The left-hating, Europe-bashing Trump administration administration wants to junk our vaccine policies and copy Denmark’s instead No, it doesn’t make sense Yes, you should be suspicious www.thebulwark.com/p/robert-ken...

concentration camps.

"The swift degradation of CBS's reputation under Weiss’ leadership is just one more proof point that the American media is being commandeered by an aggressive and coordinated conservative movement that is moving as quickly as possible to usurp control and rewrite history in deference to Trump."

“I’m 84 years old. Threats against my life expectancy are kind of hollow. I don’t have much time anyway. I’m more concerned that our democracy is at risk because of the trends against the rule of law.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

"Someone told the party that Donald Trump had invited them all to a party at Mar a Lago. REDACTED told Villeneuve she wanted to go, but Villeneuve told REDACTED it wasn't that kind of party, it was for prostitutes."

This is how dictators talk

The 60 Minutes episode about CECOT was not only worth running, it was an exceptionally powerful work of journalism that made clear the US government has embraced torture. You can read the transcript here: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com "Economic data never tells a perfectly clear story, but lately the contradictions have been especially jarring," Jason Furman writes in a guest essay.

Ironically, there is a measure of Gross Domestic Income that was also released yesterday. It rose just 2.4% www.bea.gov/news/2025/gr... And most of this went to Lutnick and his rich friends

LOL at Cory Booker putting the 60 Minutes story up on his YouTube channel. Paramount won't dare take it down youtu.be/jiehEMlNiCI?...

🙃

Lutnick isn’t stupid. He knows what he’s saying here is a lie. Kellyanne knows this is a lie. But they have nothing but contempt for the Fox audience, and serving up lies to the lemmings has worked so well for so long. A tiny handful are doing well, millions are not.

“MAGA was my idea,” Trump said last month. “MAGA was nobody else’s idea.” And what it may turn into later doesn’t seem to be any of his concern. lnk.thebulwark.com/3MPvxG2

MAGA is freaking out about the fact that I am running for Congress to fight for LGBTQ people and other vulnerable communities. When extremists and bigots attack you, it usually means you are doing something right. Their anti-endorsements are a badge of honor. I will never be intimidated by hate.

It’s interesting that the administration wants you to know that Bari Weiss is in league with them.

😬

A shocking win! The Supreme Court blocked Trump from deploying hundreds of National Guard troops to the Chicago area over the objections of Illinois officials.

Also can some smart lawyer explain to me why the president being on the receiving end of a lawsuit distracts him from his job, using SCOTUS logic, but him suing civilians doesn’t?

I’m sure Trump is innocent of this Epstein stuff because he isn’t on video bragging about grabbing women & hasn’t had 27 different women accuse him of sex assault or bragged about going into beauty pageant dressing rooms when they’re naked or talked about how hot his daughter is.

USA: Land of Price Controls 🇺🇸

Recall Trump claimed he had never been on Epstein’s plane.

BREAKING: A new drop of Epstein files has several mentions of Trump. There are notes from an assistant U.S. attorney in New York about the number of times Trump flew on Epstein's plane — including one flight that included just Trump, Epstein and a 20-year-old woman, according to the notes.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.

CBS has become state regime media.

Trump's name is redacted from files that we know previously contained it...

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

“Never been thought of” cause that math ain't mathin’

CBS furiously trying to take down the 60 Minutes segment about human rights abuses at the El Salvadoran prison that Bari Weiss spiked

I missed the detail where the drawing of the Trump Class “Battleship” has a picture of himself on it.

The USS Bone Spurs

‘It’s not a part time job.’ Oof. Scott Pelley and Sharyn Alfonsi absolutely leveled Bari Weiss at an emergency 60 Minutes staff meeting today.

Bari Weiss lied in her memo. She said segment didn't report administration's legal justification (it does in the very first sentence) and didn't say how many detainees had been charged with crimes as opposed to just those who were convicted (it does). www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

Hilarious. The second any Republican publicly disagrees with Trump about something he attacks them & goes after them. Has primaried dozens. Calls Greene a traitor. Attacked Indiana Repubs. This entire movement is viciously vindictive against anyone who dares to step out of line.

What once was largely limited to Stormfront and the fever swamps of the internet just a few years ago is now accepted discourse from the White House.

CANNOT AIR SOMETHING THAT REFLECTS BADLY ON THE REGIME! Free press indeed.

how bad are things going when Dylan Byers won't even tell the story you want him to

Nobody should watch CBS until this airs. Which may be never after Trump threatened them again. He has the ownership and management he wanted who will now obviously do his bidding. Erika Kirk last week, now this. The MAGA News Network.

there's a set of folks in the Republican party who seem to believe they can hold the line against anti-Indian racism and antisemitism while engaging in a free-for-all hatefest against Haitian, Somalian, and Muslim immigrants and...that's just not how it works, guys www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/o...

Takes halfway through this article to get there but, yeah its not just Fuentes preaching blood and soil politics, the most prominent person doing that, quite explicitly, is JD Vance (like Vivek, a Peter Thiel protegee) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Trump: I did something no other President ever done. I took cognitive tests. By the way, not easy…The first question is like what is this and they show a lion, giraffe, fish and a hippopotamus. And they say, 'Which is the giraffe?'

This @peterbakernyt.bsky.social paragraph is a perfect summary of our descent into authoritarianism. He’s not even editorializing. He’s just reporting what’s happened, and what we’ve become numb to. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/u...

the broad inability to leave a social media platform owned by a white supremacist and prolific manipulator of public perception really is one of the most discouraging data points right now

“.. based on the data we have to date; it looks like manufacturing is experiencing more of a slump than is generally recognized ..” @deanbaker13.bsky.social cepr.net/publications...

Any time Republicans talk about going back to "high-risk pools", what they really mean is effectively kicking millions of people with pre-existing conditions off their health insurance. Here’s how it works:

LANKFORD: In 2010, before Obamacare kicked in, the normal healthcare premium was $215. HUNT: Right. But insurance companies could refuse to cover you for a preexisting condition LANKFORD: That's true.
