As the story about Bari Weiss and "60 Minutes" blew up, the subject--the brutal prison in El Salvador, CECOT--was very familiar to the @statesnewsroom.com DC Bureau. @arianalfigueroa.bsky.social has covered deportations to CECOT since March. A sampling:

President Donald Trump announced a new class of battleships to build out what he has dubbed the Navy's "Golden Fleet" that he says will be "the fastest, the biggest, and by far -- 100 times -- more powerful than any battleship ever built."

Want to fall in love? Watch this video and listen to these men. Being able to love wholeheartedly is the most admirable and attractive quality there is. These men are wise and full of love. Their daughters are very, very lucky to have them.
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Pushback works. It may take more time to work than we want, but it's foundational to slowing and eventually stopping this administration's abuses. Well done, IL and Chicago!
Serious credit to Gov. Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and a bunch of people in and around Chicago who stood up to illegal, unjust, un-American, rights-violating anti-immigrant (or sometimes just anti-brown-people) federal operations.
If they weakly acquiesce like some others did, courts don’t take it up.

Proud to build and lead a bipartisan coalition with Rep. Jeff Hurd and @bennet.senate.gov & @hickenlooper.senate.gov — joined by more than 80 of our colleagues in the House and Senate — to protect NCAR in the FY26 NSF appropriations bill.
We will not stop until NCAR is protected — period.

Donald Trump is good at one thing: making everything more expensive.
And while energy prices climb, he’s ripped away critical funding that helps low-income families heat their homes.
The Trump agenda: tax breaks for billionaires, higher costs and painful cuts for working families.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
