Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who is disgusted by Bari Weiss killing a 60 Minutes exposé on trump's cruel deportation policy where deportees are tortured in CECOT. This is political censorship.

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."

The president was accused of multiple rapes of 14 year old girls as well as multiple murders of their babies and we’re all just acting like it doesn’t matter because CBS and CNN haven’t weighed in yet.

Isn't it great how people who thought by not voting for Kamala Harris they were either "saving Gaza or "restoring prices to 2019" and instead wrecked the U.S.'s relationship with Canada and seemingly has resulted in Denmark possibly needing to call for NATO to defend Greenland from Trump's U.S.? :-/

Calling Congress only takes two minutes.
It's important because your call is counted.
Even if you don't think your Republican congressperson cares, call them.
Even through you don't think your Democratic Rep needs to hear from you about #ICELawlessness, call & demand action.

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

Guess what? In Canada we saw the entire 60 Minutes Inside Cecot episode. It’s was disturbing and disgusting but typical of this Administration. But my question is? Why were we able to watch this as usual and America was not? That’s a bigger problem. 🤷♀️

Looking through the Epstein files on the DOJ website, it is extremely clear that when DOJ admitted that it redacted information related to political figures and government officials that they meant MAGA Republicans. Names of Democrats and even anti-Trump Republicans are left in.

President🇺🇸 Clinton’s office is demanding the DOJ release all photos of him from the Epstein files along with any documents that mention him. 👇
Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton.
“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”
