According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved.

She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused.

So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.

Yeah, this is basically where I stand.
Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives
This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...

...on the other hand, FUCK that guy, in particular.

Keeping a running list of the verbs Dems use when discussing what should happen to ICE. So far:
*"Dismantle"- Espaillat
*"Abolish" - Thanedar, Pressley
*"Reform" - Jeffries, Darren Soto, Robin Kelly ("a lot of reform, if not complete abolishment”), Moulton, Ansari...
Gallego ("moderate" Dem) is going with "ICE needs to be totally torn down" (not "reform and retrain"). This is a pivot point for the country on immigration. You have been seeing this in the data for a while, and now officials are snapping to the public opinion www.gelliottmorris.com/p/ice-is-a-7...

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

The next government shutdown could hit at the end of this month, and if the budget bill includes more funding for ICE — shut it down!

ICE is a horror show of abuse, violence, and human rights violations. Every Dem in Congress should be talking about it like @repespaillat.bsky.social

I know in my heart that the Siege of Minneapolis will go down as one of the biggest political blunders/grossest abuses of federal power in American history. Just a matter how long that consensus takes. Next week? Next year? Next decade?

Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill: "The president said he was going to use our American cities for practice for our troops. I think he is trying to incite the protesters…The protesters have been peaceful, but ICE hasn't been. They're assaulting people on the street."

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

Props to the protestors who the New York Times credits for foiling ICE’s intended raid in Chinatown earlier today.

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.
