All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

This is as easy a test of your belief in the American system as is conceivable: Should this be an acceptable argument from a president?

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

NYT shows how Bari Weiss really screwed this up. She didn't attend any of the 5 screenings of the story, which began on Dec. 12. She only first weighed in on Thursday, and the show incorporated her suggestions. She then waited until weekend to ask for more edits. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/b...

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

In an internal email, 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi said new editor in chief Bari Weiss had “spiked” the story and said the government was using silence to “VETO” stories.

Khanna: "The problem here is there are rich and powerful people who either engaged in this abuse, covered it up, or we're on this island. What the American people want to know is who are these people? Instead of holding them accountable, Pam Bondi is breaking the law."

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply? MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE. www.npr.org/2025/12/20/n...

not that the present economic picture is rosy, but i do think that popular culture — and specifically nostalgia bait television — is a big part of the reason that our public memory of the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s seems to miss the real economic pain that marked each of those decades.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

This ad from the far-right Heritage Foundation repeats threats made directly by Trump, Vance, and others: "Do exactly as Trump wants, or he will cut off all funding for your state." Hopefully these types of threats, which underline that Trump is a dangerous dictator wanna-be, will backfire bigly.

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve: ✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education 👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own” ❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history 🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

Fox: We're seeing rising numbers of measles cases. To be honest, this is somewhat expected as we see declining vaccination rates. Unfortunately, the way things are going right now with the CDC and the current vaccination advisory committees, we're seeing even more mistrust and confusion.

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

Here's who attended a white nationalist conference at a Tenn. state park. For years, the guest list for an annual white nationalist gathering at Tennessee's Montgomery Bell State Park has been a closely guarded secret until now.

This is how you spell dystopian

Trump made a nearly 500-word post on Truth Social declaring it “treasonous” to question his physical health. Maybe lashing out in an insane 9pm meltdown on social media about it isn’t the most reassuring sign that his health is doing well.

This keeps happening.

I guess the president just announced he recently took his latest in a series of cognitive tests, this one in front of a room full of medical personnel observing him?

Something I learned traveling MAGA country is that this $12b farmer bailout is likely to work pretty well for Trump. If he gets million dollar checks into people’s hands they will vote for him. Makes sense, but also hearing it directly was useful data.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

ICE now admits that hundreds of children were held past the legal 20-day custody limit set to protect their safety. Five were kept for 168 days. Some faced unsafe conditions and went days without medical care. This crosses a moral line.

Gotta love the @miamiherald.com headline: Democrat Eileen Higgins wins Miami mayor’s race, beats Trump’s pick www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami. She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

But seriously where are the Epstein files?
