Clinton says he needs no protection and called for the full release of anything pertaining to him in the Epstein files.

Since Trump also declared that there is nothing incriminating him in the Epstein files, he should do the same as Clinton.

Why is Trump fighting the release of the Epstein files?

you have to imagine that this probably also happens when there doesn't happen to be a Herald reporter randomly sitting there to see it happen
"A Miami Herald reporter witnessed the agents forcefully removing Dayana — who is 4-feet, 11-inches tall and weighs 85 pounds — from her white Toyota Corolla. The footage shows Dayana yelling at the reporter to help her and that she was a United States citizen"

Slashes to the federal workforce and scientific funding have reached many corners of climate science’s myriad specialties, from extreme heat forecasters to right whale researchers — and could change America’s standing as a leader in the field.

Matt Taibbi wants "in excess of a million dollars" from @eoinhiggins.bsky.social for writing a book he probably didn't read and certainly didn't understand. Being that Taibbi's recent hobby has been filing and celebrating SLAPP suits, this isn't unexpected, nor is the childishness of the complaint.

Pompous and arrogant is no way to run a network
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."

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

If your first reaction to someone having their legs run over by an ICE vehicle is “was he here illegally” then you’ve completely lost your moral compass

The same goes for asking what the “whole story” is

There’s nothing a person could do to justify running them over with a car.
