"Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner were at the negotiating table today. No actual experts on Russia or Ukraine on our side of the table."
Why is the president's white nationalist immigration advisor involved in negotiating foreign policy?

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.

Nothing to see here, just a right wing hyper-nationalist government going to their party’s youth event sponsored by a group with a martyred leader they’ve pledged to avenge, recruiting people to join their masked police force devoted to removing auslanders from ze homeland.

Weiss’s suggestion to interview Stephen Miller is interesting in the context of this line from Alfonsi:

“We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department.”
Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

If you listen to Dodgers games on the radio or drive on CA freeways you’re constantly exposed to ads about child health services that are free for all kids under 5 in California. I had no idea that program started with Rob Reiner pushing for it, then doing the work.

I was talking about this to someone who said, "this guy did everything right!" Sure, people doing everything right are the easiest and least resource-intensive to grab.

And following the rules doesn't matter at all to these ghouls waging a campaign of ethnic cleansing.

After the Sydney Hanukkah massacre, I saw anguish, outrage, and the beginnings of a national reckoning: How could the Jewish community have been left so vulnerable? And how did a nation that prides itself on strict gun laws allow two men to be so heavily armed?

I know that a lot of the obvious reporters are/feel conflicted out. But NYT/WSJ/whatever should tap other people in.

RFK Jr would probably NOT have been confirmed were this in the public sphere. And now we have a measles epidemic brewing and his agencies are killing childhood vaccines.
