"Of the 346 donors identified by the Times, at least 197 have benefited, or are in industries that have benefited, from policies or actions of Mr. Trump or his administration." 
 
This is corruption in plain sight.

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass
Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.

Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?
Kavanaugh in a footnote in today's opinion says "the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity."

Political and corporate spokespeople now regularly treat a request for comment from the mainstream media as an opportunity to drop a free ad into the middle of the story. Bad faith non-responses should just be discarded, with a note that they declined to respond to the substance of the question.
WH spokesperson Abigail Jackson said "60 Minutes should spend their time and energy amplifying the stories of Angel Parents, whose innocent American children have tragically been murdered by vicious illegal aliens that President Trump are removing from the country."

The Social Security Administration aims to cut visits to field offices by nearly 15 million annually.

This is making it harder for Americans to access in-person services—and their benefits.

This is not "modernizing" Social Security.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to Americans cheated by big banks and giant corporations.

So naturally, Trump and Republicans are trying to shut it down.

Trump sided with companies scamming hardworking Americans. I won’t stop fighting back.

Man, this is a real shocker, but it almost seems like she doesn't remotely know what the fuck she's doing and has no right being in this important role?
NYT shows how Bari Weiss really screwed this up.

She didn't attend any of the 5 screenings of the story, which began on Dec. 12.

She only first weighed in on Thursday, and the show incorporated her suggestions.

She then waited until weekend to ask for more edits.

* 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.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

See for yourself.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

“And Weiss is apparently doing this all for – sources in and close to the Trump administration tell Zeteo – people who don’t even like her, or who think she’s merely a “useful idiot” embedded in the legacy media that the president loves to trash.”

Let’s be clear: using AI to secretly raise grocery prices on some shoppers is unethical. Food isn’t a luxury, and families shouldn’t be treated like test subjects for profit-maximizing algorithms.

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.

It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

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.

This is the funniest and most embarrassing possible outcome for Bari. People are going to get to see a totally normal news piece that clearly isn't biased against Trump and think, "She was afraid that THIS would upset the administration??"

In 2022, Bari Weiss ran this viral first-person piece by a top Levi’s executive. She claimed she was hounded out of the company because of her vocal stance on COVID restrictions.

There are no quotes from the company. Or her colleagues.

Not even a “no comment.”

Why would you need to put a pause on a story that has been meticulously fact-checked and lawyered?

Sounds like the kind of story you’d want to run right away!
