And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

One reason I think the Signal thing is breaking through is that most stories about the admin--even critical ones--have portrayed them as ruthless and dominant and this is a reminder they're actually just incredibly stupid and reckless

I just want to personally thank Pete Hegseth for proving my theory that when your entire personality is “minorities are incompetent,” it’s usually because you’re more incompetent than anyone could have imagined.

Consider this:

The Senate has just voted to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director in a narrow 51-47 majority.

Trump nominee Chris Wray passed 92-5.

Only Rand Paul voted against James Comey.

Robert Mueller was confirmed 98-0.

Patel is historically unqualified & we are not safe!

And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October.
