these are the kind of numbers that, *at the end of a president's term*, herald a total wipeout for his party in the next election. we are in december of year one.

Is Phillips Rivers the fattest QB in NFL history? My boy is chunky

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

The right, along the Roberts Court, is trying to nullify the Reconstruction amendments guaranteeing equality under the law, in order to restore the Antebellum Constitution, which envisions “liberty” as an eternal aristocracy of race and class (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

They don't care that the cover-ups are clumsy. Their goal isn't to take over the news, it's to destroy it. To destroy our sense-making capacity. To destroy truth.

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

I have never, once in my career, heard of a news org responding to a decline-to-comment with, “Well, we’ll hold it until you do.” The reason is obvious — it gives the subject of your story a pocket veto.

Bari only pulled this program after the promos started airing, which means she probably got a phone call. So she's not just bad at her ostensible job of running CBS news, but she's also bad at her *actual* job of running interference for the Trump admin

And there it is...

"effectively unprecedented"

Trump's in the Epstein files over 600 times.

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?

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

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

“60 Minutes” abruptly dropped a segment about Trump deportees sent to a megaprison in El Salvador Sunday — two hours before it was set to air

Sorry but this is HOF stuff right here www.wwltv.com/article/spor...

is that good

Get you a tight end who can also throw 40 yd touchdown passes (and run, block, return kicks, etc)

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

An attorney couldn't stop using Grok (?!) to help draft filings, producing "a flood of tainted filings" & apparently triggering the implosion of a law firm & 3 lawyers' careers 🤖😵 The court called her misconduct "particularly egregious & prolific" cases.justia.com/federal/dist...

Wait, Bowman hosted Fuentes on a podcast?? I must have missed that!!

Perfect throw but perfect coverage

Taysom Hill should be considered for the Hall of Fame.

This headline is so misrepresentative of Bowman’s actual statement that it’s borderline defamatory, and you’re a fool for getting duped by it

the full quote pretty clearly reveals that Bowman is doing a "you're so close to getting it, now close the loop" which, whatever you think of his choice, is a pretty far cry from what this post is suggesting.

The "vibe shift" was largely elites insisting politics and culture had changed forever on whatever issues they wanted Dems to move right on

The NFL commentators don’t understand the difference between Ireland and Northern Ireland lol

The Donald J. Trump CBS News

Now CBS’s Brennan has moved from fear-mongering about medication abortion to pretending that DOJ has “complied with the spirit” of a law requiring a full release of the Epstein files? Way to toe the corporate line, ma’am.

Mifepristone is safe, the well-funded effort to persuade people otherwise is as antithetical to the factual record as “climate change is a hoax” — and if Brennan feels willing or obliged to bend the knee to her new corporate management, this seems like a telling sign of that.

let's be honest just amongst ourselves: complying with the epstein law is an impossible task. imagine being one of the lawyers having to decide on what you can/should lawfully redact. imagine the sheer volume of documents. and to this i say lol and lmao. well played congress

ICE whistles work.

Contestants confirmed that Trump actually did this. It wasn't just locker-room talk.

This, for the record, is what goes into a footnote. It’s the key part of the research process where I examine the practical, methodological, ethical implications of my sources before I join the stream of interpretation. It cannot be outsourced to an LLM.

I don’t know how anyone can still talk about “the AI revolution” with a straight face. Reuters story about a railroad company that has sunk $300,000 into “developing AI products” and appears to have made…a chatbot that doesn’t work? archive.is/2025.12.17-0...
