We reject this administration's blatant lies.

Trump and his sycophants are so consumed with power and convinced their delusions are real, they don't realize going up against professionals with decades of experience in law and justice are going to kick their asses in court. Bring it on!

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do β€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Walter Cronkite, otherwise known as the most trusted voice in America, would be very disappointed to see the flagship become a dinghy. What an amazing fall from grace and an embarrassment to the profession of journalism.

They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

ICE zip-tying and detaining children isn’t β€œenforcement,” it’s *state cruelty.*

The 8th Amendment prohibits β€œcruel and unusual punishment.” That protection extends through the 5th & 14th to all human beings on U.S. soil.

This is unconstitutional, unlawful, and morally depraved.

FULL STOP.

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE is] just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that say I'm a U.S. citizen. So U.S. citizens are getting detained and arrested."

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.

Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.

It seems to me that with MAGA in charge, we are in a race to the bottom in almost every category at an alarming speed.

It's about time that federal judges call BS on the wildly exagerated asserstions that any city in our country is a "war zone". It's nonsense and should be called out as such.

Unlike Trump, who hawks phony garbage that is worthless on paper, Soros is a real billionaire who uses his own money to contribute to causes he believes in. I highly doubt Trump can come up with anything that could be used to stop him from doing that.

I guess with MAGA in charge we are no longer bound by the Geneva Convention which does not allow tear gas to be used even in warfare.

And even though all of us realize how badly our own media organizations are doing their jobs, we just accept both-sides-ism and move on? At what point did our country lose our free press and nobody noticed? Accepting MAGA fantasies has never been acceptable, and yet here we are.

The fact that we are killing people in international waters with absolutely to proof of guilt makes it, uhm, internation. It also invites anyone else to attack any of us on the high seas, bringing piracy back in a big way. What seems like a good sound bite endagers everyone.

I don't know which is more alarming: the attack on free speach or the attack on journalism, the one thing clearly defined in our Constitution to keep our govenrment honest.
