This thread is really useful, and makes the point that this segment did indeed break some news.
This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.

It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

Seems significant - a fragment from the files that directly mentions Trump
Breaking: Evidence that Trump's DOJ is Actively Intimidating Epstein Survivors
A government that truly cares about victims would shield the vulnerable and expose the powerful. This one did the opposite.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

Statement from Maria Farmer: “This is amazing. Thank you for believing me. I feel redeemed. This is one of the best days of my life. Of course, it's mixed with the fact that I'm devastated about all the other little girls like Virginia who were harmed because the FBI didn't do their job. 1/
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

In light Disney licensing images for remix and the inevitable salacious results, I'm surprised I haven't seen anybody mention this classic e.g.

Oh yeah this thread, it's a quick history lesson.
At least Robert Welch chided his followers not to be openly racist, unlike TPUSA.
Imagine if state governments had mandated that all public schools create John Birch Society chapters in the 1960s.

Seems like they could tweak some CSS to get that button enabled, but what do I know…
The Trump admin gave states an ultimatum: Cooperate with the immigration crackdown, or lose your federal funding.

Oregon and 19 other states fought back — and won.

Then officials logged in to the grant website to accept the money, only to find the button to do so was disabled: propub.li/4a4Bsk5

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

🧵 These hundreds of attractive X/Twitter "MAGA patriots" don't exist.

They use stolen photos and hacked X accounts.
A chatbot equivalent helps them to gain thousands of followers.

There are 5+ potentially-separate networks.
The location transparency feature WON'T expose many of them.

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid.

A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.
