Bari gets a heavily promoted 60 Minutes story that would be bad for the Trump administration killed:
All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

HASSETT: If the Supreme Court doesn't find with us, refunds would go to whoever cut the check for the tariff

BRENNAN: Doesn't the administration claim it was the country that paid that?

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE.

Available to download Friday, some Epstein files no longer there Saturday afternoon
An NPR analysis of the Epstein files shows some documents, originally available on Friday, are no longer on the Department of Justice's "Epstein Library" website as the DOJ releases more files.

I don't get why these The Mandalorian And Grogu trailers look like they were made on a $10 budget? I guess it's intentional?

Almost a year into this presidency, Trump voters have gotten nothing except the Big Beautiful Bill, which was usual Republican politics of giving tax cuts to the rich and slashing social spending for the poor. Housing remains unaffordable, cost of living is rising, and manufacturing jobs fell.

Breaking news: The Trump administration plans to shift the federal government away from directly recommending most vaccines for children and suggest parents consult with doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

I absolutely cannot wait for AI to take over healthcare. Forget even big stuff like breakthroughs. Just day in day out things like how it will never be too busy or dumb to forget to tell you important information about a process.

Yes, it’s illegal. Like changing it to Department of War, like ten thousand other things. Part of the Trump strategy is to break the law and convey “the rule of law is weak and feminine and laughable and should be overridden by Our Guy.” Trump is fundamentally anti-law.

The Trump family has amassed a $4 billion fortune since his re-election.

During my time as Ambassador, I was accused of "focusing too intensely on the issue of corruption." There's no such thing.

We need leaders who serve the people — not themselves.
