This really is, as Sara says, INSANE memory-holing: Minutes after FCC Chairman Carr told Congress that the FCC "is not" an independent agency (see video below via @atrupar.com), the FCC website started getting scrubbed to remove that description.

Really remarkable number in here: 62% of independents favor path to legalization over deportations. Trump and Stephen Miller are actively, relentlessly pushing the country in a pro-immigrant direction.
Maybe those who argued against attacking Trump on this due to "salience" fears got this wrong?

New Quinnipiac poll:
57% favor path to legalization for undocs vs 35% who back deporting them
Trump underwater on immigration (44-54) and on deportations (42-55)
Meanwhile DHS's Twitter feed is a white nationalist sewer pit and Gregory Bovino is swaggering around like an occupying general

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Truly Unhinged: Trump Suggests Rob Reiner Had It Coming For Criticizing Him
When Hollywood legend Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were murdered Sunday evening—allegedly by their son, who was arrested—you might (had you been living in another time with a different President) have expected the President of the United States to either stay silent or offer condolences. Instead, Donald Trump saw an opportunity to demonstrate to the world—yet again—how truly depraved and obsessed he is.
