The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.

It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

COLORADO — Trump rejects a federal disaster relief request, because the state is run by Democrats.

Sen. Bennet: “Trump continues to use Coloradans for political games; it is malicious and obscene.” www.denver7.com/news/local-n...

If it’s going to air later with just some extra interviews why is it necessary to take down all the promos? (rhetorical question)
It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now.

It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

The ACLU's Lee Gelernt has been at the front lines of immigration horrors for longer than most anyone. Here he's giving a map not only of what it means to fly hundreds of Venezuelans to a lawless prison, but more pointedly what it means to defy judicial commands. swap.fm/l/AmicusWith...

By 1:30pm today, Democracy Docket had already published that the DOJ files release was incomplete and violated federal law.

Why did it take so many legacy media outlets until this evening to come to the same conclusion?
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice will fail to publicly release all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by a Friday deadline, violating a new federal law explicitly mandating that the trove of documents be turned over for public scrutiny. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Statement from Maria Farmer: “This is amazing. Thank you for believing me. I feel redeemed. This is one of the best days of my life. Of course, it's mixed with the fact that I'm devastated about all the other little girls like Virginia who were harmed because the FBI didn't do their job. 1/
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

apparently the shooter may have shot himself in the storage facility after killing the MIT professor. im glad they eventually figured out his identity, but i can't help but feel that if the FBI was better at their job, they could have prevented the murder of this professor. there was a 2 day period

Rick Grennel achieved a dream today by denying a Black woman her vote.
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Urgent update.

Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.

Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

What a world to go to bed thinking about one mass shooting and wake up to news of another, a targeted hate crime, at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. And also in the video where an actual hero, Ahmed al Ahmed chooses not to kill one of the terrorists.
