The Trump administration took 250 Venezuelan immigrants-most of them never convicted of any crime

And-without a trial or due process-sent them to a prison built for terrorists and gang members

Where they were beaten, tortured and sexually abused

This is what CBS-thanks to Bari Weiss-covered up
CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.

The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦

My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.

In all these cases, it's his own insecurity that's driving it.
Why does Trump want Greenland? “National security.”

Why should Trump’s ballroom vanity project proceed? “National security.”

Why is Trump killing the wind energy industry? “National security.”

Why does Trump hate the New York Times? “National security.”

The pattern is ... not subtle.
For the White House, ‘national security’ is becoming the answer to every question
Donald Trump and his team have a go-to tactic intended to shut down debate over their goals. It's not working.

So last night as I was wondering why Pam Bondi diverted almost 200 National Security attorneys who should be chasing hackers and spies to redact the Epstein files, I remembered that John Eisenberg, who heads it, is the guy who altered the Trump-Zelenskyy transcript.

Maybe the Trump people are playing it wrong, the photos they refuse to share may not be as bad as what we are all imagining?

Today, we're learning why DOJ didn't release the redacted files last March. Because the multitude of redactions exposes how much they're covering up.

We're demanding a federal judge intervene so our clients can get the lifesaving care they need.

We knew this already, but shocking to hear a prosecutor say it out loud.
BREAKING on MS NOW:

Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says:

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Sandy Hook should have been a wake up call...but no. Over and over we simply ignore the violence. This isn't what a civilized nation should do.
Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

Have you seen the story from Spencer Ackerman on the torture tactics at Alligator Alcatraz putting people in small boxes? It’s horrific. Amnesty International is aware and has been taking statements. I couldn’t finish the article. It made me cry.
