CBS is state-run media.

now seems like a good time to remind you all to support independent, worker run, billionaire free, and/or reader funded news how and where you can.

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now. It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

I’m sorry ezra but I could swear you told me the cruel folks were doing this the right way

People often ask why Democrats don’t have something like TurningPoint USA — so before the year ends, let me introduce you to Voters of Tomorrow. We’re on campuses across the country, organizing over 10,000 Gen Z members to engage our generation. 🧵THREAD

On a separate programming note, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu is absolute aging goals.

I am still thinking about the choice to put Manousos into the Darien Gap on his quest to save humankind, about the creative decision to have him set fire to all he cares about as he sets out, about the alien zombies saving him when at death’s door instead of leaving him to die as unworthy, about

New York, this moment belongs to you. Please join us for the Inauguration of a New Era on January 1, 2026.

In fact the Act prohibits them from redacting anything on the basis that it may cause reputational harm or embarrassment to a government official.

As a historian I've looked at hundreds of thousands of pages of government documents. And I just have to say that aside from being obviously illegal and clearly suggestive of some major crime, this “redaction” business is not a position in which serious people or serious governments find themselves

RIP.

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.

Come ON. If you're in Virginia, please call up Kaine and tell him IMPEACH NOW. They're covering up for pedophiles. IF NOT NOW, WHEN? (202) 224-4024

WOW. They're not going to air their special on CECOT. I'd like to know who made this decision, and whether the federal government had a hand in it.

We experience life (in part) in how we label it. "We're cooked" implies there's no reason to fight anymore. "We're successfully resisting" implies we will come out of this even if it takes a while and even if it's scary and difficult. POV makes a huge difference in how we *choose* to react.

BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply? MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

WELKER: Why was Ghislaine Maxwell moved just days after you interviewed her? BLANCHE: That's a Bureau of Prisons security issue that I will not talk about WELKER: Did you have anything to do with it? BLANCHE: I am responsible for the Bureau of Prisons, so every decision they make lands on my desk

🧑‍🌾 SPOTTED in Jackson County, Wisconsin…

8 years ago the GOP insisted the president didn’t say what we all heard him say: that the Nazis who attacked & murdered people in Charlottesville were “very fine people.” Now the VP - and the entire GOP - use word-for-word the same rhetoric of those very Nazis on a daily basis

Let’s go.

Is this bad? Seems bad.

Fifteen competing pathologies all spilling out in this one clip here.

Sing it with me: Cardi B told us!!!

It’s always darkest before the dawn. Happy Winter Solstice, all.

Indeed.

It really does feel like we are coming to the end of his usable brain life, and that raises questions about what happens for the next three years.

Concur one thousand percent.

I legit squealed when Carol said this.

A November YouGov poll had ICE favorability underwater by 14 points among all Americans and 37(!) points among political independents today.yougov.com/politics/art...

“Four detainee deaths in one week is a red-hot crisis,” said Eunice Cho, senior counsel at the @aclu.org National Prison Project. “There is no question in my mind that this represents a clear deterioration of medical care and the worsening conditions in ICE detention.”

Fox News poll shows approval for members of the Trump administration JD Vance: -8 Rubio: -5 RFK Jr: -12 Hegseth: -19 Kristi Noem: -13 static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/...

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer. Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump. Now, it’s gone.

Damn. Front page of the NYT year in pictures is a protestor being brutalized at Broadview by the Illinois State Police.

so much winning

this is the news tonight. No need to frame it otherwise. zeteo.com/p/trump-epst... New tonight for @zeteo.com

“.. After the release of thousands of Epstein files on Friday, The New York Times contacted Ms. Farmer .. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years,” she said. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Only candidates who are willing to go to the mat from here on out, folks. This is a once in a century opportunity for reconstruction, and we have to get it right this time.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

1996. Can you imagine if they had stopped him then?

BREAKING: Democrats are now +16 on the general ballot. I don't think I've seen anything like this. Also, this is a A+ poll taken BEFORE the government botched the Epstein release today.

Khanna: Congress is talking about possible impeachment. They're talking about inherent contempt for the attorney general or deputy attorney general—any justice department official who has obstructed justice could face prosecution in this administration or a future administration.

This thread is just so grim and sad.

Jeffrey Epstein, with an unidentified (redacted) woman, holds a large novelty cheque for $22,500 signed by…Donald Trump. It's a framed photo, an the frame says "once in a blue moon". What on earth is going on here?

This is some really bleak shit, folks. Take a hard look at your president.

Trump is coming to the end of his run. We all know it. It’s as clear as day.

Massie and Khanna are lining up and I wonder if we’re about to see a bipartisan effort to impeach Bondi and Patel.

This week has been a year.

No more Epstein files for me tonight. I'm going to a holiday party. However, I would really appreciate it, as a survivor of CSA, if those of you tempted to make pornographic jokes about Epstein, Trump, Melania, or anyone else would kindly stay TF out of my mentions while I'm gone. For chrissakes.

Here's a question: why are Sergey Brin's financial docs at JP Morgan Chase in the Epstein files? For instance: www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...
