The banned 60 Minutes episode about the CECOT torture prison used by the Trump admin is now exploding across the internet. Be sure to watch so you can see the excellent reporting done by Sharyn Alfonsi & her team at 60 Minutes:

Trump is doing generational damage to our institutions and democracy. Going to take a long time just to recover from all the damage he is causing. If we can.
The world's leader in science is dismantling itself. For nothing.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Jesse Jackson Jr. is running again for Congress. He was convicted of stealing $750,000 in campaign $$ for personal use, buying gold-plated Rolexes & Michael Jackson's hat.
He says he's a new man, but Facebook posts show him justifying his actions & hinting at a pardon.

prospect.org/2025/12/11/c...
![But his Facebook posts since he was convicted reveal a man who consistently downplays and justifies his crimes, showing a lack of remorse and reflection.
In 2018, Jackson weighed in on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) struggles to afford an apartment in D.C., writing on Facebook: “This is what happens. Then when you have kids and they need to attend decent schools in DC and you want to have a life while serving, guess what? You start calling everything you do a campaign expense.”
Jackson went on to justify his spending of campaign contributions: “A life long vow of poverty, I did not take for me or my family. [W]hen you truly represent people you have a lot of personal standards that you have to maintain and they are expensive.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nztbvvo2gl4227zuxjf7gog3/bafkreibb4owe7okfupami52pabja4zaoco2sejwf3n37w27qsdzjhpqfra@jpeg)

Embarrassing to be a lawyer today. Law is a mirage with this Supreme Court.
Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.
Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

I was a grand jury member in Chicago recently and filing gun felony charges is most of what the day to day work is there. Letting them skip that oversight spits in the face of justice and makes the whole system a farce.

They misidentified the intern. The judge told them they had misidentified the intern. But instead of double checking, they took that as an affront to their authority. So they surrounded the judge's car and threatened to smash the windows to get to the intern.

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone
