49ers get no pressure on the QBs. I have no idea how they'll survive this in the playoffs. Rivers has all day.

I might be on vacation in another country and might not have slept in the past 24 hours but I feel compelled to discuss the murder...of CBS News and corporate, as well as the walking corpse of the Trump Admin and the sad couch lover JD Vance. Join me if free! thelefthook.substack.com

And, yes, he was the one who started it on DM and just won't stop. And, yes, I did finally ask him if he was dumb enough to think I was some Islamist.

Sharing another gem from a well-known media "colleague" who's increasingly unhinged in his DMs. This was after he accused me of being a race baiter who fronts for Islamists or something after I asked him why he never criticizes Israel for its war crimes. He also used my kid's cancer as a defense.

WOW. Trump's approval rating is now 36%. And I don't remember ever seeing him underwater with white people.

This is the type of response I'd get from other editors at NYT when I'd pitch them on opinion pieces. Opinion sections at newspapers value contrarianism over everything else.

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength.

The full Weiss memo is dogshit -who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT -who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison —who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

This Yggy retweet is the first and only example I have found of someone involved with the Harper’s letter criticizing Bari’s 60 Minutes decision

Meiselas: I’ve got to ask about your reaction to CBS censoring a report it was going to air on 60 Minutes… Is this something you see investigating? Garcia: There are many members of Congress looking at this issue in particular, and I think CBS still has a lot of explaining to do.

Via @liamjscott.bsky.social at the other site here’s the full email from 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi. She’s putting her career on the line by fighting here. And she’s fighting for all of us.

Agree. Sharyn Alfonsi is standing up. People need to stand up with her and for her.

Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi “said she learned Saturday that CBS News' new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, had ‘spiked our story,’ calling the decision ‘not an editorial decision’ but ‘a political one.’” people.com/60-minutes-s...

This shameless, obvious, utterly corrupt, criminal cover-up by Trump, the DOJ, and FBI. Just look at this NY Grand Jury file that Bondi released. Every single page blacked out. The entire page. These aren't redactions. It's a Trump child rape cover-up. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

NEWS: Bill Clinton is demanding full transparency from the Trump DOJ on the Epstein files. Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected. He calls on Trump to direct Bondi to immediately release all remaining materials referencing Clinton.

This is generally the fatal flaw in all for-profit media

Fun fact: Newsrooms used to have sharp metal spindles near copy desks where stories deemed unworthy of publication would be literally “spiked.” It was not uncommon for angry/drunk editors to smash stories on the spindles, puncturing their hands and causing the pages to be smeared in blood Cc: CBS

What does Usha, JD Vance's Hindu Indian American wife, think about her husband's pro white Christian nationalist speech?

Fwiw I think the “apologize for being white” thing is very clearly about making sure white people don’t feel an obligation to alleviate past injustices or make society fairer. Ultimately to do that you have to raise taxes and the billionaires holding Vance’s leash don’t want that.

Trump and Stephen Miller kidnapped innocent people of color and just sent them to die in a foreign prison. Oh American taxpayer dollars - 6 million of them - went to pay Bukele of El Salvador for this dirty work.

I understood this reference.

Bari Weiss just helped bring this scandal back into the spotlight. Thank you, Bari and CBS!

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

My dear friend Tasneem and her family in Gaza have lost everything; their home, their livelihood, their security. This is the case for thousands of Gazans. I support Tasneem, there are many more in need. Please give to Tasneem. And to others. ❤️🙏 chuffed.org/project/1587...

Lions and Bucs, thank you for losing. Sincerely, Niners fans.

Also, I'm curious if Nicki Minaj angling for a pardon for her brother.

The Ellisons and Bari Weiss killed 60 Minutes and CBS News. It's done. Just a fancier version of Newsmax now. What a sad end. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Trump isn't even dead yet, and it seems like JD Vance and Erika Kirk are making their plans to take over the White House. At least wait a beat so people don't think you're hella weird.

Hoods off for JD Vance, the man married to an Indian American woman and father of biracial kids. He'll sell out everyone for power. Too bad nobody outside of MAGA likes the couch-lover.

JD Vance announces his 2028 campaign slogan: Yes We Klan.

You should, however, apologize for being JD Vance

The Trump Epstein Cover-up Is Already Failing The Trump Administration's Cover-up of the Epstein Scandal Cover-up is falling apart, as Deputy AG Todd Blanche offers no plausible or believable explanations for redactions and lack of transparency. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Hold them all accountable. At least try. Put their feet to the fire. Make them afraid. Keep it in the news. Don't be like useless Tim Kaine and offer to do nothing. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

JD Vance: "Jasmine Crockett, the record speaks for itself. She wants to be a senator, though her street girl persona is about as real as her nails."

“The vice president is a klansman” Brought to you by Bank of America www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Oh I recall the paternalistic finger wagging by some when we said Erika Kirk's words and actions were quite weird for a grieving widow after her husband was publicly murdered. Well, just look at her behavior over the past 3 months. Isn't Hella weird, folks?

Asked by Erika Kirk what her advice to young men is, Nicki Minaj says, “don’t be like [Gavin] Newscum.” Nicki then refers to Trump as “our handsome, dashing president.” She then referred to JD Vance as “an assassin,” and remembered whom she was on stage with. Erika Kirk then assures her it’s fine

Just a thought... www.muellershewrote.com/p/are-the-mi...

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.

The Epstein Files: The Biggest Political Coverup in Modern History The DOJ just scrubbed 16 Epstein files from its website, including a photo of Donald Trump, intensifying concerns that Trump is actively trying - & failing - to protect pedophiles. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

Bears, thank you. Sincerely, Niners fans. Also, see you next week ;)
