Not to be too conspiratorial, but this story would undoubtedly portray the Trump admin in a bad light (they sent innocent people to be tortured through a process the Supreme Court unanimously held lacked due process) and now CBS isn't airing it on time.

It all matters, yes, but this matters more than Susie Wiles, matters more, even, than the travel ban; more than all of Trump’s wars actual & looming (Venezuela, Ukraine, Somalia, Gaza) combined. It’s like the Cuban Missile Crisis, only U.S. is aiming it missiles at everyone, starting with itself.

My nick name Chuckles is Chuck the putz

In Yiddish, putz (or putts) primarily means a fool, dummy, or jerk, someone inept, silly, or annoying.

Again, politics = $ & power.
To discuss this, I recommend 2 quests
1) David Sirota from The Lever. U must listen to their Master Plan podcast. Best hx of how $ and power worked to take over the US since the 1970s

25 years ago today, five GOP justices who claimed fealty to states’ rights, and who were skeptical of a broad equal protection clause, told Florida it could not finish counting ballots despite the Florida SCT ruling to the contrary b/c of an equal protection principle never used before or since.

In my past life as a home care PT I ran into a retired member of the Fed Reserve Board who did not realize what the top marginal tax rates were in the mythical 1950s...>90%.

So, literally no one knows why we had more of a middle class back then.

Donald Trump continues to find shockingly unqualified and disgusting people to pardon. His latest, Cade Cothren, is a prime example. We can’t let these shameful and corrupt pardons fly under the radar—please share. youtube.com/shorts/WoZIt...

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics.

Yes politics is about $ & power...keep pounding that point.

Please don't forget not only is it corporate interests but also the old school US oligarchs. Unfortunately, this group has been topped in venality by the new Silicon Valley tech bros.

The Trump White House is no bargaining partner. They are gleefully anticipating a shutdown, because they view it as license for an “inherent Article II powers” free-for-all, possibly sparing only mandatory spending (maybe!) from his direct control, either to eliminate or fund at his discretion.
Hassett: "If money is not appropriated for a position, they then have the authority to eliminate the position. It's very intuitive. And that's an enormous amount of leverage over the Democrats ... if they shut it down, then they might not like the consequences."
