"So Trump’s plan to create manly jobs has, predictably, been a bust — a bust as complete in its way as his failure to reduce prices. The only difference is that in the case of jobs he actually tried to do something. But what he did was counterproductive."

Trying to imagine what it’d be like for an experienced 60 Minutes producer or reporter, who’d spent many weeks preparing a detailed investigation of a notorious El Salvador prison, to be getting input from Bari Weiss or one of acolytes, just hours before airtime.

Imagine a radiologist is using a cutting-edge AI tool to analyze your brain scan. The scan flags a problem in your "basilar ganglia." The problem is, there's no such thing.

Here's why I think we should be willing to have a progressive as the Democratic nominee: Donald Trump killed the Republican Party's center but he won two terms anyway despite being historically unpopular. Having President AOC is not that far fetched.

Remember, even if Trump preemptively pardons everyone, including himself, almost every crime was committed in a state jurisdiction. They can still be prosecuted.

I would be totally fine if Trump's name were redacted from EVERYTHING. Buildings, books, his likeness, his name, the human consciousness...all of it. Just him erased from all history for all time to come.

There are likely hundreds of “red herring” missing files that we will spend effort trying to get released only to have DOJ release them and say “see there, it was nothing”
The real fear is we give up pursuing the truth, weary of following to many misleading trails.
