Semi-retired lawyer -- had the “Western Civilization” education that right wingers want for all, but read the books. Very worried about how our institutions are failing us, one by one.
We should feel deep shame that our government subjected these migrants (only 3% with a criminal conviction) to these conditions.

We should also be ashamed that an oligarch (Ellison) could buy CBS so he and his flunky (Weiss) could try to block this story.

WATCH: The 60 Minutes CECOT Segment
The full segment aired on the GlobalTV app in Canada. Someone sent me a link to a recorded version. Let's see if we can figure out whether Bari Weiss' decision to spike it was editorial or political.

Just a reminder that Trump has, on camera, bragged about walking in on Miss Teen USA contestants changing and explained his 17-year-old daughter asked him not to “date” girls younger than her.

I’m not sure what’s true in the Epstein Files, but when you recall those facts it all seems plausible

Protection: “ Nice country you’ve got there …”
Greenland Envoy Gov. Jeff Landry: "Look, the United States has always been a welcoming party. We don't go in there trying to conquer anybody and trying to take over anybody's country. We say, 'Listen. We represent liberty. We represented economic strength. We represent protection.'"

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.

That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The Tiffany Network becomes the Dollar General Network.

It’s been declining for many years. But this is still very sad.

Sorry Walter.

Nobody wants white people to apologize for being white.
JD Vance should personally apologize for lying about immigrants to fuel race-based hate, for having no deeper values beyond a commitment to JD Vance and his career.

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

So, hear me out.

Congress could make a deal with Trump that they will add his name to the Kennedy Center after the same sort of event that preceded adding JFK’s name to the Center.

Seems fair, right?

An excellent summary of why the unitary executive theory is historically wrong, illogical and — today, with this president — deeply dangerous.

A recited list of Trump lies about “his health care plan” — often promised shortly, never revealed.
