It's almost like they're intentionally poisoning the record and associated information environment so no one will be confident in which evidence is trustworthy and which is fake
The DOJ publishing and unpublishing unverified documents, some of which are found to be doctored or inauthentic, is incredibly reckless.

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

God this is such a fucking bummer. The thing they think DEI is is actually what they are. Bari Weiss's talents are: getting rich people to give her money, and cosplaying as a "journalist" by using centrism and faux objectivity language to obscure her persistent bias and sizable incompetence.
This email from Sharyn Alfonsi to her colleagues after Bari Weiss killed their @60minutes.bsky.social piece on CECOT is powerful and worth a full read. (h/t @yasharali.bsky.social)

Inflation is making homelessness worse
Rising housing costs, combined with persistent inflation for basic necessities like gas and food, have left more Americans newly homeless and millions more fearing they’ll soon lose their homes.

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.
