This is an admission that Bari Weiss is giving the Trump regime veto power over any story from 60 Minutes or CBS News. All the MAGA minions have to do is refuse to provide a comment, and she can use the "missing critical voices" excuse to spike a piece that Donald the Terrible doesn't like!

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

UK cannot ignore deep-sea threat from Russia, head of Navy warns ft.trib.al/nw6EsnT

The brave Epstein survivors need to understand that this is going to be a fight all the way. Trump DOES NOT WANT THE FILES RELEASED. START NAMING NAMES There is strength in numbers, but you need overwhelming numbers; encourage your sister survivors to join the fight www.bbc.com/news/article...

🇺🇦‼️ By kidnapping people in Hrabovske, Putin's Russia is demonstrating that it is no different from terrorist groups like ISIS, Boko Haram or Hamas, - Sybiha. "We demand the return of our civilian hostages home. These 50 people, as well as thousands of other civilians forcibly deported to Russia,

Agree 💯 👇

We need a new Amendment to the Constitution that allows the PEOPLE to recall a ROGUE President. Perhaps 1 million signatures from 26 states? At that point there would be a recall referendum. It would be decided if that would include an Impeachment hearing. We must make sure this can’t happen again.

Pam Bondi just released a new batch of Epstein files.

WELKER: Why was Ghislaine Maxwell moved just days after you interviewed her? BLANCHE: That's a Bureau of Prisons security issue that I will not talk about WELKER: Did you have anything to do with it? BLANCHE: I am responsible for the Bureau of Prisons, so every decision they make lands on my desk

4# trees up and enjoying it… Christmas movies going in the background and a nice drink. So much nostalgia when decorating Christmas trees.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Overall, elections depend on two factors: security and legislation. Security must be addressed; this is the top priority. It is important that our military personnel, who are defending the country, are able to vote. Every citizen has an absolute right to vote.

Why does this ridiculous, stupid, coke-addled nepo-baby of a nepo-baby brat have any say in U.S. foreign policy? What foolish, horrifying times we live in.

The easiest position in any company for artificial intelligence to replace is the CEO and the CFO. They certainly couldn't be any less heartless

🧵 Vice President JD Vance amplified EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas' recruiting ad for white men to file discrimination complaints against their employers. The Trump administration continues following Project 2025, the ideological blueprint for white Christian nationalism.

The extent of redactions just proves that TRUMP WAS ALL THROUGH THE EPSTEIN FILES. We want those 119 pages unredacted!

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated. Read more: www.theverge.com/health/66136...

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

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

if the department of justice has kompromat on Trump then who else does

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

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.

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

I find it shocking that people are shocked that Trump's DoJ is breaking the law

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

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

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

Do it

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 document proves if the FBI had done its job in 1996, Epstein’s decades-long sex trafficking operation could have been stopped at the outset... the FBI’s negligence allowed Epstein to continue abusing hundreds of girls and young women for nearly 25 more years.” thehill.com/homenews/adm...

George W. Bush: He is, indeed, the dumbest President we’ve ever had, and I thank God that he is every damned day.

If you missed Trump's disastrous speech last night, this is about as good a recap as you will read today: "...President Donald Trump’s speech on Wednesday night had no grave significance. In fact, there didn’t seem to be much of a point at all,” writes senior correspondent Zack Beauchamp.

Yesterday played out exactly as many expected a cover-up. When 119 pages of grand jury documents are released entirely redacted, that goes far beyond protecting victims’ identities. A court ordered these records released, yet what the public received was effectively nothing.

I know someone whose Hispanic cleaner, a citizen, has been stopped by ICE here 4 times. He’s now afraid to leave his abode. For now, most clients continue to pay him. Waiting for ICE to leave Minnesota!

NEW: After months of the government telling the court under penalty of perjury that the US Attorney alone made the decision to charge Kilmar Abrego with a crime, there is now EVIDENCE tying Todd Blanche to the decision. More to come on Substack... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna plan to draft articles of impeachment against AG Pam Bondi over the DOJ’s failure to release all Epstein files as required by law.

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.

Statement from Bill Clinton and he’s right. This isn’t about him. They are using him to deflect off Trump. They are hiding the files, pictures and redacting trump from them.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

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

Maggots, MAGAs and mold, O my!

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."

BREAKING: Elise Stefanik DROPS OUT of race for New York Governor and will NOT be seeking reelection in Congress

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice will fail 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. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
