Donald Trump targets his political enemies in order to keep power. In 2026, that won't just mean going after people like James Comey and Tish James. It will require him to target voters who he needs to disenfranchise to keep control of Congress. The fight for democracy is more urgent than ever.

Not a miracle. Partly the playout of the DOJ consent decree that reformed the police force. Also treating illicit drug use as a medical rather than an LE issue. Hard work went into that turnaround.
Still a few days to go, but as of right now the Baltimore homicide page shows 133 homicides for the year.
It was consistently around 330/year until four years ago, when it started its steep decline. It is now well under HALF of what it was.
This is a miracle.

"Every journalist at CBS News now knows that if you spend months working on a segment that makes the Trump administration look bad, it might get killed at the last second by someone who’s never worked in TV news & who reports directly to a billionaire with business before the administration."
Adversarial journalism depends on the premise that reporters can publish true, well-sourced information even when the subjects of stories would prefer they didn’t. Weiss has abandoned that premise.

5. These people are all incredibly stupid but also venal but also certain they can get away with it. Maybe they can, but it’s game over for Trump with this latest Epstein dump and the ever shittier polls, so the timing of these nincompoops is exquisitely boneheaded.

4. Nepo Baby was about to announce the back stopping of the Warner deal by his rich daddy and did not want any more trouble with Trump complaining about 60 Minutes, so this seemed like a good idea. Now he will have to increase the price by a lot to get it. What a dope.

Pompous and arrogant is no way to run a network
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.
Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.
