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

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Fudali: The survivors have been wronged by administration after administration, Justice Department after Justice Department, for decades and decades. This is nothing new for them. They were exploited by Epstein, and then they were exploited by the politicians who surrounded themselves with Epstein.

If you know anyone in the military, please share this with them. The Convicted FElon's $1776 bonus check for military is coming from their monthly housing allowance. So they will get less money for housing. Also the bonus check will be taxable income. They are getting screw. youtu.be/HbUkGtu25Ik?...

Sean Glendening is the man covering up the Trumpstein files.

Many gun owners are against stricter gun background checks. I can understand why, because stricter background checks would reveal that many of them are completely mentally unfit to own firearms. Who do you think does all those mass shootings? Civilian gun owners who are not playing with a full deck.

Not to protect anyone, but because I’m sick of his fucking face. You’re welcome.

What the actual fuck? The DEADLINE was yesterday. Sure Dems, come on out and tell us how they broke the law by not releasing all the documents, redacting hundreds of pages, and adding photos of Bill Clinton that had nothing to do with Epstein. Where are the US Marshalls? The DEADLINE was yesterday.

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

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...

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…

Today is the day. Days will start getting longer. Today it's 6 hours and 60 minutes. Tomorrow it will be 7 hours. Slow but steady until we reach 17 hours where I live. Happy winter solstice everyone 😁

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

I respect Taylor Swift so much because she could have spent 6 episodes of a documentary to talk about herself and her music and her thoughts but most of these episodes are highlighting everyone else who worked on the tour.

This extremely sweet man was brought back from foster today; he's been there several months (may be a sitter stay for the holidays). SNAP HIM UP, Austin! Perfect family boy. Come and get him. www.austinpetsalive.org/adopt/dogs/a...

If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara. Powerful ad by Interfaith Alliance — a plea for humanity.

Release the Epstein Files

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible. But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas. If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

The U.S. has more civilian owned guns than any other country in the world. It also has the largest number of mass shootings by several orders of magnitude. The argument that owning more guns will magically stop mass shootings, is a deeply flawed argument and a lie. The End.

All eligible voters had a responsibility to prevent this from happening. We wouldn’t be here today if a majority of voters had done their duty and simply cast a ballot to protect their fellow citizens. If you didn’t do that, this is on you.

Happy EPSTEIN Files Release Day Eve for all those who celebrate!!! 👍

Republicans fought release of Epstein materials every step of the way, are now refusing to release the second strike boat video, and won’t let Jack Smith testify in public. They constantly hide everything they are doing from the American people.

NEW: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

Trump had another senior moment, reaching back several years to post this old lie about the January 6th Committee destroying information. And none of it is true. Especially the part about him being "proven innocent." SEE THIS: www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=59742

Didn't get what they wanted.

I don’t know who made this, but it’s spot on!!

🙃

I believe that every American should have a constitutional right to have sane and sober government representation. We should have the right to challenge via a petition, the President's competency. We should have the right to ACTUAL representation, not someone who is in it for themselves.

A rare moment of bipartisanship

“The President's dangerous expansion and abuse of presidential authority risks dragging us into another endless war, one that the American people do not want. That is precisely why our Founders entrusted Congress with the constitutional authority to decide matters of war.... Richie Neal

I’ve discovered something. People who put up with taxpayer-funded attacks (kidnapping, assault, concentration camps) on our communities believe that banning guns is extreme.

Yesterday’s shadow hearing made one thing clear: This isn’t reform, it’s abandonment. The administration is walking away from the federal role in education and selling it off for parts. Families deserve strong public schools that anchor our communities. www.newsfromthestates.com/article/us-s...

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

If anything can DEFINITIVELY be said about addressing the issue of gun violence in the United States of america, it's that every year, MILLIONS of GUNS are THROWN at it. This is not hyperbole. Some politician, with a straight face is taking money from gun manufacturers +Helping them, and not you.

I will give this piece of advice to all Democrats and Independents running in the upcoming elections: ITS THE ECONOMY THAT WILL WIN YOU THE ELECTION! All of the other issues re: reproductive rights, human rights, LGBTQ rights, healthcare, unions, taxes, democracy can be worked on when you WIN!!!!

Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country. But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes. That's not the service for which we thank them.

It’s the right thing to do! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Dear Politicians, PLEASE do not use "thoughts and prayers" when commenting on the latest gun slaughter . It has lost its meaning and is code for we are powerless to help. We are sick to death of you not finding a way to ban assault weapons and strengthen gun laws. Sincerely, Majority of Americans
