NEW: Jan Crawford's attack on SCOTUS "corruption" narrative was its own substance-free narrative.
On Face the Nation, CBS News's chief legal correspondent went after Supreme Court critics as "dangerous." And yet, her court defense was completely lacking in specifics.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

The White House doesn't care because they know you and your colleagues won't do shit. They know that no matter how many laws they break, Senate Democrats will still confirm Trump judges and political appointees, while advancing the administration's nearly trillion-dollar defense budget.
Missing the deadline = breaking the law.
Deputy AG Blanche just said the Trump DOJ will miss the Epstein files deadline.
He says "several hundred thousand" docs will be released today, "and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more."
All files are required by law to be released today.

It's a risk, but a prediction: The White House ballroom will never be built.
Every red flag for a bunk project is waving. Yes, it's symbolic.
It's why Trump is grasping at cheap ploys like renaming the Kennedy Center. He can't build stuff, just steal.

No, Venezuela Is Not a ‘Small Latin American Country’
