The Ellisons want Trump’s support for their hostile takeover of Warner Bros.
But Trump has been unhappy with recent episodes of 60 Minutes — hence the CECOT segment removal.
Business leaders and the press surrendering to Trump is a danger to us all.
A tyrant can't be appeased.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.
Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

Judge Currie rejects AG Bondi's attempt to bless the indictments after the fact:
"It would mean the Govt could send any private citizen off the street — attorney or not — into the grand jury room to secure an indictment so long as the AG gives her approval after the fact. That cannot be the law."

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
NYT isn’t worth reading because they are in the bag for Trump

In case you missed it: my follow-up video op-ed responding to ongoing conversations surrounding the COP30 climate conference and seemingly widespread misconception regarding how harmful 2-3°C of global warming would actually be for human societies, economies, and global ecosystems.
I recorded a short video op-ed to help cut through the noise surrounding the ongoing COP30 climate conference. In short: now is not the time to scale back our efforts to address climate change--quite the opposite, as the intensifying consequences have never been clearer.
