Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me.
Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

Is Erika Kirk better for CBS ratings than a 60 Minutes investigation into the torture of deported immigrants in a U.S. government-funded prison?
If not, why would CBS business executives tolerate Bari Weiss’s editorial decisions any further?

Don’t forget. Biden’s DoJ was investigating uncharged third parties in the Epstein files up until the last minute. Trump shut down the investigation, sent the files to DC, & fired the prosecutors. They went through them, redacted Trump’s name, then elected not to release them and closed the matter.

Occam's razor.
DOJ hasn't released key documents, including the original 60-count draft indictment of Epstein and the victim statements.
Why?
DOJ really doesn't want us to read them.
Why does DOJ care so much about these?
Because they directly or indirectly implicate Trump.

Thinking today about this sentence:
"Every $100 increase in median rent is associated with a 9 percent increase in the estimated homelessness rate, according to a 2020 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office."

Inflation is making homelessness worse
Rising housing costs, combined with persistent inflation for basic necessities like gas and food, have left more Americans newly homeless and millions more fearing they’ll soon lose their homes.

FACT CHECK American companies never owned oil or land in Venezuela, and officials didn’t kick them out. Venezuela, following Mexico, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, nationalized its most lucrative sector in 1976 and developed mutually beneficial partnerships with American and other firms

Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. Here’s the history.
The government of the oil-rich nation took control of its petroleum industry in 1976, nationalizing hundreds of private businesses and foreign-owned assets.

The DOJ said it removed a Trump photo “because of the women.”
Kristen Welker asked the obvious follow-up: were those women victims?
Blanche couldn’t answer.
Because the explanation wasn’t true.
That’s what a lie looks like when it meets a real question. Protecting pedophiles is evil.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).
