Hours before 60 Minutes was set to air a story on deportees who were sent by the Trump administration to prison in El Salvador, describing “brutal and torturous conditions,” 60 Minutes announced that it has pulled the segment and will air it in the future.

I like Governor Newsom's initiative: Don't get mad and gnash your teeth and pull out your hair, do something about their insane policies. Cal. has the right idea, hopefully more states will follow.

Trump has just added this vindictive plaque below Obama’s White House portrait and it bears all the childish pettiness and chaotic capitalisation of his 4am Truth Social rants.

Trump is just regurgitating the same garbage that he does literally every day - just angrier, louder and in front of some Christmas decorations.

He's completely run out of ideas.

For 20 minutes, Americans watched Donald Trump address the nation, “drenched in pure panic as he tried to bully an entire nation into admitting he’s doing a great job,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

Reporter: This morning was complete chaos. Everyone that I spoke to was trying to figure out how this happened, how Susie Wiles put this information out there, on the record. But the thing that almost all Trump advisers agreed on was that all the quotes sounded like something Susie Wiles would say

Chris Whipple: It's on tape, as is every assertion that Susie made. I talked to JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, all of it taped, all of it on the record. And the giveaway is that they haven't been able to challenge a single fact.

At the core of Miller’s worldview is the idea that the immigration levels and humanitarian resettlement programs that existed under Biden posed an existential threat to American civilization, whereas those that now exist under Trump will preserve it from ruin. trib.al/iztpRbp
Inside Stephen Miller’s Dark Plot to Build a MAGA Terror State
He is descended from Russian Jews—you know, the kind of people who were once denounced as alien and unassimilable. Today, his project is to unleash government persecution of those he deems alien and unassimilable. How far will Miller’s sadistic designs go?

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?

TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

We should relish this moment. For a few hours. Because we should realize that these results are going to make the Trump administration even more aggressive about tilting the 2026 playing field, and we need to be ready for that.
