CBS News staffers are warning that Bari Weiss is sparking a "revolt" at 60 Minutes and the network after she spiked a story on CECOT.

Hi, Bruce! Senator Russell Long played an outsized role, which is also ironic since his own father once ran on UBI.

It's ironic that Nixon once proposed a universal basic income, but it was killed by congressional liberals who didn't think it was liberal enough. open.substack.com/pub/brucebar...
