Trump: "We're also going to be talking about buybacks. They spend so much money on buybacks. They want to buy back their stock. I don't want them to buy back their stock. I want them to put the money in plant and equipment so they can build these planes fast, rapidly, like, immediately."

A reminder that Donald Trump and Larry Ellison don't really care if Barry Weiss falls down on her face and looks like a clown. If she resigns, they'll replace her with another clown. Then another, then another. But that's still a good outcome for them. They just want CBS News defanged.
Wash Post, CBS News, next CNN?, etc are not money makers. The owners give the Trumpists what they want and get favorable treatment for their other businesses in exchange. Owners make money that way. The regime wants quiescence. No one in this exchange cares if the outlets have audience or profits.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.
Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

Greg Bovino strikes again.
![On October 27, 2025, in response to repeated public statements on the part of the
government that violated Local Rule 2.01 and threatened Mr. Abrego’s right to a fair trial, this
Court issued an Order (“October 27 Order” or the “Order”) prohibiting “[e]mployees of DOJ and
DHS” from making any public extrajudicial statements that “have a substantial likelihood of
materially prejudicing [this proceeding], including especially that will interfere with a fair trial.”
(Dkt 183 at 2-3 (quoting L. Crim. R. 2.01(a)(1))). The Court instructed counsel for the government
to transmit the October 27 Order to DOJ and DHS employees and warned that employees who fail
to comply with the Order “may be subject to sanctions.” (Id. at 1, 3).
On December 12 and 14, after Mr. Abrego was ordered released from DHS custody, and
in flagrant violation of this Court’s Order, Chief Border Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino—a senior
DHS officer—appeared on national news to call Mr. Abrego an “alien smuggler,” a “wife beater,”
and an “MS-13 gang member,” to attack the judges presiding over Mr. Abrego’s civil and criminal
cases as “activist” and “extremist,” and to promise that Mr. Abrego would be taken “out of
circulation” and deported. When defense counsel raised these statements with counsel for the
government, requesting a retraction, the government simply ignored defense counsel’s request—
meaning, the government did not even deign to respond to defense counsel’s email raising the
concern. Perhaps that is because there is no defense of Mr. Bovino’s conduct: Mr. Bovino’s
statements clearly violate this Court’s October 27 Order. The government’s failure even to
acknowledge the issue raises serious questions about its willingness to comply with that Order
moving forward.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qqdqgzpqwyho4cxzso62m54q/bafkreigbeo7l443fjeg3fwmflgwp6wlkva7uxgbusdcolr3xs4vilztrtu@jpeg)
