“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"
CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom
EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

Kavanaugh stops are racial profiling, which has been unconstitutional for law enforcement since 1975. #mapoli
What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops").
Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.
Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.
![Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.
Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go.
“I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Jones said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreib66z6racbfo5llgukbvmldxq44zaa7nqetkcs5cwxfez6xcec5oy@jpeg)

Federal goons in combat gear smashed through South Shore like it was Fallujah, ripping kids naked from their mothers, zip tying citizens, trashing apartments and calling it justice. This is not law enforcement. It is collective punishment dressed up as immigration policy.

There's nothing illegal about ICE block. This is solely about Apple appeasing the Trump regime.

How Trump picks winners and losers in the "free" market.
This was done at the direction of Pam Bondi. The US government is now dictating what apps you can have on your phone.
The underlying threat here is if Apple didn't comply, they'd slap billions in tariffs on Apple products.
