So this is what happened to the "60 Minutes" story on CECOT that we tuned in to watch and didn't see last night?
This would all be bad and annoying feedback to get earlier in the process even if she had any business intervening then, which she doesn't. But to yank as big a project as a 60 Minutes story on this basis hours before it was set to air is outright psychotic behavior.
The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

Blue Collar Review accepted my "Last Vacant Lot in Anaheim" poem, but of course we'll just have to wait and see if/when it's actually published.

Actually this map of where abortion remains completely legal is heartening: 29 states, + the 18-wk. limit in Utah isn't as bad as it could be. Neb. & NC, w/ 12-wk. limit aren't as nutty as could be either. That leaves 18 cuckoo states, mostly the old CSA:

Something strange here? Khashoggi's widow? He went to the Saudi embassy to get divorce papers while the woman he wanted to marry waited for him for hours. Is the "widow" the woman he was divorcing, or the woman who he wanted to marry but never did?
Jamal Khashoggi's widow, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi: "I'm seeking the help of Congressmen Vindman and Jamie Raskin, to get the transcript of the conversation between President Trump and Crown Prince MBS to understand the truth."
