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

So the sources “risked their lives” to speak with 60 Minutes about this concentration camp we’re sending random people to, and Bari killed the story because the Trump administration refused an interview. Am I missing something??

Bari is not a news editor - she is a right wing MAGA political operator - playing the role of a news person - just like the 6 Republican operatives in black robes play the role of justices on the MAGA scotus.

"effectively unprecedented"

Sooo how's a girl supposed to get one of these Mamdani City Hall Inauguration tickets

minaj is on the verge of having her $20M home forcibly sold by the court to cover a $500K debt, in case you wonder what’s going on here

my brother in law and his partner got me this for christmas lmaoooo

It's an older relic from the last Trump era but it has I believe found its time.

me: “what’s wrong with your food?” 4-year-old: “well. it doesn’t taste good. that’s basically the problem”

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

My sister has started asking my three-year-old niece the name of each piece of art she produces, and today's was A SPIDER WHO CRAWLS JUST LIKE A WOMAN

This is the sweetest thing and I hope they keep hanging out periodically

"In retrospect, the Court’s willingness a quarter-century later in Palmer v. Thompson to allow cities to shut down public swimming pools rather than allow Black people to use them makes a lot more sense." whew Lord

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of

how to handle the what now

I can't believe they put the penny in the clouds with the lil wings lmao

Got them people grocery lined up like keys of dope

Currently at the funeral for the penny, happening at the Lincoln Memorial:

The Lincolns have brought the coffin

yall this is so, so funny to me 😂

"what? you dont think these things while you're driving?" GIRL NO. my mom is a walking intrusive thought

im going to stop getting in the car with my mother. she keeps making these final destination ass observations, i.e. "i hope all the gas tanks that truck is carrying are empty. imagine if it caught fire"; or while at a standstill "if that tower starts tilting over do you think we're safe?" etc etc

@audrelawdamercy.bsky.social I feel as though everything I’ve researched as a medical historian — everything I’ve fought for as a social justice scholar—has been destroyed. My latest book (on rise of Nazi and their perversion of science) isn’t even ‘history’ any more. wwnorton.com/books/978132...

“The Trump administration’s policies work in tandem. It is harder for people of color to enter the workforce. It is harder for them to remain in the workforce. And if they are victimized by illegal discrimination, it is harder for them to do anything about it.” @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social

🤌

any time now

I feel like that makes it worse, bc it underscores that it's not just (using just loosely) RFK Jr randomly being a conspiracy addled eugenicist wackjob -- this catastrophe was coordinated and had the backing of the conservative legal movement

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

I've never seen a frame of this show, haven't seen a trailer or an ad and just by being on Bluesky I know exactly what Tal is talking about

I love alt text. Not only does it make images accessible, I be having fun with the descriptions. Extra space for my lil jokes

When I was in j-school they always taught us not to be phased by hate mail because if they read the article then we already won. (Which is why you should stop fucking clicking on articles you know are gonna make you mad.)

Headed home for Christmas tomorrow and wanted my nails to feel festive

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Congratulations to everyone who wrote an op-ed about how he just wants americans to eat better

My niece and nephew did not put "the measles" on their Christmas lists

Schiff: "Part of this is a consequence I think frankly of Chief Justice Roberts giving the president absolute immunity when it comes to his instructions to the DOJ. He can pretty much order them to do what he wants and know that he will never be held criminally liable."

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

Breaking: Rep. Ro Khanna says the Trump DOJ's production "does not comply with" the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Khanna says he and Rep. Thomas Massie "are exploring all options" — including impeachment of DOJ officials, inherent contempt, or referring individuals for obstruction of justice.

the epstein files as rick owens fall/winter 2024

The New School owns about a billion dollars worth of art, most of which is not on display. They could sell the two Warhols they own and raise $100 million tomorrow. But they’d rather close academic departments.

Putting my dogs in their room so I can wrap their gifts like they give a fuck LMAO I just laughed out loud to myself cuz girl 😂😂😂😂😂

Many thanks to @jaywillis.net and @ballsandstrikes.org for letting me cover this important but depressing topic this year. Looking forward to continuing the coverage in 2026!

Just a Trump appeals court judge doing his best to get the White House to notice him one more time

"On top of trying to prevent people of color from entering the workforce, the administration is making it easier to kick them out."

friends, if I share "How the Trump Administration Is Quietly Resegregating the American Workforce," describing how several policies--some of which you may not know about--work in tandem, and you immediately reply 'quietly???' I'm quieting you with the mute button ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
