'Not a serious argument': Legal experts tear apart Trump’s newest SCOTUS filing https://www.alternet.org/trump-responds-jack-smith-filing/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

The US State Dept statement is sort of funny: "The United States welcomes the release today of all six wrongfully detained U.S. nationals from Venezuela — Joseph Cristella, Eyvin Hernandez, Jerrel Kenemore, Savoi Wright, and two individuals who wish to remain private — as well as the release of four additional U.S. nationals."

Probably includes the guys who invaded the country

I don't even like #Christmas music that much but I really enjoy All Songs Considered's Christmas specials: Old timey radio play vibes, musical guests, and excellent holiday music selections.

They have not done one in several years so I was very pleased they did one this year!
