CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office.

ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

Zohran Mamdani on the weaponization of the DOJ against Letitia James. Pam Bondi is going to have to answer to all of these fake indictments. She is going to lose everything in life because of this alliance with Trump.

Ovidio Guzman enters plea deal in July 2025, agrees to forfeit $80 million to Feds. In exchange, 17 of his family members crossed the border into the USA and are in protective custody. If Ovidio “el raton” rats out enough people he may avoid a life sentence

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

Paid for Pushing Kremlin Talking Points

Benny Johnson was one of 3 SM influencers "duped" into taking millions of dollars from a Russian influence operation that meshes with conservative wedge issues.

He has a place of privilege in the White House press room, which includes being called on first.
