Toby Morton, a 'South Park' alum, bought www.trumpkennedycenter.org months ago on a hunch that the ridiculously vain Donald Trump would rename the Center. Donald’s stupidity is only exceeded by his predictability.

"Remembering the Christmas Spirit and Saving it From Trump"

MAGA and Donald Trump continue betraying and abusing Jesus and Christianity to further serve the perverse agenda of the right-wing, whose true God is wealth, power and white supremacy.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Wow! Letter from Epstein to a convicted sex offender Larry Nassar right before Epstein’s death.

This was in the files the DOJ released last night and then removed from their site.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. 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. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

💔 829 days is far too long. MELIA is just a sweet, playful, loving dog who just needs that right person & a peaceful adult only home. No dogs. Cats are ok. Shes only 3.5 years old.

Only a person easily bribed would think that everyone else is easily bribed. $1776 to the soldiers. $1500 to you, to cover a lifetime of medical expenses. $2000 tariff refund.
A man with billions of dollars thinks you can be bought for 2 grand.

The Vanity Fair photographer knew what he was doing. (I doubt I’m the first to notice this but it hasn’t graced my TL)
Side-by-side black and white headshot photographs of two men, likely from the mid-20th century. One is Stephen Miller. The Other is Goebbels

Good analysis of what the Vanity Fair Pics denote.
That Vanity Fair piece is a million times more brutal once you start noticing these subtle details in a bunch of the photographs used. I would simply walk into the ocean and never return if something ...

As your electricity bill goes up, remember—it doesn’t have to be this way.

Democrats invested in expanding clean energy to lower costs.

Trump killed those investments to protect costly fossil fuels, just as AI data centers drive demand even higher.
Energy bills in US have increased 13% since Trump took office, new report finds
The amount of money Americans are paying toward their energy bills has increased since President Donald Trump took office earlier this year, according to a new report.

Adding to that, I don't notice the entire left insisting without evidence that Reiner was killed for his political beliefs by far-right operatives, but I did see the Republican president approvingly suggest it.

When exactly is the grim vengeance rally thinly disguised as a Reiner memorial, again?
donmoyn.bsky.social Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 13d
Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.
