One thing Bill Whitaker is gonna do on @60minutes.bsky.social is report the truth. Whoever’s in charge.
Especially coming on the heels of Justice Thomas’ recent remarks about “incivility,” this report on the uniquely vicious and menacing attacks on lower federal court judges is important.
When policing, institutional legitimacy and the Epstein files collide. My latest on the failure of the DOJ and their horrific treatment of the victims.
When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.
I'm unsurprised to see more legislation that puts barriers in front of government liability, except this was sponsored by Democrats??? What the heck are they doing? Sure, it would save some money, but you know what else saves money? Accountability for the criminal negligence that's causing lawsuits
The FDA has refused to accept an application from Moderna to review its first mRNA seasonal flu vaccine, the company said, in another setback for the technology that’s been a target of some Trump administration health officials. https://cnn.it/4kt8iyn

Right: actual Marc Randazza on Twitter.
They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.
The Deportation Data Project has some interesting information about how people are being arrested by immigration police and what is happening.
First thing worth pointing out, the increased number of immigration arrests are from massive "street arrests" and more transfers from other agencies.
About fucking time.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

STOLEN HONOR
Pres. Kennedy fought in war, inspired a nation, was assassinated, & honored in death. How does ANY living president steal honors given to the dead❓This is like prowling a cemetery stealing memorial flowers from the graves for your own personal bouquet. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...
Vandals decapitated and smashed the statue of Mary in an Evanston church’s outdoor Nativity scene Friday, and the church responded by replacing it with a sign saying Mary was beaten & dragged away in front of her son and is being held in immigration detention.

A Quote Tweet from NYC Councilmember Vickie Paladino @VickieForNYC stating: “We’re in the midst of a global jihad the likes of which the world has never seen, and we cannot ignore it. “We need to take every seriously the need to begin the expulsion of Muslims from western nations, or at the very least the severe sanction of them within western borders. “The administration needs to begin developing a formal legal framework for the denaturalization process and get it over with before we end up with another 9/11 or worse. Enough is enough.” The quoted tweet from @DrewPavlu stating: “AUSTRALIAN HERO TOOK GUN OFF SHOOTER “TERROR ATTACK SYDNEY AT LEAST 10 DEAD “AUSTRALIAN HERO TOOK DOWN GUNMAN”
A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.
This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.
In a fleeting moment I almost said this was similar to the ending of kids knowing how to drive a stick shift. Then I thought that is the worst analogy ever because because people still needed to know how to drive. This generation is not getting smarter, they are getting lazier b/c of tech
The use of acquitted conduct at sentencing is one of those things where people don't believe it when you tell them about it because it sounds like nonsense.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to US citizen detained by ICE: "I apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say 'police.' That's embarrassing."
Ten publications declined to print Olivia’s lies: The New York Times, The New York Post, Semafor, The Daily Beast, The Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, The Washington Post, People, Business Insider, and The U.S. Sun. But Olivia’s plot to find a “sleazy reporter” who would print her claims without vetting was successful with one person at one outlet: Dylan Byers at Puck.
I'm sorry to add to this conversation but this section from the latest Lizza novel is worth elevating.
Excited for Retro Covid.
“Instead of being shielded, our children are being recruited into a lifestyle of drug selling and drug usage by the current system.”

There’s a reason Caesar was forbidden to cross the Rubicon and return to Rome with his army. It’s what separates a relatively free society from a fascist one.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.
"One of Tina Peters’ lawyers, Peter Ticktin, suggested on Trump ally Steve Bannon’s podcast this week that the military be used to free Peters from prison."
And that, my friends, is what we would call "an illegal order."
This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
