Israel has killed 71,000+ Palestinians. Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least seven Americans. Israel has taken $21+ billion in US aid while doing it all. And still, the Trump-Vance-Rubio administration celebrates Donald Trump receiving the "Israel Award":

(!) Just weeks before Jeffrey Epstein was dead, Donald Trump’s Department of Justice was apparently monitoring Julie Brown, a journalist who has led coverage on Epstein. Why?

[ADVISER]: Ok team we have to delay more Epstein Files again. We’ll announce on christmas eve. Let’s try to get through this news cycle quietly [TRUMP]:

Weiss’ doubling down on stopping the CECOT story comes after her initial justifications to stop it were undermined: She said it had to address how Trump admin was legally justifying its actions. It did. She said it had to address criminal histories of the deportees. It did.

From standing up to top politicians and ICE raids, to reporting truthfully on Gaza and outsider voices, @premthakker.bsky.social is helping us do the journalism no one else will.

“I think headlining your email with ‘Rebuilding Trust’ is rich coming from the person that broke it in the first place,” one CBS source says on Bari Weiss’s note to staff, sharing this meme:

AHEM ==>> bsky.app/profile/mari... I keep saying: subscribe to @zeteo.com if among other things you’ve like to stay ahead of the curve during this second trump era

New Bari Weiss & CBS leadership note to staff— “…Americans say they do not trust the press…To win back their trust, we have to work hard.” “Sometimes it means telling unexpected stories…sometimes it means holding a piece about an important subject to make sure it is comprehensive and fair.”

Trumpland Grades His Epstein Cover-Up an ‘F-Minus’ ‘They keep making it look like we have something to hide,’ a White House official complains to Zeteo, writes @swin24.bsky.social, @premthakker.bsky.social, and @andrewperez.bsky.social. Read it here: zeteo.com/p/trump-epst...

“It’s the new Jeffrey Epstein jet.” Kristi Noem “posting a fun video in front of caged, tatted men.” Look how Bari Weiss’ The Free Press wrote about CECOT — the El Salvador megaprison Trump shipped people to — just months before she stopped the 60 Minutes segment on it: zeteo.com/p/bari-weiss...

White House Senior Advisor Stephen Miller has spent years weaponizing hatred to become the mastermind of Trump’s crackdown on marginalized groups. Zeteo traces his most hateful, strange, and downright cringey moments along the way.

Bari Weiss Praised El Salvador’s Dictator Before Spiking '60 Minutes' Story on His Torture Prison Weiss touted El Salvador’s leader while her blog published jokes about immigrants sent to CECOT, writes @premthakker.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/bari-weiss...

NEW — Based on the aired ‘60 Minutes’ CECOT segment, several of Bari Weiss’s stated reasons to stop the story are inaccurate. She said the segment did not present the admin’s argument for deporting people to CECOT. It does. She said the segment did not detail deportee criminal histories. It does.

TikTok is removing clips of the leaked 60 Minutes segment. The Ellison family (which acquired Paramount — CBS’s parent company — and The Free Press, making Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS) is set to co-own TikTok through a Trump-backed deal.

New: Months before Bari Weiss pulled the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, her outlet The Free Press was joking about the megaprison Trump has lawlessly deported people to. "The hottest campaign spot…the new Jeffrey Epstein jet…the place to see and be seen." @andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social

Van Hollen, Schatz, 15 other Dems demand Trump-Vance-Rubio get press into Gaza. "The world has relied on brave Palestinian journalists…for uncensored reporting," citing 200+ Israel has killed. They add Israel only lets in controlled media "who are not permitted to freely engage with Palestinians."

A woman who leads something called “The Free Press” and who got the made-up job title CBS “Editor-in-Chief” openly says journalism is when you only run stories if your subject responds to you:

On a call just now, Bari Weiss tells staff she held the CECOT story because it wasn’t ready & to advance a months-old story, they need "the principals" on record. Yesterday, CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi warned if they can only do stories when government responds, it “gains control” over 60 Minutes.

Pretty amazing. While leading “Columbians for Academic Freedom,” Bari Weiss sought to get pro-Palestine Columbia professors fired. While leading “The Free Press,” Weiss is spiking stories to cover for a president who’s sought to get pro-Palestine Columbia students deported.

Support independent media that confronts politicians of all parties who infringe on the rights and liberties of Americans, and people across the world. A media outlet that stands by fellow journalists and the work they do, and truly supports a Free Press:

Bari Weiss has made repeated recent interview plans with Epstein associates (framing it as the kind of thing Americans want, while most just wanted the files). Now she spiked a story about the most famous Epstein associate kidnapping people & sending them to a foreign gulag.

Wow— “Government silence is a statement…If the standard for airing a story becomes ‘the government must agree to be interviewed,’ then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state.”

👍

Yeah Trump just redacted the entire Epstein Files but at least now you can go see the 700 day Kid Rock residency at The Donald J Trump and The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts without having to worry about possibly knowing that you’re sitting next to a pedophile

So the Epstein Files are: –not complete –comically redacted –not in a “searchable” format The Trump-Vance administration had months to recover from the embarrassing influencer binder photo-op and this is what they came up with. This is what they think of you

From the newest Epstein Files dump — an Israeli military sweatshirt in Epstein’s closet

Away from my desk today but if anyone has any tips or info on the Epstein Files today, please text me on Signal premthakker.35

Randy Fine actually has a Republican challenger: Aaron Baker, who I spoke with. He slams Fine ("Dipstick") for trying to ban certain flags while having an Israeli flag in his office. Says voters are refreshed by his stances like calling Israel's "genocide" as it is & not wanting kids to starve.

Remember awhile back when AIPAC dropped Randy Fine from their website after he said "starve away" in response to 4 kids in Gaza dying of starvation? AIPAC then said "consideration" for endorsing Fine would take place later. Well, turns out AIPAC has added Fine back to their site:

Oh would you look at the time

I know we're used to it, when you look at Trump's horrific post about Rob Reiner today, you do still ask yourself: Why? What could possibly be gained from this? I wrote about the defining characteristic of Donald Trump and all his flunkies: Vice Signaling.

“Vice signalling” should be word of the year.

The trump White House, commenting to @premthakker.bsky.social and me, for this story: "Zeteo News continues to solidify their reputation as a worthless gossip rag."

Insane. Netanyahu is blaming the horrible shooting in Australia on Australia calling to recognize Palestine as a state:

Wrote a letter to Republicans and Trump supporters. If you are one, I hope you read. If you know one, I hope you might send this to them. The People in Charge Think You’re as Bad as Them. Will You Let Them Be Right? My reflections on a growing trend I find very disturbing — Vice Signaling:

"At least two of the Brown University students who were on campus when a deadly shooting unfolded there on Saturday have survived school shootings before."

Current tally in the lawless killing spree at sea.

The Trump-Vance admin has been committing illegal strike after illegal strike. They're trying to normalize it. They're counting on you to lose track, to be too overwhelmed to remember the gravity of what they're doing. But we're keeping track of every single strike. So far: 22 strikes. 87 killed.

“Since he was sworn back into office nearly a year ago, Donald Trump and several administration officials have already informally discussed the idea of preemptively pardoning an array of Trump advisers, policymakers, and others…

NEW: As Pete Hegseth faces increasing calls to resign for his illegal strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific, sources tell us that Donald Trump has already been discussing preemptively pardoning officials he thinks may be criminally investigated once Democrats gain power. led by @swin24.bsky.social
