The sad thing about these journalists standing up for freedom of the press is that Hegseth wants them out of there so he can run amok with fewer eyes on him.

And it's always amazing how even an idiot monster boss can find flunkies to support him and enforce his radical and random rules.

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

He's only suffering bad social media press for what he's doing, so he has no consequences that would make him rethink what he's doing, especially when Papa Trump is happy about it.

Antifa is an anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement to stand against fascist ideology, neo-Nazis and white supremacists thru nonviolent methods- poster campaigns, mutual aid, speeches, protest marches, and community organizing.
I guess it used to be called ‘American’🇺🇸

Horrifying. The ugliness and cruelty running rampant in this country should shame us all. Our government isn't just copying elements of Germany in the 30s. It's copying medieval civilizations that treated vulnerable humans like they were vermin.

Yes, it's unbelievably sad and scary that they want to erase at least half of our history: anything that the US did wrong and anything to do with Democrats, starting with FDR.

And the Trumps have the taste of a cheap Las Vegas casino.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a kind first lady who liked to be actively involved in helping people better their lives rather than one who's just "beautiful"? I seem to remember something like that happening in the past.

I canceled mine early this year. A resistance tactic we're not yet using regularly is to withdraw our dollars from businesses in a massive way. Besides, I needed the $$ to subscribe to our independent media.

Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports

Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.

Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.
