Today I wrote about 60 Minutes' decision to obey in advance and why it represents the sad end to the storied franchise.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Earlier this year the people at 60 Minutes urged me to overcome fear and speak on camera about what it's like being a lawyer being targeted by Trump. When I did, they lavished me with praise -- noting I was the only person willing to do it.

Now it is their turn to show courage.

WOW. They're not going to air their special on CECOT. I'd like to know who made this decision, and whether the federal government had a hand in it.

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

Nobody should watch CBS until this airs. Which may be never after Trump threatened them again. He has the ownership and management he wanted who will now obviously do his bidding. Erika Kirk last week, now this. The MAGA News Network.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Mike Johnson was pissed that we pushed a petition through and are forcing a vote on extended ACA tax credits. He just can’t stop losing.

But right now we need your help. We need everyone to contact Congress and tell them to get it done:
