Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

The thing that gets me here is: even if there WAS something missing from the story, Bari doesn’t have the qualifications, the experience, or the earned respect to make that call. This is why newsrooms need leaders who have edited news stories!

CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I’m told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year…

A quick thread on Republicans packing state supreme courts in the past 10 years. They hate voters and democracy. 🧵
👀 Utah Republicans are threatening to expand the size of their state supreme court from 5 to 7 so they can get a favorable outcome in their redistricting appeal in time for 2026.
