubio moving into housing reserved for military officers Noem was β€˜living for free’, Washington Post reports, as top Trump advisers scoop up homes meant for military commanders, citing security concerns

In late-stage authoritarian systems, physical retreat signals absolute democratic decay. As seen in Russia, where Putin’s elite withdrew to militarized compounds, governance shifts from civic accountability to coercive preservation. Washington’s new bunkering reflects the same authoritarian drift.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

US β€˜on a trajectory’ toward authoritarian rule, ex-officials warn A network of former intelligence and security officers says democratic decline is accelerating under Trump’s rule

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us β€” and what the world outside is telling us β€” the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic.

If Trump’s DOJ loyalists help him take $230M they can be held accountable:

State bars
DOJ IG
Office of Prof. Responsibility
Litigation

These aren’t minor ethics lapses. They are a coordinated abuse of power

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.
