I truly don't believe in hell but sometimes I wish I did.

Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

"Weiss and Ellison’s interference into “60 Minutes” creates a de facto state media, but their burgeoning empire is about consolidating oligarchical control over legacy media that will endure long after Trump fades into irrelevance," writes @ahjohnson.bsky.social. theintercept.com/2025/12/22/b...
Bari Weiss Is Doing Exactly What She Was Installed at CBS to Do
Cutting one “60 Minutes” segment is a small price to be paid to keep Trump happy and shape the future of American media.

Step 1: Manhattan.
Step 2: Everywhere else.
Step 2: Everywhere else.
Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

Every policy has winners and losers. The goal of good policy is to maximize the winners while minimizing the losers. Congestion pricing does this remarkably well a) given the stats on who drives into Manhattan and b) how it offers remedies such as tax credits to low-income drivers.
It sounds like a very good thing but wouldn't the analysis be more fair if inconvenience and cost to some was included? Don't know how you measure it but it should definitely be included. Virtually nothing is 100% win-win.

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.
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.

Some folks seem to think that criticizing Democratic politicians is off-limits because the GOP is "worse." I expect nothing from the GOP; they are obviously a part of racists and Nazis. I DO expect something from the political party purporting to represent the "resistance."
