Santa overshot Andrews by 15 miles. He went to Rock Creek Park, sir. Walter Reed Hospital is there. My father is there. No father should get presents before his son.

When we did this profile, the White House refused to make Stephen Miller available for an interview and took days to give us their response. It turns out they were collecting testimonials from people willing to say they like him

Of course

“the American-born and designated neo-Nazi terrorist group the Base – once a major preoccupation of FBI counter-terrorism efforts – has all but faded from US headlines. But a flurry of online activities shows the group is still active stateside” 🧐

Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, will return in Avengers: Doomsday.

JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse.

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

staffer: you talked to the little girls? trump: sure did, real fuckin creepy just like you asked staffer: what

You don't just happen to "find" a million documents. www.cnn.com/2025/12/24/p...

Without definitions, Russia can do things like this -- simply decide the RS-26 is no longer an IRBM and stick it in Belarus. That sort of limit, which isn't really a limit at all, doesn't offer much but goodwill. Personally, I would doubt the goodwill of anyone who takes me for a fool.

Here's a particularly juicy nugget I found in my reporting . . .

It was entirely predictable but if Kamala D. Harris randomly conjured up a battleship on a wholly unrealistic timeline with weapons not actually in production with the same cost as a carrier, these guys would be hurling slurs not seen since reconstruction, instead it’s just:

Professor gets bad student evaluations. #Satire

I have seen DOJ do some strange redactions before, but this is up there:

😕

always amazed to see the ways people will debase themselves for free

"As his popularity diminishes and his political power becomes more contested, he’s likely to become more reckless and more determined to harm the nation he was elected to lead. Americans, therefore, must be prepared to defend their country with only greater vigilance and vigor."

Something very funny about de santis praising Coolidge for “immigration.” Coolidge’s immigration policy was that people named de santis shouldn’t be allowed to come here bsky.app/profile/anth...

And the fact that he has to do this because our President is a mad wannabe king is fucking INSANE.

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...

Ut oh. DOJ posted a bunch of deliberative files on 2019 prosecutorial decisions, then took it all down. I guess Todd Blanche feels like he has to directly compete with Bari Weiss for stupidity? www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

See, here is the thing about saying everything is a national security matter...

It appears the link above finally stopped worrying. If you want to watch the story Bari spiked, you can see it in five parts here:

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

As we all knew, there is no justifiable reasons for these redactions.

Thread of stories run by Bari Weiss's group blog that did not ask the targets of (frequently uncorroborated) accusations for comment, let alone give them a preemptive veto over the story:

NEW: Judge Cannon blocks release of Special Counsel's report about Trump’s retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. “There is no legitimate reason for the report’s continued suppression. ... We will appeal this ruling," @scottbwilkens.bsky.social. knightcolumbia.org/content/judg...

Fair use.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

yeah Bari lied

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

1/ By now you've probably watched the 60 Minutes Bari Weiss spiked (archive.org/details/3mam...). It discusses how Venezuelans were sent to CECOT b/c of innocuous tattoos, a story that @nlanard.bsky.social and @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social first broke open: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: Judge Boasberg said the administration's goal in rushing to deport the men — after Trump's secret invocation of the Alien Enemies Act — was clearly meant to evade court review until they were in CECOT. w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Samizdat can be powerful. I did not think I would see Americans having to resort to samizdat.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

Anyone who sends people to concentration camps to be tortured should be tried and, if found guilty, hanged like the Nazis they are.

Weiss might want the show's stars to quit so she can replace them with someone like Matt Taibbi or that Free Press lightweight who bragged about reading all of Mamdani's tweets.

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

The right, along the Roberts Court, is trying to nullify the Reconstruction amendments guaranteeing equality under the law, in order to restore the Antebellum Constitution, which envisions “liberty” as an eternal aristocracy of race and class (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Wrong. The First Amendment protects our right to record law enforcement activity in public — full stop.
