Grandparents remember: having mumps, iron lungs, Sabin on Sunday sugar cubes. We were relieved when our own kids were vaccinated against the diseases that made us miserable & frightened our parents. We won’t let you forget. Just because ‘nobody gets this anymore’ doesn’t mean it can’t come back.

The president brazenly admitted why he’s trying to force so many states to redistrict: “Because if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just going to be—I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached.” trib.al/4aU0tKj

This Christmas the real Scrooges are corporations that raked in record profits this year and paid their CEOs millions of dollars but still deny workers a living wage and benefits.

Thing is, I probably wouldn’t have watched it if they had aired it on 60 minutes. I didn’t know about it, and I don’t regularly watch the show.
But now that they don’t want me to watch it…I sought it out.

Wall Street crooks, Big Oil liars, tech overlords, war profiteers, and political thugs commit massive crimes and never see a courtroom. The Trump regime incited insurrection and walks free. They buy their freedom, silence the law, and laugh while we pay. Justice isn’t blind, it’s bought.

It’s the year 2025 and Americans have to watch a bootlegged international version of a news program because it was censored here in our country to protect a criminal president.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

The segment seems to contradict Bari’s assertion that the Trump administration didn’t respond to request for comment. Per the report, 60 Minutes reached out to DHS who declined a request for an interview and referred all questions about CECOT to El Salvador.

Just want to add: Being convicted of a crime in the U.S. wouldn’t justify sending someone to a foreign gulag to be tortured, and arguably violates separation of powers since the “sentence” they are legally bound to serve is one issued by a judge, not Stephen Miller (i.e. the factoid is irrelevant)
Bari Weiss lied in her memo. She said segment didn't report administration's legal justification (it does in the very first sentence) and didn't say how many detainees had been charged with crimes as opposed to just those who were convicted (it does). www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: A prominent economist analyzed Trump's “pharmaceutical deal” and just EXPOSED it as a complete farce:
Jeff Cohen says there are no enforceable price reductions - meaning drug companies can walk away whenever they want. No price guarantees. More empty promises.

If you think switching which corporate owned legacy media outlet you consume is the solution, you don't really understand how deep the problem is. It's not just ABS, CBS, WaPo or the LA Times. It's the system in which they work.
The only solution is to support pro-democracy independent media.

Instead of going through the time and tedium of subpoenas, hearings, and due process, Congress should just do as the Pentagon does: acting on a vague hunch without any evidence, declare that Pam Bondi is a "narco-terrorist" and bust some doors down.
