We don’t get much good news from the Supreme Court these days, so let’s celebrate when we do. www.npr.org/2025/12/23/n...

Yeah, this story is never going to go away for Trump with headlines like these. www.tmz.com/2025/12/23/t...

This article sums up today’s insane developments around the latest Epstein files tranche. And the fact is that this update looks absolutely awful for Trump even *with* the redactions. Via @jkbjournalist.bsky.social www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

The VA implemented an abortion ban after a DoJ memo last week prohibiting the VA from providing abortion services to veterans and their dependents who become pregnant as a result of rape/incest or in cases when life or health are endangered by carrying a pregnancy to term. www.ms.now/news/abortio...

This really is the man question surrounding Bari Weiss right now. What changed between Friday and Saturday to make her shift from ‘standard feedback’ to ‘pulling the story’? Did someone get to her? Was it the Ellisons? Was it the WH? If so, she is disqualified from running a news organization.

Hey, if you live in South Carolina's 88th House District... get out and vote today for Col. J. Chuck Hightower! What more can you do it on Christmas Eve Eve...

A good reminder that the things often labeled as ‘distractions’ can help chip away at Trump’s approval rating, which in turn could hamper GOP efforts in the 2026 elections. Political death by a thousand cuts.

41,000 American jobs—that’s how many we lost in October and November alone. And instead of standing with working Americans, this Administration is prioritizing tax breaks for billionaires and reckless tariffs so they can give favors to their corporate best friends.

Wut. Apparently part of the briefly posted tranche of Epstein documents tonight is a disturbing letter - purportedly from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar days before Epstein’s death in 2019 - in which Epstein says ‘Our President also shares our love of nubile young girls’.

Believe it or not we actually have a special election tonight in South Carolina, in State House District 88. This is a very red seat at R+35 but Dems seem to have recruited well here. Won’t be a flip but let’s keep an eye on overperformance here!

A sort of baffling thing to me about the Second Term Trumpites is their apparently sincere lack of knowledge that managing large organizations is a skill that is both important and not particularly common

In the television business, having someone in charge who doesn't give notes or watch cuts on time is pretty much when you have to choose between moving onto another gig or planning a mutiny to remove them.

Not a single Maine media story on Susan Collins vote to confirm this awful dude -- or on the dozens and dozens of other Trumpers she helped confirm in one fell swoop. #MEpolitics

It’s amazing how many people, entities and institutions are tethering themselves to the starboard side of an obviously-sinking ship.

Add the Heritage Foundation to the list of entities who thought that aligning with MAGA would benefit them, only to learn that it may destroy them before too long. www.axios.com/2025/12/22/h...

And best of all, it’s generating zero ad revenue this way.

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

Not content to screw over millions of Americans by preventing their utility costs from going down, Trump also thought it would be a good idea to screw over House Republicans like Jen Kiggans in toss-up #VA02, a seat the House GOP desperately needs to keep. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

I think the biggest media story of the year is how venerated news institutions like CBS News, The Washington Post and others decided to kowtow to the Trump Administration at the behest of their billionaire owners...only to fall flat on their faces and expose themselves in the process.

We are so lucky that the ideology of people like Bari Weiss is always, always, always matched by their incompetence. My guess is that an experienced executive in charge of CBS News would have known to pull the segment from *all* release avenues, not just the American one.

All the 60 Minutes hooplaaside, I’ve now actually watched the segment that Bari Weiss tried to bury, and here’s what’s clear: The Trump Administration knowingly sent migrants to a concentration camp to be beaten and tortured. Once the drama settles, let us remember that THAT is the story here.

The good news is that Bari Weiss is just as incompetent as the administration she is trying to protect: www.axios.com/2025/12/22/6...

This version of the 60 Minutes piece has now been pulled from YouTube. But it doesn’t matter. This particular horse has left the barn and jumped the fence.

We’ve answered the call before, and we’re answering it again. So proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my fellow Hell Cats in this fight to take back the House in 2026.

Nothing like doubling down on AI and ‘robots’ for jobs when unemployment is spiking…

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

The 60 Minutes piece scuttled by Bari Weiss was accidentally uploaded to GlobalTV. It’s apparently available at the link below.

There is only one barely-acceptable outcome of the 60 Minutes scandal: Air the segment as approved with no edits/additions, and accompanied by an introduction from Sharyn Alfonsi explaining to the audience why the segment was delayed by Bari Weiss. Anything short of that and 60 Minutes is ruined.

Any Democrat looking to win a primary or a general election in 2026 needs to have a robust presence on Bluesky. They can still communicate via X, too. It doesn’t have to be either/or. But driving traffic to Bluesky also helps establish this platform as THE hub of Democratic activism.

‘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.

Brutal poll for Trump/GOP - Part 1:

After what we're seeing at CBS, if today is not the perfect day for everyone to find some independent journalism & nonprofit newsrooms to support... what day could be better?

Another juicy piece from the MSNOW scoop-machine team of Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian: Kash Patel ordered a luxury BMW for his use and even asked for an upgraded jet. www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

Someone might want to remind the White House that Colorado has 4 Republican House members…and all 4 could be at risk if a big blue wave develops thanks to intentional cruelty like this. www.denver7.com/news/local-n...

60 Minutes gone in 60 seconds.

Big kudos to 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi for blowing the whistle on Bari Weiss, telling her colleagues in an email that Weiss ‘spiked the story’ after ‘the story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices’. www.wsj.com/business/med...

With blue states likely to lose ECVs and red states likely to gain ECVs in the 2030s, Dems really need to think about ways to widen their path to victory. If I had a gazillion $$$ I’d spend a chunk of it trying to make a state like Mississippi competitive. jacksonadvocateonline.com/opinion-the-...

What’s ironic is that it’s rural white MAGA voters that are getting hosed the most by Trump and the Republican Party.

CECOT is the inhumane El Salvadoran prison that Trump has used for deportations, including that of Kilmer Abrego Garcia. The only question now is whether this is Bari Weiss’ handiwork. Precisely why I’ve regretfully had to stop watching 60 Minutes. I simply can no longer trust them.

JD Vance is hitting every MAGA note in this address: Racism Xenophobia Anti-semitism White nationalism Pro-Russia Conspiracy theories Cruelty Only thing missing from the clips thus far is anti-LGBTQ language, but there’s still time.

We have David Duke as our Vice President.

Nicki Minaj publicly hitching her wagon to MAGA just as Trump craters in popularity is quite the career choice. www.foxnews.com/politics/rap...

::steps on rake::

With Trump essentially endorsing Mike Lindell for the #MNGov GOP nomination, and some equally bad R contenders for #MNSen, don't be surprised if GOP top-of-the-ticket woes trickle downballot in a wave year w/ good D candidates. Maybe #MN01? www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

Another reminder that in the first 3 months of 2026 there will be nearly *30* State Legislative Special Elections across the country, with several red-to-blue flipping opportunities. So rest up over the holidays. As soon as the new year has been rung in, we’ve got work to do.
