The devolution of CBS News A network once revered for fact-based reporting is embracing right-wing pseudo-journalism

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

“People over Papers, a crowdsourcing project that maps sightings of US immigration agents, was taken offline yesterday by Padlet, the collaborative bulletin board platform on which it was built. It’s just the latest ICE-tracking initiative to be pulled by tech platforms in the past few days.”

Last night I went to obtain both my flu vaccine and COVID vaccine on account that this administration seeks to change requirements every day. The process was smooth and everyone should receive both vaccines.

Despite campaign promises, White House eyes new changes to Social Security and Medicare “I will never do anything that will jeopardize or hurt Social Security or Medicare,” Trump vowed in 2024. I have bad news for voters who believed him.

Reported Trump plan to cut more than 750,000 older Americans off disability:

Opinion | ‘Reading Rainbow’ returns to a country far more hostile to books — and diversity "Reading Rainbow" returns after 19 years and, fittingly, lands a day before 2025's "Banned Books Week."

“When Burton was hosting the show, there did not appear to be many people arguing against the idea of introducing children to books by authors of different colors, cultures, ethnicities and experiences.” My column at @msnbc.com www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

This is an administration that does sizzle reels of ICE abusing communities. They want the visuals of dominance, regardless of the law.

ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.

I’m traveling up through Rural PA today. Will share some insights later in the day in regards to how Rural Pennsylvanians are viewing the shutdown, Trumpists etc.

Shutdown Day 4

One year ago, all the mainstream media talked about was how terrible inflation was. Here we are, a year later, and it’s even worse.

Riddle me this: Why does inflation under Trump get only a tiny fraction of the press attention it got last year? 🤨

"Should Miss Liberty Be Deported" pamphlet from 1950 calling for contributions to challenge the deportation drives.

In the late 1940s into the 1950s, the US sought to ideologically deport individuals, including those who had lived in the US for most of their lives.

"Should Miss Liberty Be Deported?" is a pamphlet in 1950 calling on the public to help challenge these deportations.

Albanian PM Edi Rama mocked Trump to Macron: “You should congratulate Ilham Aliyev and me. Trump has ended the conflict between Albania and Azerbaijan”

Earlier Trump claimed he ended a war between Albania and Azerbaijan. It was a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
