Our readers are amazing! Because of your donations to the War Within Initiative so far, $3.8 million in medical debt owed by service members, veterans and their families will soon disappear.
Thanks to you, military families around the country will receive a letter telling them their debt has been forgiven and they never have to worry about it again.
How many more people can we give the feeling of relief that comes from opening that envelope? How much more military medical debt can we erase? Can we double that number? Triple it?
Help lift a burden for those who serve. A $10 donation erases $1,000 in military medical debt. Learn more and donate at hrld.us/2UxiV6Y — and please share with your friends!

Right before the holidays, a beloved member of El Portal's police force was removed from duty without official explanation, causing an uproar in the tiny village. (THREAD) hrld.us/2QkG74Y
Rather than barking, biting, or sniffing, the Siberian Husky's role was more therapeutic. One of Arctic's assignments: hanging out with the kids at a local middle school. They didn’t even get to say goodbye before his service was terminated.
When asked about Arctic's abrupt dismissal, the village manager said his gig with police never officially existed. But emails obtained by the @MiamiHerald indicate otherwise.

Going to the border w a group of progressive #veterans & @Ocasio2018 NY14 organizers to respond to the #asylum crisis one of the most important actions this year. It reminded me of our collective power & #military veterans & families' unique strengths & instincts as organizers /1
Coming together quickly for urgent collective action, we realized most of us had a #military affiliation, whether we enlisted ourselves or our mother, uncles, or cousins served in uniform.

Nearly all of us were also #immigrant-connected— immigrants or the children of immigrants
Many #progressive military #veterans are wired w critical, transferable skills that make us incredibly effective organizers. Particularly in high pressure, chaotic situations

*Vets of color in particular hold massively under-tapped insights & analytical power for change* /3

This Christmas Eve mega-thread looks at films that showed on New York City TV stations every Dec. 24 from 1947 to 1983. Most, if not all, of these films showed in other years on other days in December during this 36-year period. Not every Christmas chestnut is listed. Here goes:
NY TV debut 12/24/47 at 8 pm on WCBS' "Film Theatre of the Air'' BEYOND (1940) turned up again on this date in 1948, 1949, 1960 and 1967. SCROOGE (1935), on WNBT at 8, made NY TV debut on Christmas Eve 1944, and would reappear in 1949 and 1950.
NY TV debut 12/24/48 at 7:40 pm on WPIX. Borzage's 1943 all-star extravaganza does not appear to have turned up on NYC TV again on Christmas Eve, at least until after 1984.

The furor over Trump’s family separation has obscured Scott Pruitt’s scandals, but a series of new stories you may have missed have revealed new levels of corruption and mismanagement of the EPA recently. 1/
Emails obtained by @SierraClub revealed that the energy lobbyist who gave Pruitt a sweetheart rent deal was directly involved in management decisions at the EPA.

They show that Pruitt lied repeatedly about his relationship with his lobbyist landlord. 2/
Documents obtained by @theintercept showed that Pruitt had spent thousands on “tactical pants,” but, more significantly, again revised up his spending on travel and security to a new reported fours of $4.6 million in taxpayer funds. 3/

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
