Or you might call them "camps" where people are to be "concentrated" until they are deported. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair." One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

If no one else tells you today

Education Dept will garnish 15% of wages from people in default on student loans. Biden sought forgiveness, but SCOTUS blocked it. Tariffs and soaring insurance costs shrink paychecks. Meanwhile billionaires get tax cuts while the ACA subsidies are cut. That’s not policy—it’s punishment.

My #Pluribus review: perfect finale, perfect setup for S2. Cannot wait for more. A goat devastated me. I don’t want to hear any shit about the hive being good and right. I stand by my low opinion of them even more.

Some non-spoilery #Pluribus thoughts: • Carol is right to be drunk and cranky. • Manousos is right to have machete-wielding paranoia. • Zosia is an adorable mystery. • The Laxmi bit is funny, but I want her to be a real character with nuanced POV in S2.

"Do you want to save the world or get the girl?" 🫠 #Pluribus

Good grief, the Pluribus tag this morning is almost nothing but hate or really tired "nothing happens" jokes. Feels weird and coordinated.

Merry Christmas Eve to all my bloomfs!!! 🎄🎄🎄

"For all the extraordinary, irreplaceable good George has done for others, what makes his life finally wonderful—awe inspiring, mysterious—is what has been done for him. He never, after all, set out to win Mary Hatch."

This👇Jake Tapper story.🥴😂

Epstein files appear to show Andrew asking Ghislaine Maxwell for ‘inappropriate friends’

Best "What's in the box?" EVER. #Pluribus

OMG THAT LAST LINE! SO GOOD! #Pluribus

See you kids in 2 years. Same time, same place. #Pluribus

The closer Shady Pants gets to the Oval Office, the more racist he's going to be because he wants you to forget his wife is Usha not Ursula.

I'm suing HHS after they made an unlawful and baseless attempt to limit gender-affirming care for young people. The federal government should not interfere in decisions that belong in doctors’ offices.  I'll always stand up for New Yorkers’ health, dignity, and rights.

You are effectively arguing that not voting is the default and only if the stars align do you vote. Functionally that means that you have no preference as to how the election turns out. That either comes from a position of privilege or nihilism.

Meet an American hero.

the best way to protect Jewish people from fascism in the US is to fight fascism in the US. It is not to protect a violent fascist government in Israel.

Shocked and allowing myself to be momentarily thrilled & relieved that SCOTUS blocked Trump deploying the national guard to Chicago. I don’t trust this court to help us fight fascism but I’ll take any small win where we can get it

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejects the Trump administration’s request to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois at this time, over the dissenting votes of Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-admi...

BREAKING: The US Supreme Court has BLOCKED President Trump from deploying the National Guard to Chicago.

I didn't see any bloomfs doing this, but as a general rule of thumb, I'd advise against speculating about the nature of Mickey's situation based on information we don't have. #bb27 It is beyond irresponsible to present speculation that could be misconstrued as factual when information is limited.

Did you even bother to watch the piece, Sally? If you had, then you would know that Bari Weiss was bullshitting.

NEW: Sen Chuck Schumer (D-NY) introduces resolution urging Senate legal action against Trump Admin for “for illegally refusing to release the complete Epstein files and heavily redacting the files”

If the Democrats retake Congress this must be on the priority list of legislative initiatives. Yes, Trump will veto it. But signing this bill must be a campaign issue for any 2028 Dem candidate. reason.com/2025/12/17/t...

I sure wish an overwhelming majority of the American people would vote Democratic, because then they'd get the good things they claim to want.

I love that the likelihood of the baby drop is random is very slim and that they chose a #lesbian couple to parent their baby, if even for a little while. 🥹 #TheChristmasBaby #HallmarkChannel #LGBTQ

Just watched Kat's movie, The Christmas Baby. Loved it! Alsoooo can we talk about how we got like 4 wlw kisses in this Hallmark movie?! 🥰 #Hallmark #TheChristmasBaby @hallmark.bsky.social

Agreed. They had great chemistry. And I would much rather see a sequel to this than yet another Three Wise Men Whatever. #TheChristmasBaby

#TheChristmasBaby was sweet! Plus a nice change of pace from the usual holiday movie formula. And one of the better Hallmark movies this year. It’s real shame the network has been straying away from diversity lately. Not only because of representation, but also because it makes their movies better.

Highly recommend The Christmas Baby premiering tonight on Hallmark Channel. We also need to show places that invest in queer storytelling at a time where many are backing away, that we are watching and supporting.

Always remember they could have done a "Return of the Scarlet Witch" movie with their ACTUALLY POPULAR 2020s characters but fuck that, Kathryn Hahn is 52. Oh, wait, how old is RDJ again?

Still annoyed that they’re bringing back Steve Rogers. His story had a great finish in End Game. It should have been left there. Not to mention, this undermines Sam Wilson’s story as the new Cap.

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

Among the newly-released Epstein files. This Justice Dept email from Jan 2020 'I wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported"

The 60 minutes segment Bari Weiss killed is here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

so the two notable programming moves bari weiss has made at CBS are... airing an interview nobody watched and not airing a 60 Minutes segment that everybody watched. it's like she's satirizing herself

It’s shameful that Bari Weiss censored this story and wouldn’t allow #60Minutes to air what is clearly a well-researched report that meets journalistic standards. CBS is becoming state television.

BREAKING: Here’s the 60 Minutes Segment Trump and CBS News Executives Don’t Want You to See Video (no paywall): bit.ly/4qn6Jn5

If it weren't for Bari Weiss, the CECOT video wouldn't go viral as it did. Kudos, I guess.

They really gave $150 million to hire the dumbest, least competent news producer in the history of television

It's 2025, and we're sharing bootleg 60 Minutes segments broadcast in other countries because our own country is being run by fascists and their billionaire-owned state media helpers, just as the Founding Fathers intended, of course.

Bernie is just Not It right now, he has failed to rise to the moment on fascism (especially around immigration) and the electoral left really needs to finish this baton handoff, yesterday

Sigh

I think The Odyssey looks awesome

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:
