Darkest Before the Dawn

December 10, 2025 • MOMocrats

The news this week was DARK. But points of light remain.

Just before the MOMocrats went live on Wednesday, we learned that the United States had seized a Venezuelan oil tanker, which - as Karoli points out - is either piracy… or an act of war.

Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills also discussed last week’s National Security Statement (that reads like a Stephen Miller/Vladimir Putin fever dream), the Supreme Court’s apparent willingness to dismantle the Federal government and (maybe?) toppling the protections of the Fourteenth Amendment.

As for the points of light: You just have to look at yesterday’s special election results in Florida and Georgia where Democrats continued to outperform expectations. Dawn may be imminent, after all.
