it must have felt so good to be the digital media manager when the word came down to unschedule the piece from the 60 minutes feed but no one said anything about unscheduling it from the international website

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes.
Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

To be clear, the 60 Minutes report does NOT appear to have leaked.
My best guess is that Bari Weiss didn’t realize there were international platforms that already got the finished show.
And so she didn’t do anything about it.

If habeas is unable to free an obvious US citizen within a week then we need to revisit the statutory provisions abutting the writ; these cases must be expedited.

There are always poor people, and I am a big advocate for a stronger social safety net. But if we can't praise policies that were shrinking inequality, and managed to pull us out of inflation without raising unemployment, then what are we doing? What is the point of politics?

There's an interview with BRMC where they talk about telling the dept of homeland security to go fuck themselves when they used their song, and it's pretty interesting that this rock band quickly learned something that the entire opposition party can't seem to figure out

"The president doesn't know [about Musk dismantling lifesaving USAID programs] and never will," she told me. "He doesn't know the details of these smallish agencies."
This is horrible. Trump and his crew shut down USAID, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and they had no idea what they were doing or what would be the consequences. Completely immoral.

In Trump 1, there really were people who tried to rein in his criminal madness to varying degrees of success.
No one does that now and you have people like Miller & Vought expanding on the madness and performing additional crimes.

100%. Costa Rica has agreed to take him and he has agreed to go. They keep lying to the judge and saying Costa Rica won’t take him because they want to send him somewhere he will be tortured.
Guys it’s not just that they want to remove Abrego Garcia from this country. They could probably remove him to Costa Rica.
They want to deport him to somewhere that will kill and/or torture him. That’s the issue.

It genuinely does feel like this administration thinks its entire legitimacy rests on the ability to torture and punish this one man.
