Outrageous that the CECOT segment was pulled by CBS news. Would love to see major hue and cry from other media, and public outcry, if not quitting, from CBS news stars.

Yikes! Is this real? ‘Things can happen’ is awful enough, but this??

Tough to pick this week’s Worst Cabinet Member. A lot of competition for that award.

In that case, can a pardon be far behind?

And so ironic that the key prosecutor in this case was Emil Bove.

The first of many subsequent (and previously unimaginable) horrible events. A shock and loss of innocence for us. I remember seeing cars pull off to the side of the street where I lived, when news broke.

He gets this week’s award for absolutely worst cabinet member. Last week it was Lee Zeldin.

But tragically autocracy in this country would be wrapped in the flag, with religious zeal added for good measure.

Not surprising.

Condolences on your loss.

In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson. About Berlin 1933 centered on U.S. ambassador and his family’s experience there. Eerily relevant.

Why can’t the Dems organize a daily news conf with a revolving cast of excellent speakers — there are plenty of rising stars! — to combat the daily disinformation and propaganda we’re otherwise subjected to? Response feels pretty scattershot to me right now.

I think of this often these days, actually.

This was a wonderful piece and an important part of a broader story. But I’m wondering if 60 Minutes will make the whole concert available online. Would love to see/hear it.

Wow. How long before we all start getting letters like this?

So brilliant and moving. You are a hero.
