Whoa whoa whoa, no opinions allowed here.
This is so absolutely delusional. We've got billions and billions for tax breaks for the wealthy and the military but average working class people retiring at 65 and collecting their social security is *impossible* ???
Ben is basically a libertarian and I can’t agree that retirement itself is stupid.
But he’s right that 65 is too young to get social security. We can’t afford it anymore.
Medicare though needs a different solution. Raising the retirement age won’t fix why it’s expensive.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

I mean I'm just tired. I vote blue no matter who for so many years and it's like, for what? The democrats do jack shit when they have power and they keep moving to the right to appease centrists and republicans in order to maintain status quo. I just don't think this system can handle this forever.

But again many of them were cool when every Black and Brown person got walked out of the building?
“Dismal,” “confused,” “demoralized,” “super fucked.” That, as one reporter tells Vanity Fair, is the mood inside CBS after editor Bari Weiss pulled a 60 Minutes segment that was critical of the Trump administration.
Bari Weiss’s 60 Minutes Stumble Follows Private Rejection From Megyn Kelly
Before she stoked outrage by spiking a ‘60 Minutes’ segment about a notorious El Salvador prison, Weiss spent weeks lobbying Megyn Kelly to participate in a debate on feminism with ‘Call Her Daddy’ host Alex Cooper, to no avail.

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

A lot of people in the replies seem to understand this point when talking about CECOT but not when talking about American prisons

1. New federal rules were released last week banning gender affirming care for youth at hospitals nationwide.
Those rules don't go into effect until public comment, months from now.
But it appears Sec. Kennedy is using an arcane process to try to implement them immediately.

HHS Sec. Kennedy Attempts To Stop Trans Youth Care In Hospitals Nationwide—Before New Federal Rules Take Effect
Like many of the Trump regime’s attempted powergrabs, this kind of piecemeal and disheveled rulemaking is enforced at least in part by fear and sheer uncertainty.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.
