You might question her methods, but credit to Bari Weiss: her leadership has pushed 60 Minutes into new formats and attracted a bunch of new viewership outside the normal broadcast audience.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is shooting down a Republican-led bipartisan bill to end stock trading so that Democrats can counter with their own bill that is unlikely to succeed. From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/5zmkTDg

These guys are fighting an opposition that would be happy to see all of them in jail, and they come up with this weak shit.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

If the right to free speech does not include the right to oppose an active genocide using strong and unmitigated language, then there is no freedom of speech. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/if-youre-n...

We created a new tool that uses prescription label information to identify where your drug was made. It also lets you see if and when that factory was inspected for quality and safety violations. Try it out 👇

NEW: I Started Covering the COVID-19 Crisis in Albany, Georgia. This Moment Made Me Realize There Was a Bigger Story to Tell. The virus had killed about 38 people, most of them Black, by April 2020. But when a white judge died, local officials made sure to announce her name.

I don’t think the law passed by Congress said that DOJ has to release less than 1% of the materials by Dec 19.

If you're rich, you get to help your fellow elites create problems while you're in power - and then you get to be valorized by media after you leave office when you conveniently claim you want to fix those problems you created, but now you have no power to do so.

1. BREAKING Congressman Ro Khanna — who co-authored the Epstein bill with Congressman Thomas Massie — says the Trump Department of Justice’s Epstein files release today DOES NOT comply with federal law.

This is part of the Trump administration’s Epstein Files release — 119 pages of Grand Jury testimony, fully redacted. This is not transparency. This is a cover-up. Follow the law and release ALL of the damn files.

Stunning new revelation: Epstein hung out almost exclusively with guys who had black boxes where their heads should be.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly left a restaurant in Washington, D.C. after a woman heckled him.

@governorwalz.mn.gov had these guys nailed

When an Omaha mother discovered high levels of lead in her son’s blood, she looked up EPA soil tests and discovered potentially harmful levels of the metal in her yard. City officials said her home didn’t qualify for a government-funded cleanup. With @flatwaterfreep.bsky.social

Ghislaine Maxwell, the accomplice of convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, and her lawyers filed a motion on Wednesday to dismiss all charges against her, according to a new report.

This is incredible (good news too): “After a 40% fall in 2024 in battery equipment costs, it’s clear we’re on track for another major fall in 2025…The economics for batteries are unrecognizable, & the industry is only just getting to grips with this new paradigm” www.pv-magazine.com/2025/12/12/b...

EDITOR'S NOTE: The idea that "a story isn't fair unless it treats every story as a two-sided affair and presents both sides with equal weight for balance ... usually amounts to filtering stories and issues through the prism of America’s two-party political system," Ashton Pittman writes.

“Look what [Trump] did to this country and the polarization – got all the cockroaches to rise to the top. Once upon a time, you were embarrassed to be publicly racist and out there with conspiracy theories. Now it’s all out in the open because he allowed it.” - Gene Simmons, 2022

Time to discuss who the real criminals are…

🚨Pam Bondi is ordering the FBI to “compile a list" of Americans who may be extremists, per signed memo leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/leak-fbi-l...

They're ALL admitting to war crimes!

It’s pretty funny that this is almost the exact same amount of money Netflix paid for Warner Bros and HBO and CNN, all that for this

Who knows? Maybe some of the big platformed voices out there are starting to sound more sane- oh.

its so crazy that young people became less interested in movies & tv at the same time weird tech guys mostly started deciding what gets made

This is ALWAYS what the TikTok ban was about. It was never about China or “child safety.” Same for KOSA and these other “online safety” bills in congress right now. The goal is complete and total control over online speech and independent journalism

Trump’s top economic adviser doesn’t know the price of gasoline.

The NYT definitely made a choice not to add “without evidence” to this headline.

I wrote a book about US media’s complicity in the Gaza genocide. It's available for pre-order. It’s a data-driven and, I hope, thorough account of how center-left media sold the American public on mass death in Gaza. Out 4/21. 100% of royalties go to @mecaforpeace.bsky.social.

Van Hollen is being personally credited as the chief pressure point that made Israel release a Palestinian teenager with American citizenship from their dungeons, where he was held for 9 months without even a criminal charge.

A note on SaneWashing: I read part of this post to family (all liberal Democrats who consume a lot of news, but not social media), and it blew their mind. They all thought it was parody: if Corporate Media did not SaneWash, it would shock US, his approval would plummet from low (30s) to lower(20s).

THE NERD REICH omfg

Excellent episode on how the Democrats are faux opposing the genocide in Gaza while still actively supporting the genocide in Gaza despite more than 78% of registered Democrats against supporting the zionist colony. Even now the Democratic Party is a pro genocide party - do not trust _any_ of them

Hey, congratulations to all of Olivia Nuzzi’s horny media critic defenders. Heckuva job!

🚨NEWS: A tech giant has filed a lawsuit asking federal courts to grant artificial intelligence algorithms a First Amendment right for to help landlords raise rent prices. What stage of capitalism is this?

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office said it would cost $244.64 to review the emails between Abbott and Musk, which @kutnews.bsky.social and The Texas Newsroom paid. After the check was cashed, Abbott’s and Musk’s lawyers sought to keep the records secret.

This is DISGUSTING

Elon introduces feature on twitter that allows anyone to see where the account is located. All the far right and pro Israel meme accounts turn out to not be based in the US. Elon shuts down the feature

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

Everyone getting mad at the New York Times for sitting on or suppressing mountains of evidence about Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump need to realize that they had a lot on their plate with trying to keep the country afraid of trans kids and Palestinians

WHY, indeed
