DAMMIT It's Not Alzheimer's! Here's Why It's A Far Worse Nightmare Scenario
You deserve the facts, not conjecture. Alzheimer's diminishes a person. Trump's not diminishing, he's escalating, and you need to know the frightening reason why.

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their
stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”
Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

If you're a staffer at 60 Minutes who worked on that CECOT segment that got yanked by Bari Weiss at the last minute, figure out a way to leak it. Not saying it's an easy decision or there won't be consequences, but ask yourself why you got into journalism in the first place.

Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me.

Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

🔥WOW— Sharyn Alfonsi to her @60Minutes colleagues: “Bari Weiss spiked it without a call to discuss… a political decision… we have effectively handed Trump a kill switch… we go from an investigative powerhouse to a STENOGRAPHER FOR THE STATE… corporate censorship…”

When Trump came back to office, Putin studied psychological profiles of his circle and decided he wanted to deal with Witkoff not Kellogg. A year later, Kellogg is out and Witkoff, who Trump says "knew nothing" about Russia, has been to Russia six times. www.wsj.com/world/putin-...
Witkoff’s Other Backer in His Unlikely Diplomatic Ascent: Putin
The Kremlin release of an American prisoner and a Saudi backchannel bolstered the rise of Trump’s longtime friend.

We already knew Bill Clinton and other Dems were in the files. But we said release everything and let the chips fall. Congress passed a law to release everything. But DOJ decided to violate that law by cherry picking certain things while covering for Trump and his cronies.

I don't do much looking back at my own writing, but I've been thinking about this piece a lot today. From tenderly protecting Trump from criminal consequences to enthusiastically helping him dismantle the administrative state, Roberts owns it all.

New rule: do not start TikTok rumors about the orange one dying. It gives people false hope, drives clicks, and then crushes what little optimism is left when it’s not true. That kind of bait isn’t harmless.

Authors, remember that you CAN insist on human translation for your foreign-language editions and have it written into your contracts. You can no longer just assume you're going to get a human to work on the book whose every word you wrote with intent.

Do it. Take these to another grand jury. Then a 2nd and a 3rd, until we get a breaking news story about how much you suck at this. And if you do manage to get a true bill, we can watch you lose again in pretrial motions. Do it! I live to watch you lose! www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
