Why aren't the released Epstein Files set in Times New Roman 14-point? Is this administration full of liars or something?

Sharyn Alfonsi is an award-winning journalist who has worked for 60 Minutes for 20 years. Before that she reported for ABC, CBS & local news outlets. If Alfonsi says her story was spiked by Bari Weiss political reasons, that’s exactly what happened. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me.
Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

One of the biggest mistakes Dems made in transition is in not having Jack Smith testify openly about Jan6 before Durbin lost his gavel.

Gee wouldn't it be weird if we got into a pointless war every time a republican president was embattled and unpopular?

It’s not the main issue with the political moment, but it is annoying to me that 5–4 used to involve very interesting legal analysis and now every episode is just ‘yeah, the justices said republicans can do whatever they want again. They didn’t say why’

No argument here. Racist, corrupt, rapist, convicted felon, stupid and just a shitty person top to bottom.
This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Again, can you imagine if a writer of color, a Black reporter specifically, did what Olivia Nuzzi did, what would happen to her career?
Would she be rehabilitated in less than a year? Hired by Vanity Fair? Given a book deal? A NYT puff piece?
It's a big club and we ain't in it.

Larry Summers is really one of the most damaging figures of my lifetime. The morally bereft and powerless condition of the Democratic party these days is largely because of people like him. I don't think younger people realize what a key figure he was in the party adopting neoliberalism, whole cloth

I only got to hear Todd Snider in concert one time, when a friend who wanted me to hear him invited me to the show at the Great American in SF. It was such a memorable night, and not just because Ramblin Jack Elliott was on stage with him. Sad to hear that Todd Snider has passed on, far too young.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

Megyn Kelly, a survivor of sexual harassment & mother of a 14-year-old girl, went on television to defend men wanting to fuck "barely legal" 15-year-olds who "could pass for younger" b/c they're not "into like 8 year olds" & I truly don't know how broken you have to be to make that work for you.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
