Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."

One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

Catering to this dizzy, narcissist loon is now a top job among the sane in DC. One aspect: there is a name for this class of warship. It is 'cruiser' and they are being phased out by the Navy, not-in, for good reasons.

This is what happens when the trump White House takes over the social media account for the DoJ. (Axios is reporting they have.) I hope this lands them in legal trouble.

This issue alone is going to cost them seats in places they don’t expect. They don’t understand the grass roots anger and hostility there is about this, and billionaire CEOs of Cantor Fitzgerald like Lutnick aren’t going to fool them with their con men sales pitches.

He said he would end the war in Ukraine on day one. He said he was going to put “America first.” He said he would be a peacemaker. What is true is that Trump has turned over American diplomacy to a billionaire Manhattan real estate mogul.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.

There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

The delayed/smothered/spiked 60 Minutes report is what you'd expect: a straightforward account of the brutality at CECOT told through the eyes of a migrant sent there who claims to have no criminal record. It ought to be a disgrace for the Trump administration. Let's see how Bari Weiss handles this.
