An editor who thinks novelty is having a town hall with Alan Dershowitz, or publishing the thousandth anti-woke story, doesn’t think having first hand testimony of migrants suffering abuse because of US decisions is newsworthy.
Bari Weiss, cont'd: "I held that story because it wasn't ready. The story presented very powerful testimony of abuse in CECOT, but that testimony has already been reported... The public knows that Venezuelans have been subjected to horrific treatment in this prison... we simply need to do more."

In Hungary, Orban created a new model for authoritarians to gain control of the media without overt censorship.

He used regulatory and legal pressure to force media owners to sell their outlets to pro-regime allies.

In the US, Trump is using the same approach to consolidate media control.
During today's editorial call, Bari Weiss doubled down on pulling the CECOT segment while lashing out at Sharyn Alfonsi:

"The only newsroom that I'm interested in running is one where we are able to have contentious disagreements about the thorniest and editorial matters, and do so with respect."

The time to demand Bondi’s resignation or impeachment is NOW. Press them hard, put them on the defensive, and make this a key issue in the midterms.

It highlights everything wrong with the GOP — cult like loyalty to Trump, complete lawlessness, elite entitlement, etc.
#EpsteinCoverup is so blatantly hamfisted, it's political malpractice if Dems don't attack full bore: Impeach Bondi as the means to make it a defining issue next year in run-up to midterms.
Removing this obviously distributed-a-billion-times photo of Trump w/Melania, Epstein, & Maxwell from the DOJ release of files only points out the FBI team's foolish, slapdash attempt to cover up *any existence* of the adjudicated sexual assaulter FOTUS in them.

I will never forgive anyone who didn't vote for Clinton or Harris and brought us Trump. Moreso, the people in 2024 who saw what a fucking disaster Trump was and willingly gave him power. Trumpsters, third party voters and non voters, fuck you all to hell. You did this. You are to blame.

The NY Times interviewed over 30 of Epstein’s former employees, victims, & associates. The result is one of the most revealing looks into Trump’s sex crimes and friendship with Epstein seen in years.

We’ve condensed the massive story into a TIMELINE of some sex crimes related to Trump . . .

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE.
