Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.

Damn, Bill Clinton just called Trump & Pam Bondi's bluff. Clinton released a statement calling on Bondi to release all of the Epstein files that mention him - including photos.
This is what a president with a spine looks like.
Meanwhile, Trump is having the FBI scrub his name from the files.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.
Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.
Unbelievable.
