This is what every institution he threatens with frivolous defamation suits should be doing
President Trump’s spiteful defamation suit against the Pulitzer Prize Board may backfire, as the latter is now demanding Trump’s psychological records, prescription medication records, and tax returns in the discovery process. trib.al/LUCScTR

I'm surprised this isn't obvious to everyone but he sucks and people don't like him
JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse.

Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

feels quaint to even mention it at this point but the supreme court's total lack of interest in defending the lower court judges who routinely receive maga death threats and swatting attempts for ruling against trump really illustrates who utterly lawless the high court has become

powerhouse cover story closing out our 2025
So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.

I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.

They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.
Trump’s Immigration Nightmare: It Is Happening Here

unfortunately for Bari, people can see the story she killed to please her paymasters for themselves; the only person whose trust is being put to the test is her own
New Bari Weiss & CBS leadership note to staff—

“…Americans say they do not trust the press…To win back their trust, we have to work hard.”

“Sometimes it means telling unexpected stories…sometimes it means holding a piece about an important subject to make sure it is comprehensive and fair.”

if you haven't already used Thanksgiving or Hanukkah to break this peculiar news to normies, make sure you use Christmas or New Year's to introduce normie liberal family members to Chuck Schumer's racist Massapequa tulpas
@primaryschool.bsky.social I got to introduce some of my politically active but not super plugged in family to the Bailey's tonight, and it was pretty awesome to see the normies flip hard

hard agree
Political and corporate spokespeople now regularly treat a request for comment from the mainstream media as an opportunity to drop a free ad into the middle of the story. Bad faith non-responses should just be discarded, with a note that they declined to respond to the substance of the question.
WH spokesperson Abigail Jackson said "60 Minutes should spend their time and energy amplifying the stories of Angel Parents, whose innocent American children have tragically been murdered by vicious illegal aliens that President Trump are removing from the country."

Mystified by Dems worriedly telling everyone to be careful because the letter is probably fake. There's no proof it's fake. Just take the win! Act like Republicans for once and run with it. Assume it's real. Donald Trump is a pedophile. Make headlines. Do TikTok videos. Shove it down their throats.

Jason's right. This show rocks.

Also the STC venues will have among other things Bill Irwin doing Beckett, a live PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, HAMNET, and Wendell Pierce as Othello. Ex-TDJT+TJFKCenter patrons have a place to go for live awesome.
The Shakespeare Theatre’s GUYS AND DOLLS is superb and Julie Benko was especially incredible and dead ass funny

Read this thread on the 60 Minutes CECOT episode that aired in Canada despite Bari trying to bury it. Some horrific details and revelations. And keep in mind that the US is sending people to torture and concentration camps.
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.
