"'If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient,' Ms. Alfonsi wrote." {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

Sometime around 2029

CBS News(max) is officially cooked. Bari Weiss killed a whole-ass network.

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents: It does not provide immunity for prior crimes. It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet. Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

Oh CBS. What cowards. How I wish for those days when the News would hold a President accountable. CBS News delays 60 Minutes segment featuring investigation into El Salvador’s Cecot megaprison www.theguardian.com/media/2025/d...

The EPSTEIN Files are a much quicker read than I expected.

I’m shocked.

If all of those Epstein redactions were done manually, then a bunch of people saw stuff that they can someday describe to the press.

You would think they’d be better at this with the consequences being so high.

Oh there’s Mike Johnson. Let’s ask him about The Epstein Files.

In Moscow, they call her “our girl Tulsi” for a reason.

Pamela Jo Bondi, doing her part to help an administration that calls itself, with a seemingly straight face, "The Most Transparent in American History."

The Epstein Transparency Act required the release of ALL Epstein files yesterday, not just some of them. Pam Bondi has broken the law. Arrest Pamela Bondi now.

Next time you’re applying for a job, any job, be sure to mention you were able to pick out a giraffe during a regular dementia test. Let’s see how it plays out.

Not in a million years did I think she would bounce back this quickly. Sienna is 🎄 ready ❤️

There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.

McDonald’s USA — Employee: $15/hr, no benefits — Big Mac: $5.79 McDonald’s Denmark — Employee: $22/hr, 6 weeks vacation, 1 year paid maternity leave, life insurance, pension — Big Mac: $5.49 Tell us more about how raising the minimum wage would affect the cost of hamburgers.

The only group of people whose take on the “release” really matters. “‘They are proving everything we have been saying about corruption and delayed justice,’said Jess Michaels, one of the earliest known victims of Mr. Epstein. ‘What are they protecting? The coverup continues.’” Gift link

Q: “Why do you think Trump is working so hard to stop the Epstein files from coming out?” REPUBLICAN Rep. Massie: “These files implicate billionaires, friends of Trump, political donors — and Epstein had ties to 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 intelligence agencies.”

Throw her in jail. Until all the non redacted Epstein Files are released. We don’t care how this might blow up everything. Maybe this is what we need. These children deserve the truth to be released. They need to know that justice for pedo’s exists.

Jack Smith still wants to speak in public: In a new letter, Smith says he wants the American public to "hear the facts" about his two criminal cases against Trump — asking the House Judiciary Committee to release video of his closed-door deposition and schedule an open and public hearing.

The Department of Justice failed to publicly release all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by a Friday deadline, violating a new federal law explicitly mandating that the trove of documents be turned over for public scrutiny, Republican and Democratic lawmakers said.

So, Congress passes a law requiring the release of ALL the Trumpstein files. Any redactions to protect ONLY the victims Trump DOJ releases a highly redacted and incomplete batch after working on them for months, citing various lame excuses for their non-compliance This is what a coverup looks like

It's time for the people's revolution. If Congress does nothing after today's utter travesty, the people must. We cannot continue to hope someone will do something. We have to do it. #EpsteinFiles

Schiff: "Part of this is a consequence I think frankly of Chief Justice Roberts giving the president absolute immunity when it comes to his instructions to the DOJ. He can pretty much order them to do what he wants and know that he will never be held criminally liable."

Schiff: "I think we ought to bring Pam Bondi before the Senate Judiciary Committee demand answers as to why the DOJ has violated the law."

Washington Post's new headline is still wrong. 1. The release was not "huge." 2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files. 3, No mention of extensive redactions. Support independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

This Epstein files "release" is the most disgusting cover up in American history

I can’t wait until these criminals on the Supreme Court are arrested 🤬🤬🤬

Well the Epstein files were worthless. It was blind hope to think it was gonna move the needle. Like the top 10 richest people in the world are in there lmaooo

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

Does it matter whether Trump just illegally grabs money that was appropriated by her committee and diverts it somewhere else? She won’t do anything about it other than prattle about being concerned.

In new public remarks, Putin notes that Trump’s new strategic plan for US foreign policy aligns with Russia over NATO allies.

Trump used a prime-time address—normally reserved for national emergencies—for lies, grievance, and division. No empathy. No plan. Just 18 minutes of noise. If only I could get that time back. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

"One [victim] said that she was brought to Mar-a-Lago by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14, and Epstein kind of nudged Trump and said, 'this is a nice one, right?' If two grown men are staying there with a 14-year-old, what message can you take from that? That's a question for Trump to answer."

Is this the transparency you were promised, MAGA? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2025/dec/19/donald-trump-jeffrey-epstein-venezuela-immigration-north-carolina-rally-us-politics-live-news-updates?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-694557f48f089a379a1e1a83#block-694557f48f089a379a1e1a83
