I’d expect this from a carnival barker.

House Judiciary Committee releases on New Years Eve (in an obvious attempt to bury this info) the Jack Smith deposition transcript. I recommend doing a word search for "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." And explanation of disenfranchisement of urban areas. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

I love this for him.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

You are painting a vision of a future in which teachers create lessons with "A.i.," students complete them with "A.i.," and teachers grade them with "A.i." No learning takes place under this system. The only benefactors of this system are the corporations being paid for the "A.i." products.

The Trump administration is censoring information. If you come across something before it’s censored, save it, download it, print it. Thank you to everyone preserving and sharing records, the censored Epstein files, and to Canada for helping us access Inside CECOT. Don’t let censorship win.

Bless the Internet Archive. Also, donate to the work they do.

My phone keeps autocorrecting it to Barf Weiss.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

The beginnings of a spine.

This has never happened.

This has never happened.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

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

While there's a lot of bad ish coming out of DC these days, I want to turn your attention away from there to my favorite little city--Natchez, Mississippi, and this awesome bit of news.

Who let Paw Paw escape from the senior home?

Just emailed myself a pep talk. Because I need it.

Susie Wiles: "It's a hit piece!" Vanity Fair:

"The Simpsonville Massacre survived as informal history in the local Black and military communities, a poignant symbol of unrecognized sacrifices. Nobody with institutional power seemed interested in discovering where those two mass graves were." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/s...

Not going to repost the President’s comments re the death of Rob Reiner but it’s clear our commander in chief is deeply unwell.

What happened at Brown University also happened at UNC Charlotte, just before summer break in 2019. Two students were killed and several injured. The problem of guns never gets fixed. Congress sits on its hands and offers us thoughts and prayers. This is not “freedom.”

Every Caturday I'm missing my girl, Halen. She passed in April 2024 but I always feel her absence. #caturday

This is what I'm hearing in my head. Go Letitia James!

“A single HPV vaccination appears just as effective as two doses at preventing the viral infection that causes cervical cancer, researchers reported Wednesday.”

🤦‍♀️

Have I missed anything today? Another absurdity coming from the WH? Maybe there's some good news somewhere that I need to know about.

oh no have women ruined all the workplaces

Good example of how an acronym can dehumanize consequences and mask what’s going on. Syntactically, “Diversity slayer,” “equity slayer,” or “inclusion slayer” sounds weird. They aren’t “slaying” these things; they’re promoting and supporting their opposites: segregation, unfairness, and exclusion.

Heather Ann Thompson’s latest on the Bernie Goetz shootings of 1984 and the untold story of the Bronx boys he shot—like her Pulitzer Prize winning Blood in the Water, it reads like a novel, a page turner. It’s called Fear and Fury.

Quiet, Piggy.

Here in Charlotte: Do yourself a favor and don’t read the comments on local news about ICE & border patrol. You’ll swiftly learn how xenophobic & racist your neighbors are.

Raskin was one of the first Dems to endorse Mamdani. The internet has the memory of a bag of hammers.

Re: Epstein files. Release them. Let everyone who was involved--politicians, academics, businessmen, etc.--get their just desserts. None of them should be protected for what they did.

I live here and can promise that this is totally unnecessary. I’m very concerned for the neighbors in my community who are going to get targeted for their skin color to meet racist quotas. www.wfae.org/crime-justic...

Pardons for only the WORST people.

The retirees have spoken.

If Dem senators cave to a promise of a vote on the ACA they are toast if they run for reelection. Hold the damn line.

The Heritage Foundation’s racism knows no bounds.

This is a terrific piece of writing and insight about where we are with the Times, and where the Times is with us.

Headed to the Southern? @drkarenlcox.bsky.social sat down with me for a very real and very raw conversation about her life, the challenges that made her, and where we need to go as historians. This is about as unfiltered as it gets. Like and share if you dig it.

Alright now! This is outstanding.

Mmmhmmm.

Shame on Condé Nast. I hope these staffers find a place for their talents--free from being silenced.

Priorities. 🙄
