This is incredibly worth reading in light of what is happening now and the basis on which Trump and Rubio are pursuing charges against Maduro.

Rubio "Cuba is a disaster. It's run by incompetent, senile men." As Trump tries to stay awake.

Agree or disagree with the merits of the operation, you can't help but be in awe of the audacious Al Qaeda operation that brought down two towers in Lower Manhattan.

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago

Rex Sinquefield just dumped $250,000 into MAGA AG Catherine Hanaway's legal money laundry- Conservative Justice for Missouri PAC.

Still waiting for reporters to ask Hanaway about this ⬇️ lawsuit. She chaired Husch Blackwell when the alleged abuse of 401(k) funds happened.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

A reminder that Bari Weiss was hired to do exactly this: strangle news coverage that is critical of Donald Trump and MAGA. Here she's got the gall to suggest that a journalist with 30 years of hard news experience made some basic reporting mistakes. Come on.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.
