WATCH: The 60 Minutes CECOT Segment
The full segment aired on the GlobalTV app in Canada. Someone sent me a link to a recorded version. Let's see if we can figure out whether Bari Weiss' decision to spike it was editorial or political.

But Fox sits tight after its host Brian Kilmeade says homeless people should be euthanized (followed later by a weak 30-second apology).

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

Mike Lee shouldn't just be expelled from Congress, he should be expelled from public life, just completely shunned by everyone he encounters like in that episode of The Twilight Zone. He is unfit to hold public office and his party should take action. The party won't, but it should.

It takes 3.5% leading a mass uprising and shutting down the Capitol for weeks at a time. Waiving a bunch of signs in public parks for a single day isn't going to magically do it.

6/ The deployment of the National Guard and Marines to LA was the next escalation. Trump sent the military into LA to inflame and create the conditions for more violence. The assault of Senator Padilla was the natural result of these purposefully heightened tensions.

5/ Trump sends other clear signals supporting political violence. Said he might pardon those that plotted the kidnapping of Gov. Whitmer; threatened peaceful protestors of his military parade with assault. Again, Democrats don't say these things. Not "both sides."

4/ And we cannot discount the impact of MAGA's fetishization of guns. MAGA celebrates the tools of mass shooters and assassins - assault rifles, machine guns, silencers and high capacity magazines. MAGA doesn't treat firearms with respect - it celebrates their killing power.

3/ But it didn't start with January 6th. Trump regularly threatened protesters at his rallies with violence. He cozied up to brutal dictators abroad who used violence to maintain political control. There was no comparison in Democratic messaging.

2/ For the last five years, MAGA has been bathed in political violence. Most importantly, MAGA's celebration of January 6th and Trump's decision to pardon ALL the Jan 6 rioters - including the most violent - became a clear endorsement of violence committed in his name.

spoken like a diehard White Sox fan
In our competitive society, where it seems that only the strong and winners deserve to live, sport also teaches us how to lose. It forces us, in learning the art of losing, to confront our fragility, our limitations and our imperfections. It is through the experience of these limits that we open our hearts to hope. Athletes who never make mistakes, who never lose, do not exist.

Padilla getting handcuffed in the state he represents is rightfully getting attention but this should be the story. It's deeply scary and honestly, as someone in L.A., a giant lie about where we are.

AFAIK this is the first public statement from Trump that's consistent with how tariffs actually work. Tariffs are charged on the importer of course, but the exporter can "eat" some of the cost by lowering their own price. (They won't.) Happy we're all trapped on this learning journey with Donald.
