It is important to support Sharyn Alfonsi and past time for more journalists to speak up against this administration. It is clear the Project 2025 group want complete control of each and every one of us.

Kennedy Center awards are on cbs tomorrow night. Alternatively, send the algorithms a message: watch the movie PT 109, or JFK’s speeches-plenty of them on YouTube.

Re: "60 Minutes" and the pulled CECOT feature...so, the WH initially declined to provide ANY statement(s) when contacted by CBS News staff, but that was an "oversight" by CBS? And to add insult to injury, Weiss wants to give Stephen "Himmler" Miller another shot at a rebuttal, no doubt whilst providing "guidance" on how to deal with the latter — no pushback on anything he says.

"Fair and Balanced", the new creed at CBS News.

P.S. The reporter responsible for the story, Sharyn Alfonisi, hit out with a very strong note to colleagues, deriding the "spiking" of the segment, and really leveled on management for apparently acceding to the WH position of "no comment" as grounds to kill the story. Ms Alfonsi rightfully asserted that a refusal to comment is effectively a veto of any story to run, according to the Weiss decision, and it's no way to oversee CBS News' mission. Read it here:

Amen, and David's TPM weekend writeup of the Obrega case is really worth reading...it is striking the huge amount of energy that DOJ and DHS are putting into the attempts to deport the man, to the extent that they've absolutely blown up credibility within the courts, and that any federal judge hearing this case is drawn to questioning the bonafides of those representing the govt., as well as their own testimony, before a case even comes close to reaching a trial stage...if indeed any ever will.

Can you stop sending people to the Washington Post to find out more about whatever story you mention, David? Most of your readers no longer subscribe to that collection of toilet paper substitute.
