The delayed/smothered/spiked 60 Minutes report is what you'd expect: a straightforward account of the brutality at CECOT told through the eyes of a migrant sent there who claims to have no criminal record. It ought to be a disgrace for the Trump administration. Let's see how Bari Weiss handles this.

From time to time I burden you with some personal stuff, based on my belief that our values begin with who we are and where we came from.

There are a lot of things to be nostalgic about journalism, but seeing a shitfaced editor come back from lunch, grab your story off the pile and wildly mark up your copy is not one of them.

Because of the woke left, people have been afraid to say anything other than "Happy Holidays" during this time of year. But now, thanks to the efforts of Trump, Vance, and the GOP, folks are once again comfortable with the more traditional, "Sieg Heil."

There’s a great expression from Argentinian Spanish about someone who’s sticking their oar in that goes vos no te peinés que no salís en esta foto. It means “don’t comb your hair because you don’t appear in this photograph.”

A team of marine mammal experts had been trying to find a sea lion with an orange rope wrapped around its neck for a month. They were finally able to catch up to it in Cowichan Bay, Canada.

WHO AMONG US hasn't sat down 11 times with a journalist and a tape recorder only to be shocked that they'd publish stuff we talked about?

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.
