My god. From Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her ‘60 Minutes’ colleagues, posted by the NYT Michael Grynbaum:

LOL

Garry Trudeau was mocking Trump's deeply pathetic & narcissistic need to name things after himself 38 yrs ago. 11.2088 - Trump renames himself after himself. And the Kennedy Center will retain its rightful, legal name long after the GOP pretends they never really supported him all that much.

NEW: I was just on a call with @rokhanna.bsky.social — who says just 2.5 gigabytes out of a total of 300 gigabytes of the Epstein Files — have been released by the DOJ.

#ETTD as @therickwilson.bsky.social would say.

Statement from President Clinton’s Press Secretary on the Epstein files release:

𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀: 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝗯𝘀! President Trump’s Dept. of Ed. proposed excluding nurses, physician assistants, physical therapists, audiologists, architects, accountants, educators and social workers from the department’s definition of professional degrees.

This makes me physically ill.

It at first seemed unlikely that the shooting at Brown and the murder of a star MIT professor were related. But now police are investigating a possible connection, reporting that a rental car of the same make and model may be linked to both crimes. These are terrible days for academics.

A Christmas message with all the manic energy of one of Hitler’s Nuremberg rallies but none of the nuance or humanity.

Trump's speech

shot/chaser in just 2 sentences

"We can’t build the vision of higher ed that we all want without first standing up to fascism. We are going to have to scale up our organizing to build with other sectors, all under attack in different ways. We need to make militant moves if we’re going to win in this moment." — Todd Wolfson

One of the most striking things about youth suicide rates is how much they differ between states. A sixfold difference is massive! ojjdp.ojp.gov/statistical-...

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

LMAO McGovern is on fire right now 🔥🔥🔥

“Rather than lying low and hoping to fly under the radar, we are proposing a strategy of strength in numbers. It is all the more urgent now to work in solidarity to safeguard higher education in this country.” #defendhighered #academicsky

Breaking: The U.S. labor market lost 41,000 jobs over October and November, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.6% — the highest since 2021.

This is extremely important

Kash Patel has no business being the FBI director. This is the second time in a major murder case where he has prematurely announced the detainment of a person of interest who was subsequently cleared. He is an incompetent, corrupt buffoon. newrepublic.com/post/204410/...

Marjorie Taylor Greene called out Trump’s vile tweet following the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele

both of these posts are still up as of 11:30 this morning

@variety.com on X: Rob Reiner ... was found dead Sunday afternoon in his Brentwood home alongside his wife, Michele Singer. He was 78. According to TMZ, they were found stabbed and the deaths are being investigated as a homicide: x.com/Variety/stat... Variety story: variety.com/2025/film/ne...

A Lebanese immigrant disarms a mass shooter targeting Jews in Australia.

Ice cold. ❄️ @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, has been identified as the man who disarmed one of the Sydney attackers. Ahmed was shot by the second shooter, who was firing from a bridge. He suffered 2 gunshot wounds and is undergoing surgery.

Another mass shooting, this time at Brown. 2 dead, 8 injured. MAGA & Corporate media waiting to ID the shooter but we know the drill •Immigrant—> Expand ICE •Muslim—> Expand Muslim ban •Black—> Expand prisons & police •White—> Troubled lone wolf with rough childhood And still 0 action on gun safety

Careless misinformation like this during a school shooting can get people killed. Schools will now have to update their procedures to tell students to ignore Trump’s posts during school shootings. Hopefully no one was harmed due to Trump’s sharing of false information.

Longer statement from Brown University: "We are very sorry to share that we have confirmed reports of multiple shooting victims, but we are not able to share their condition. They have been transported to local hospitals."

NEW: 9 ex-DOJ lawyers who resigned from antisemitism investigations into UCLA and other UC campuses say they were pressured to find UC guilty of violations in a rushed and politically motivated process. One called it a "fraudulent and sham investigation." www.latimes.com/california/s...
