Farewell to CBS News and "60 Minutes." It just went the way of the Washington Post's editorial page Once you begin surrendering to Trump, he always wants more. You can’t appease a tyrant. Some thoughts...

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

They see it. They know. They just like that he hates the same people they hate.

Everything is for sale. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/12/22/us/politics/trump-donors-fundraising-benefits.html

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

Musk joked about altering the voting machine tabulator code during an interview. It is quite easy to do and GOP will do it again in the next elections-- Dems need to investigate every election result.

We won't shy away from showing the horrors of CECOT. Watch @timmiller.bsky.social's conversation with Andry on the abuse he faced there: lnk.thebulwark.com/3Y3Y9xI

There are no boundaries on bigotry with these people, because that's essentially their entire platform. They're proud of it.

As long as we can’t see the 60 minutes episode, I figured I’d reup this little chestnut (have to wonder whether this underreported angle featured in the segment) open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

@cbsnews.com @60minutes.bsky.social So now you're playing "catch & kill" for Trump. @michaelcohen212.bsky.social This all sounds so familiar, doesn't it?

Bari Weiss is killing stories the right way. by Ezra Klein

Suspended Harvard conservative magazine used Nazi symbols / language, internal group chats were full of slurs, and articles for next issue were to call for mass executions of "tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of individuals" and defended the Spanish Inquisition www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

@60minutes.bsky.social Seriously, you have completely lost me as a viewer. The real political problem is Bari Weiss & Trump. You have sold your souls to curry favor with a criminal conman and get favorable treatment by the FCC. So, you're actually worse than Trump because you know better.

This is something else. Lots of respect for @60minutes.bsky.social reporter Sharyn Alfonso for defending the integrity of her work. What a disgrace for 60 Minutes. The Trump effect destroys every institution it touches. GIFT LINK: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

I hope that all who voted for this - yes, you who voted for him, voted for this - are proud of yourselves. May you be shown no mercy when cruelty comes calling for you.

Mabel is silly

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

What do these corporations all have in common? -Lockheed Martin -Palantir -Microsoft -Amazon -Comcast -Google -Apple -Meta -HP -Nvidia -T-Mobile They all have lucrative government contracts — and they're all donors to Trump's $400M ballroom.

Mabel is full of static electricity & waiting to shock me again!

Schiff: "I think we ought to bring Pam Bondi before the Senate Judiciary Committee demand answers as to why the DOJ has violated the law."

WATCH-- Former AG Eric Holder says Congress should consider impeachment for the DOJ officials responsible for holding back the Epstein files: “That's a nuclear option that Congress has.”

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

Trump is attempting to rename the Kennedy Center for the Arts after himself. Why is he so obsessed with taking over our museums, arts, and cultural institutions? It’s all part of his attack on the American mind. https://youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?si=5Jm9lpy7P6prWCpi

Breaking: The Trump administration announces that they will not be complying with today’s deadline to release the full Epstein Files. They insist the files will be released in the next “couple weeks.”

The shredder is on fire. 🔥🔥

The most corrupt president in modern U.S. history should be behind bars. 🚨 Newly obtained recording from late 2020: Trump is heard pressuring the Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to convene a special legislative session to overturn his election loss.

Severe weather is moving across Kentucky, with warnings — including tornado — popping up in different areas. The system is currently in the west, around Christian County. Please make sure to have your weather alerts on and a plan to shelter if needed. Stay safe, everyone.

So, Trump's big Patriot bonus is actually money military members are already due to receive. He can't help but lie constantly.

Trump is trying again: Joshua A. Douglas, an election law expert and University of Kentucky professor, told the Lantern in an email the DOJ’s request “is very rare” but the first Trump administration also attempted to collect sensitive data via the U.S. Census. kentuckylantern.com/2025/12/17/e...

We've all been so disgusted with Trump's remarks on the Reiners that it's only now starting to sink in that his broader point is that his critics all deserve to be murdered.

This is painful to listen to. Trump is just making shit up right now, and he thinks the American people are still going to buy it. We’re done. Everyone knows he’s lying.

This is microphone abuse. Make it stop.

Jesus Christ what a barn fire that was

Some takeaways from the Susie Wiles interview in no particular order. 1) Before anyone congratulates her on telling the truth, we must first acknowledge that when it comes to the craziest and most unqualified cabinet members...she absolutely fucking loves it because deep state something something.

Do you want a freaky tale? I used some Juliette has a Gun perfume today. Wasn't following the page on Facebook. Later today, I open up Facebook & there is the Juliette has a Gun page in my feed.

The Abrego Garcia case shows courts can enforce the law, but only with persistence against delays & dodges Judicial power + public scrutiny are key to keeping the rule of law intact I unpack w/ Spencer Klein on @contrariannews.org -TN open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust. He has proven these points virtually every day since. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Not that it's not appalling enough, but this is an official US Government post, paid for by our federal tax dollars.

We could have had a sane president.

More Americans got measles this week than Olivia Nuzzi’s book. Guess which got more press coverage.

www.salon.com/2025/12/14/c... @cbsnews.com This is not news. Nor is it non-partisan. This is why you have lost me as a viewer. Your once respected network is now a laughing stock. Bari Weiss is destroying the credibility of CBS News. But you all have a hand in caving to Trump's demands.
