"it's almost like Trump is acting like an intermediary, trying to express Putin's wishes to Zelenskyy and to the world, which is what he did after the Alaska summit," @radiofreetom.bsky.social said. "It's what he does every time he gets off the phone with Putin."

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.
Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

What is fair about deporting people to CECOT? No “both sides” to that. Plus, the trump administration chose not to respond.
“On a slow news week,” she says—the week the Justice Department also dropped the Epstein files—to dismiss anyone who had a problem with her decision to “both sides” a gulag
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

The trump administration is obviously trying to take a wrecking ball to American culture and history. MAGA needs to be crushed into an embarrassing footnote.
I cannot emphasize enough that the White House has no authority to withhold funds from the Smithsonian. It can, however, try to persuade/threaten Congress to reduce future funding.
“American people will have no patience” for any museum that is “uncomfortable conveying a positive view of American history,” Trump aides wrote.
"It was not immediately clear how much money the White House might try to withhold, from which parts of the Smithsonian or on what authority."
