Take a moment to watch and understand what the Trump administration and Bari Weiss would rather keep out of view.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

It looks as though the🔥Heat Miser🔥has taken over the latest outlook for Christmas week (Dec 23-29)! There is a high probability of warmer-than-normal temperatures for most of the US. Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and New England have a better chance of seeing "classic" Christmas weather.

60 MINUTES CORRESPONDENT: “Our story was screened 5x and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.” #CBSNewsMAX #BariWeiss

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

Sharyn Alfonsi is an award-winning journalist who has worked for 60 Minutes for 20 years. Before that she reported for ABC, CBS & local news outlets. If Alfonsi says her story was spiked by Bari Weiss political reasons, that’s exactly what happened. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Sad death of CBS News as actual journalism

And a reminder that CECOT is a human rights travesty, and everyone up and down the Trump admin involved in illegally sending people there belong in The Hague.

Bari Weiss spikes a much-anticipated segment on CECOT because she thinks Trump won't like it. That apparently is the ultimate test.

This 60 Minutes fan page indicates the spiked segment was going to feature interviews with former CECOT detainees recounting "abuse." It said this "reflects 60 Minutes’ long-standing approach to accountability journalism."

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.
