Jon Stewart Loves “60 Minutes” November 10, 2026 Or at least this segment. So fun. Also: OPRT Writes one large shareholder: “Did you get a chance to read this from last week’s earnings call? It’s chock full of great information. I am even more encouraged. The snowball is just cresting the top of the hill.” From his mouth to my retirement plan. (Though only with money we can truly afford to lose.) THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEAPONIZATION AND JUSTICE When a lawsuit is thrown out and the judge expresses contempt for its obvious lack of merit — as has happened to so many of the suits Trump has brought against his perceived enemies (as did Roy Cohn before him) — it was an example of weaponization. Likewise, when grand juries refuse to indict* and career prosecutors resign rather than prosecute — weaponization. Nothing like that happened under Carter, Clinton, Obama, or Biden. Or under Reagan. Bush 41 or Bush 43. By contrast, when lawsuits (or impeachments) are taken seriously (as 57 senators voting to convict took impeachment seriously, and as juries finding against Trump took seriously), they are not examples of weaponization, but rather the pursuit of justice. There is a difference between (say) briefly posting a pic of seashells arranged to say “8647,” and (say) murdering a helpless survivor clinging to an overturned boat. A jury might decide the murder was somehow justified; but to present them with the case is not weaponization, it’s the pursuit of justice. Prosecuting the seashell pic poster isn’t the pursuit of justice — it’s weaponization. There’s a clear difference between the two. Trump, and Cohn before him, pretend not to see it. The investigations and lawsuits Democrats bring in the years to come will not be in pursuit of revenge or intimidation; they will be in pursuit of truth and justice. There is a difference. PROFILES IN COWARDICE A good read. (I listened at 1.4x.) Subtitled: A Study of Collaboration in the Trump Era. I’m not brave myself, so I empathize with the eight who are profiled (one, a friend of longstanding). And yet, still . . . BONUS Robert Reich on the significance of soon-to-be-Senator Scott Colom. I hope this resonates with younger readers. For those of us who remember the Sixties firsthand . . . the assassinations . . . the Mississippi Freedom Summer . . . Schwerner, Goodman, and Chaney . . . it’s quite moving. *Ham sandwiches: eat your hearts out.
