A woman who leads something called “The Free Press” and who got the made-up job title CBS “Editor-in-Chief” openly says journalism is when you only run stories if your subject responds to you:
On a call just now, Bari Weiss tells staff she held the CECOT story because it wasn’t ready & to advance a months-old story, they need "the principals" on record.

Yesterday, CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi warned if they can only do stories when government responds, it “gains control” over 60 Minutes.

ICE supervisor thrown in own jail for choking girlfriend and lying to court.

Apparently ICE can only choke people and lie while on the job.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

On Reddit, a post shows the ways in which 287(g) agreements, combined with ICE's mass deportation efforts are making a total hash of the the basic functioning of a fair system — a man in Florida was pulled over for a traffic stop on his way to an asylum interview and is now detained in Colorado!

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

Look, I think it’s folly to monitor NYT coverage at this point but it just has to be said that the NYT covered those damn university president hearings BREATHLESSLY but the Epstein emails???? Crumbs. Even though I’m used to them being bootlickers, it’s still appalling to see.

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.

They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.

They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

Here are the names of the billionaires who burned $53,792,403 in donations to super PACS trying to stop Zohran Mamdani. All because they didn’t want the working class to have a city they can afford.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

It’s disgraceful that the administration chose to go to court instead of fulfilling its responsibility to the American people.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Nothing says “Democratic Leader” quite like “I will not tell you who I voted for in a general election.”
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."
