CBS is now state-controlled media. Wow.
Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

If I were the 60 Minutes team, I’d quit and go to YouTube.

CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I’m told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year…

Trump has begun lifting American sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military. The Russians have finally offered enough money to the Trump family and Trump is 100% on Russia's side now.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

WOW: Fox News reports that the DOJ used the same redaction standards for “politically exposed individuals and government officials” as it did for victims.

Of course Pam Bondi and Trump's DOJ is playing the Redaction Game. Each tiny redaction will be fought over up to the Supreme Court.
Guess its easier to assume that each redaction is about Donald Trump.

Nuclear fusion is not a thing (yet).
And that merger with DJT is just a spectacle. DJT is basically acting as an SPV. TAE can finance through the stock market and DJT props up its stock price, because they don't have anything substantive that would value them above a penny stock.

Trump’s Truth Social company — which lost around $400 million last year — is doing a $6 billion merger.

If Trump announces a new and illegal regime change war against Venezuela tonight pay attention to which elected Democrats stay silent and don’t vociferously oppose and condemn him for it - and then make sure those Dems are subjected to primary challenges next year.

It is actually unusual for Putin to use directly offensive terms. He must be really frustrated with how things are developing.
Putin just made a speech in Moscow where he referred to EU leaders as “piglets”.
So much to Russia’s “interest in peace”.

I doubt that fascist Russia will accept a proposal that gives Ukraine guarantees similar to those set out in Article 5. If so, Russia might treat it as a bluff and certainly test it. Perhaps that is already a given for European countries.
Nevertheless, the onus would be on Russia.

Based on what?
Because of this nonsense to put data centers into space? Or is it Super Heavy Rocket that is so fragile that I would not even put my worst enemy on it? Or is it their "normal" rockets that compete with Blue Origin and other companies?
These valuations are absurd.

The kickbacks with Russian blood money are more important to Trump's regime and friends than Ukraine's sovereignty and dignity.
I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.
