BREAKING: The Supreme Court of the United States has DENIED Trump’s request to halt his sentencing hearing in criminal hush money case. The high court’s order clears the way for Trump’s sentencing to proceed tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.

I’m wondering if Trump’s news conference talking about seizing Greenland and the Panama Canal is a distraction for the legal battles waging this week with his criminal sentencing and the release of the Jack Smith report.

How am I first learning of this tradition? #duvetknowitschristmas

1/ So, where were we? Oh yep, #duvetknowitschristmas. Firstly, some admin: Twitter/X has evidently been run into the ground by a preening, self-radicalised clot, so while there's a slim possibility that this annual celebration might be thriving over there, I won't know cos I won't be looking.

JUST IN: A day after Trump and George Stephanopoulos were ordered to appear for depositions, they settled the case. ABC has agreed to make a $15 million contribution to Trump presidential museum/foundation and air an apology for mischaracterizing the E. Jean Carroll verdict.
