Good news - Talarico agrees with you that church and state must be kept separate.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?

If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?

It's a tax. That's all it is.

Agreed. I cancelled my subscription before the 2024 election, and I dropped Amazon Prime too. Bezos is toxic

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Agreed. The only people who benefit from better trained terrorists is the terrorists.

I'm okay with reflective vests. I do agree that ICE/Border Patrol etc should not dress like military. The challenge, of course, would be do define "dress like military"

First people do leave to get healthcare elsewhere constantly - Mexico and Costa Rica come to mind. But the people who can't access health care in the United States often don't have the money to go elsewhere, so they just go without.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.

Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

Not to mention your colleagues blocking an ambulance from reaching her...

It’s getting so the only safe place to be is in the Epstein Files. 🔄

Bad clickbait and shame on NPR for posting this. They aren't related. Good's murder is not a 'cherry picked' application of law; it was illegal at every level. The calls to deport Minaj are not serious nor hypocritical; they are made to illustrate Trump's corrupt protection of those who flatter him

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

I doubt even MAGATs believe the lies, and the Trump Admin doesn't care what they believe (nor what is actually true). What they do care about is that MAGATS display their loyalty to Trump - and acknowledge his power - by *saying* they believe his mouth sound.

So DO SOMETHING - something more than just call for consequences.

How could you not know the NYT has been a pro-Trump propaganda rag rather than a legitimate newspaper for years? This is not new

The nativist fanatics who support Trump don't care that he's married to an immigrant, so a spouse's identity appears to be insignificant and irrelevant to them. That said, it might be a bigger issue for Vance if his children's maternal ethnicity is too obvious to ignore. Poor kids.

Yep. Problem is about 36% of the voting-eligible population didn't vote in 2024.

Having heard her entire statement in context, I never thought she was wrong. The response her comment received confirmed my view.

We need to keep pushing that they release the Epstein files. Unredacted. If they fail to do this, the DoJ goes to jail.

News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we

have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.

We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Agreed. And I have started to become interested in how many media figures may be in there (Hello, David Brooks).

Agreed. I didn't see much coverage of the case, but what I did see didn't seem to justify a guilty verdict.

In two weeks.

Not surprised. I've assumed from the start that the other powerful people named in the Epstein files were also working to keep them suppressed.

Well I hope to outlive you outlive our worst president!

This video feels to conveniently on the nose to be real.
