CBS News postponed a "60 Minutes" segment Sunday because it lacked a Trump admin interview, per an email we obtained from correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who said the decision by EIC Bari Weiss gave the White House a "kill switch." with @liamjscott.bsky.social

‘60 Minutes’ correspondent says CBS’s Bari Weiss abruptly pulled segment on Trump deportations
CBS News pulled a ‘60 Minutes’ segment about a prison in El Salvador one day before it was set to air because the Trump administration declined to participate.

Bari only pulled this program after the promos started airing, which means she probably got a phone call. So she's not just bad at her ostensible job of running CBS news, but she's also bad at her *actual* job of running interference for the Trump admin
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 sees Putin as a man worth over $200 billion and he doesn't care what he has to do to get his 200 billion. That sums up Trump.

By gutting the FEC and leaving it unable to enforce campaign finance laws, Trump is giving other corrupt politicians the green light to break campaign finance laws as we head into the midterms.
The Federal Election Commission is down to 2 members. So its work is at a standstill
The Federal Election Commission, which regulates campaign finance, has lost another member. But the FEC has actually been without a quorum for months, leaving the agency unable to do much of its work.

Supreme Court rejects Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal—her 20-year sentence for sex trafficking underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein stands. Victims' families express gratitude as justice is upheld. No explanation needed from SCOTUS. Hungry Justice gets a bone, but where's the beef? #MaxwellCase #Epstein

Supreme Court keeps Fed Governor Lisa Cook in her seat—Trump's emergency bid to fire her denied. Oral arguments set for January. Even the conservative court couldn't find 5 votes to immediately remove her. She continues voting on interest rates for now. #SCOTUS #FederalReserve #LisaCookSupreme

Cash Patel promised Epstein files. Jim Jordan killed bank subpoenas ($1.5B suspicious transactions). Mike Johnson blocking new congresswoman to delay the vote. Republicans campaigned on transparency, now they're covering it up. What are they hiding? #EpsteinFiles #ReleaseTheFiles #FollowTheMoney

Narcissism's greatest hits: Ted Bundy, a law school dropout (2 semesters), representing himself in murder trials. Pete Hegseth, a Major, lecturing 800 generals and admirals. Both audaciously took center stage where their credentials couldn't cash the checks their egos wrote.

The narcissist's playbook: Bundy had 2 semesters of law school and played attorney in capital trials. Hegseth reached Major and now scolds four-star generals. When your self-perception vastly exceeds your qualifications, you get these jaw-dropping moments of unearned authority.

Law school dropout lectures courts. Former Major lectures generals. Narcissism is the belief that charisma and confidence can substitute for competence and credentials. Bundy and Hegseth both proved you can take the stage - but that doesn't mean you've earned it.

Trump fundraising emails attacking Comey as "worst human being" may prove vindictive prosecution & warrant contempt. Key flaws: McCabe authorized leak himself, witness Richmond wasn't FBI employee when needed, prosecutor Halligan may have hidden evidence from grand jury. Case expected to fail.

Federal judge grants rare evidentiary hearing on vindictive prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Deputy AG Blanch's Fox interview admitting case began after judge questioned illegal deportation was key evidence. Could impact other Trump DOJ cases like Comey's.

How can anyone disagree? This could be said by anyone, no matter how illegitimate or immoral the source, and you still can't disagree with the statement.

I wanted to write a folk-rock song about my hometown (Acton, MA).
It may be the first song about Acton’s storied history—not sure.
This one is long, and structured like a suite (three movements).
