Immigrants are not the reason there’s a housing crisis.
They’re not the reason ERs are full and people don’t have healthcare.
They’re not the reason food is so expensive.
They’re the scapegoat.
As long as you blame immigrants, you won’t realize the 1% are taking everything.

Entirely possible that Trump just blurted out classified information in his Yuletide ramblings 🤦♂️
NYT confirms some sort of action: “American officials said that Trump was referring to a drug facility in Venezuela and that it was eliminated, but provided no details. Military officials said they had no information to share, and the CIA declined to comment. The White House declined to comment.”

Looking forward to a breakdown of the Loveland-Swift lateral play. Did not seem to create an advantage for Swift there -- took him right into 3 defenders with no blocking. Just good defense or a problem in execution?

"Every journalist at CBS News now knows that if you spend months working on a segment that makes the Trump administration look bad, it might get killed at the last second by someone who’s never worked in TV news & who reports directly to a billionaire with business before the administration."
Adversarial journalism depends on the premise that reporters can publish true, well-sourced information even when the subjects of stories would prefer they didn’t. Weiss has abandoned that premise.

It amazes me that there are still people out there who think we can stop political criminals by being nice and meeting them halfway. As if we should let them take half of their bribes and erase half of our history. As if we should let them blow up half as many boats and murder half as many people.

Voted present on impeachment.
This isn’t complicated. The Epstein Transparency Act is the law.
You can’t have selective transparency. The DOJ is openly breaking the law, and they will be held accountable. No agency is above the law, and this failure will not go unanswered.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.
