Share and tell CBS to air this! Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who reported a segment about migrants sent to the El Salvadoran torture prison CECOT, just sent a blistering letter to colleagues, sounding the alarm that Bari Weiss spiked the story for political reasons.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.

NEW: A review of more than 100 Alabama court cases found some immigrants saw harsher punishments than citizens, even when they have fewer prior convictions.

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?

Noem: We have not deported military veterans.

Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

The EPA has quietly removed the fact that human activity is driving climate change from a handful of pages on its website. The changes comes as the Trump administration takes aggressive action to boost oil, gas and coal, the burning of which is the main driver of global warming.
Some Mentions of Human Causes of Climate Change Removed From E.P.A. Site
An E.P.A. site listing the causes of climate change no longer includes the main one: human activity.

Teach a man who hates socialism and votes for authoritarianism to farm and he can receive socialist handouts for life from the government that bankrupted him in the first place.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

I don’t know if it because I’m an adult now and I read more…but it sure feels like there are fewer and fewer independent companies these days.

His channel, MeidasTouch, puts out 15 videos a day exposing Republican failings – and it is getting bigger audiences than Joe Rogan’s. Is this the champion the American left has been waiting for?

As the crackdown on the first amendment continues, the truth comes out. They never did care about Charlie Kirk. He was only a blood sacrifice in the MAGA death cult.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Just so everyone knows, the mass deportation effort is a poorly disguised effort to enrich the executives of private prison companies. (I.E. CoreCivics and others)

Not negotiating with the other side and simply demanding they accept your terms or you commit more genocide isn’t really a deal. FYI

Trying to bring back coal is like trying to bring back perms and bell-bottom jeans…it’s be dead since the early 80s. Just look at the numbers. The decline of coal started in the 70s and has continued to this day because it is just not a good product compared to natural gas or green energy

Meiselas: A very mentally unstable Donald Trump is making psychotic posts this morning. I’m not trying to exaggerate or make light of it — it’s just reality. He’s posting AI-generated videos promising fake alien healthcare technology from a QAnon conspiracy called “med beds.”
