Hate to say it, but you should no longer trust anything from CBS News. I'm sure there are great reporters there trying to do honest work, but how can we know anymore? If they're willing to kill a Trump-critical 60 Minutes segment at the order of Bari Weiss, it's been over.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.
See for yourself.

Soon everything will include his name, right, so why not those files? He's undoubtedly in the files more often than he's ever been in any center for performing arts.

Seriously, why tf is he getting free airtime? He even interrupted Survivor just to yell and spit lies.
So every time Trump claims he has a major primetime announcement the networks will give him free live airtime to give a MAGA rally speech?

I keep hearing about how Dems are the party of "identity politics" and yet it's Republicans who always reach to identity for everything.
God forbid we talk about guns. There have been 452 mass shootings this year; this shooting doesn't even make the list because fewer than 4 people were shot.

There's no longer even the pretense of hiding his abuse of power. The nation was warned he would do this over two years ago. His grip on the minds of his cultists is firm. Mola Ram got nothin' on Mango Mussolini.
