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

For the scope and likely cost, if this autopsy vindicated the party's shift right on immigration, cozying to billionaires, or support for Israel, it would be pushed and pontificated on every platform. Choosing to bury it instead says plenty.

Steve Bannon reportedly said: 'You raised a kid that slit your throat!' about the late Rob Reiner. A reminder that not a single prominent Democrat or liberal pundit said anything even vaguely akin to this when Charlie Kirk was murdered. Oh the hypocrisy.

Whipple: Wiles thought she was talking to someone who would give her a fair shake. And I did give her a fair shake. But the problem is, when you’re in that bubble, you wouldn’t recognize fair treatment when you see it—because crazy is crazy when you’re in that bubble.

DC resident on Trump putting his name on the Kennedy Center: "We should all be shocked that a convicted felon, a thug, and by all means a grifter has just stuck his name on top of a national monument."

Hold onto your outrage. It shows you have principles. If we lose our outrage and accept this MAGA dictator crap, that’s what we’ll get more of. So stay angry, but stay hydrated too. It's a long battle, and we can win it.

The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies. They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube. Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

Yglesias referring to Senator Van Hollen as a "safe seat clout-chaser" is so despicable. VH took a stand to prevent Abrego García - an innocent man - from being disappeared into CECOT for life.

🙄 Sen. Mark Kelly has been spending spam texts asking for money to take on Trump and Hegseth’s department of defense’s investigation targeting him less than 24 hours after he voted to approve a $900 billion defense authorization budget for a pentagon run by Trump and Hegseth. Cynical and gross. 🤮

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov. He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

More than 600 Americans faced professional consequences for saying things deemed insufficiently reverential after the death of Charlie Kirk. And then there was Rob Reiner. Read @parkermolloy.com's infuriating forensic analysis:

From April 2024: “A pro-Trump group tells justices he could never have the military kill nonmilitary targets — even though he allegedly suggested shooting protesters” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is a harrowing account of city under siege www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

kyrsten sinema seemingly had a long-term plan to cash out of her senate job by establishing a reputation as someone who was connected to both parties, so at minimum it is good to see her get to find out that her name is mud

It is rare that i reach out to as many trump advisers and officials that I did today and get literally no one willing to defend this, even off the record.

When Paul Pelosi was nearly murdered by a MAGA conspiracy theorist, MAGA pretended it had nothing to do with politics. Now that the Reiners' have been killed in a horrible act of domestic violence, they're TAKING CREDIT FOR THE ATTACK.

Sounds about right.

“.. Wealthy taxpayers in high-tax states .. are the biggest winners, while most taxpayers will see only a modest boost.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump, in his tax bill, gave $1 trillion to top 1% over next decade. Never has a president been less well suited to the mood of the country. Tax the rich.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Rob Reiner, the award-winning Hollywood actor and director, and his wife, Michele, were found dead in their home on Sunday in Los Angeles. Officials said they were investigating the deaths as homicides. Here's what we know.

Today, in the Sunday print NYT, we published an investigative look at Harold Hamm, the 13th child of Oklahoma sharecroppers who started an oil company named Continental, which turned him into a billionaire, powerbroker and friend of Donald J. Trump. You may never have heard of Hamm. But you should

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

Exactly. Coddling them is not helping them or anyone else, and makes things worse for others. Hard times are war, depression, tyranny. Not "I saw on my smartphone that people I don't know are reading books at a library in another town at a voluntary family event that I didn't attend." FFS.

“Commercial breaks were largely filled with spots from direct-response advertisers, including the dietary supplement SuperBeets. “Viewers of of the telecast on WCBS, the CBS flagship in New York, saw a commercial for Chia Pet, the terra-cotta figure that sprouts plant life after a few weeks.”

related to this a lot of people in the pundit class need to learn how to just be annoyed by someone or something without turning it into What’s Wrong With America

Trump is causing mass confusion right now amid an active shooter situation at Brown University. Trump posted that the suspect was in custody, but Brown University and media reports say that is not true and that the situation remains active.

This is leadership and courage when a lot of the Democratic establishment and pundit class wanted to let this man rot in a torture facility.

#2 headline on CBS News homepage rn

President Trump’s “pardon” of Tina Peters has no more authority than the plastic Sheriff badge from a box of Cracker Jacks. Unless SCOTUS creates a sweeping new presidential power. Some of Colorado’s top criminal justice minds called it “bonkers,” “garbage,” and “a loser.”

Pardon me, but *holy shit* chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

Things we learn: 1. Bovino's existence is the result of chain migration, which MAGA wants to ban 2. His family arrived legally under an immigration law MAGA wants to repeal 3. His father killed a woman while driving drunk, a crime for which MAGA aims to deport immigrants And much more. Read it.

This is really solid investigative reporting from the Sun-Times. And a brutal expose of Greg Bovino, the cosplaying tough guy who has terrorized so many immigrants in Chicago. Read it all. chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

If I were a Member of Congress, I would not have voted with Republicans to censure Rashida Tlaib (like 22 House Dems did). But I sure would have already introduced a resolution to censure this bigot:

i also believe in building a better world for workers. i also believe that all people are entitled to respect and dignity and that there ought to be social sanction for those who openly degrade others. you call me a “n*gger” to my face and i am not going to smile and shake your hand.

This is so unhelpful to the cause of workers' rights that I considered whether it could be a false-flag operation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Nobody tell Trump about how everybody’s laughing at him. He handles that kind of thing well, I hear.

Interesting. I was told I would be completely discredited when the evidence comes out. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

The Heritage Foundation is cracking

checking in on Fox News's "straight news" anchor Sandra Smith

To be clear, I don't think there was a ton of interest in reading it. Just having it on your coffee table, on the off chance she does come visit you and you want her to swoon over how smart and tall and awesome and big-dicked you are, at age 72 or whatever.

In a previously unreported letter, the Pennsylvania senator John Fetterman asked Israeli president Isaac Herzog to pardon Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The fact that the entire Pentagon press corps covering the world's biggest military has been replaced with right wing influencers happy to act as administration enforcers is a legitimate crisis for democracy and global security.

More importantly to them, I think, impeachment is hard and sustained effort, which they could otherwise spend doing the "real work" Jeffries refers to, by which he means essentially nothing whatsoever.

The first reporter to speak up, interrupt, and call Trump out to his face while he is berating, insulting and personally attacking another female reporter for no reason will be a national hero. You may lose access, but you will be a legend forever. At some point, someone has to.
