Just a level-setting reminder that "No war" is just about the simplest political message that can possibly be communicated, and every trained political communicator who doesn't get it across to you is making a deliberate choice not to.

Can’t name it exactly, but this a the peculiar quality of insipid contentlessness that makes you know it came from Weiss directly.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.

One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, who began 2025 defending their votes for many of Trump's cabinet picks on the grounds that good relations with the administration would better serve their constituents, end it by denouncing Trump's retaliatory veto of a unanimously-passed drinking water bill.

Any time you see stuff like this it's worth remembering that the country is on a permanent one-way ratchet towards more and more of it until it has at least one major political party willing to be credibly accused of "defunding" law enforcement, which it currently does not.
New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows.

We're only about $100 short of our goal.

It's the last day of our end-of-year fundraising campaign. If just 10 people contribute $10 before midnight, we could cross the finish line.

The Leopards Drinking People's Water Party
GOP Rep Lauren Boebert is OK with Trump punishing Colorado over immigration, climate research, or Tina Peters. Just not her district's project.

"These are people who overwhelmingly voted for President Trump," Boebert told me. "These are not the people who should be attacked"

The House's first order of business after the 3 a.m. post-coup-attempt EC certification was to send members home for a four-day weekend. And leadership initially said there would only be pro forma sessions until after the inauguration, a plan that didn't officially change until Monday the 11th.

I think this really is an aptitude of sorts that she has, and goes a long way towards explaining why she’s been able to fool enough people to get to where she is.
The most impressive thing about Bari is her ability to violate ethical principles while indignantly claiming to defend them.
Weiss concluded: “We need to be able to make every effort to get the principals on the record and on camera. To me, our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else. And that is my North Star, and I hope it's the North Star of every person in this newsroom.”

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.
