Not only is Bari a truly malignant force wrecking CBS News in a matter of days; she is also comically inept. This crass act of censorship has given the CECOT program far more publicity than CBS just running the segment would have achieved. She is a straight up clown.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

WP claims that Russia is telling the U.S. to take frozen Russian assets from the EU and hand them back to Moscow in exchange for a “share,” arguing the White House should help Russia reclaim the funds. They assert that if the EU doesn’t return the assets, the U.S. will do it instead.

This is the same grievance-driven, us-vs-them rhetoric historians associate with fascist movements: claiming the nation was exploited by outsiders, blaming migrants, and promising redemption through military power and “destiny.” Different era, same playbook.
