You will be shocked to learn that Bari Weiss’s claimed reason for torpedoing reporting unfriendly to Trump, namely that the reporting “wasn’t new”, doesn’t track with what was actually in the 60 Minutes report
Oligarchs bought CBS News to support their version of reality

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.
It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

Oh, you mean TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet who was interviewed by the NYTimes’s Ross Douthat THIS WEEK where he talked about how much he cares about fact-based, non-conspiratorial media and Ross didn’t challenge him at all on that assertion?
Brown University released a statement about a Palestinian student that's being smeared online as the shooting suspect.
Not going to share his post because it includes the student's personal info but one of those spreading this harmful rumor was the spokesperson for Turning Point USA, Andrew Kolvet.

Take a moment to meet FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. He is the guy who is leading the agency that is working overtime to enrich his MAHA patrons by taking away your kids’ access to vaccines & essential medicines. He’s replacing evidence-based regulation with corruption.
FDA Commissioner Marty Makary built his platform not on science but on spectacle. Makary turned a medical career into a megaphone for misinformation. Once a surgeon and professor, he built his brand on public skepticism, rising to power by attacking the very scientific standards he now oversees.

It should be a MUCH bigger story with the national media that our military leaders are leaving rather than follow illegal orders from the Admin
Adm. Alvin Holsey, the commander of US Southern Command who reportedly clashed with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the legality of US military strikes in the Caribbean, officially retired in a ceremony in Florida where he handed the reins of the command to his deputy. https://cnn.it/3KZpPRl

This is exactly what the bosses who put Trump into office were trying to achieve. Crushing the tight labor market from the early Biden years that gave workers - for the first time in my adult lifetime - leverage over their bosses.

US labor market flows remained sluggish in October data released this morning, as hiring slowed to nearly the lowest level since early COVID
The hiring rate fell to 3.2%, layoffs rose to 1.2%, quits fell to 1.8%, and job openings rose to 4.6%

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
