CBS, now under Bari Weiss's control, has pulled their 60 Minutes program "Inside CECOT" episode that was due to air, because "it needed more reporting." The 30-second show promo video has been pulled from YouTube and set to private so nobody can watch it.
It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now.
It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

The thing about the Free Press is that you can read it and have no idea that Trump is violating the purported values of the publication, or even that he is President. And the Free Press is the reason why Bari Weiss was put in charge of CBS News.

All of the people in this photo descend from America's 2nd Vice President and 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson. Would JD consider these people white? If not, why not? They're all "heritage Americans" in that they descend from a founder, yes?

🤡There's never been a time in US history where people expect you to apologize *for being white*. People expect you to apologize*for being pro-racism*.
Worldwide, fewer than half of all white people are pro-racism.♥️
In the US it takes an active disinfo campaign to keep the pro-racism group > 50%.

“The key to strategic competition with the CCP is to adopt the Democratic Party’s core principles. As a country based on creed and law, not blood and soil, America cannot ever be beaten.”

I worked at South End Press in the 90s and met/hung out with Chomsky a few times.
A lot of professional leftists are prickly, under-socialized, and/or annoying.
Chomsky is just a jerk. He wouldn’t notice Epstein’s flaws because, fundamentally, he’s also just an arrogant white dude.

Melinda Gates was able to see that Jeffrey Epstein was not a good person right away. Given Chomsky's critique of oligarchs, you'd think he'd be able to figure it out as well.

One thing worth remembering as all of this Epstein stuff roils is that we know of multiple occasions in which women were paid to keep them from talking about having sex with Trump.
WELKER: Why was this photo of a desk with a drawer open containing photos of Trump taken down?
BLANCHE: You can see in that photo there are photos of women. We learned there were concerns about them.
W: Are you saying those women are victims of Epstein?
B: No, that's not what I'm saying.

My dad died from complications due to Alzheimer’s.
I remember the first time they gave him this test. It was BECAUSE it was already quite clear something was very wrong, even if we didn’t yet have a diagnosis, and even if he did okay the first time.
This isn’t some routine prophylactic exam.

NIST's time services going down is less about "oh no things are going to break" (we are very resilient to muti-second drift even if people didn't have backups like GPS) and more about "oh no this is a crucial service we are being reminded has multiple underfunded and vulnerable chokepoints"

Likewise, if you're actually thinking about politics at a national level, you can (and should) have representatives in safe districts take less popular but politically important policy positions because they can do so with impunity and WAR would make anyone who does this look worse

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).
