Ramirez to Noem: "You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership reported they were raped, beaten, and nearly died."

I think this is right. It’s like when a family has decided to tolerate an abusive drunk. They know what he’s like and they’ve priced it into their decisions and they don’t want to hear you talk about it.
Yes, Fox makes people dumber, but I think many of you underestimate how many Trump supporters go to Fox because they already know he’s terrible and they don’t want to hear about it
For my own edification, I started watching Fox News. Their audience has no clue about any of Trump's failings. Any thing negative will not be reported, or if it is, it'll be cast as a false accusation made by evil Dems.
I know several Ivy League graduates who fell for the narrative. It's nuts.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.

Abrego Garcia is not a "proven human trafficker." He has merely been *accused by the government* of being one. That's not the same thing. And if Leavitt is so certain of these charges, why is the administration attempting to deport him to Africa to avoid trying him in a US court?

we need to do more than whine about right-wing billionaires owning the media, we need alternatives. My idea is an individual tax credit, which cities or states can do, but let's come up with others. Whining is not a strategy.
An individual tax credit could help shift media power away from Trump-friendly billionaires. @deanbaker13.bsky.social argues that this would give people the means to support serious journalism at the state and local level. https://bit.ly/49apzar
