It's so sad to know how many mid-career+ journalists who have been laid off and/or burned out are going to leave the industry because of how bad everything has become, not return, and journalism will suffer from that level of experience, skills and perspective walking out the door forever.

I am sure the 60 Minutes report on CECOT was very well done, but what makes the decision to kill it even more damning is that CBS was hardly out on a limb on this story. It has been extremely well documented and reported by many journalists.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.
