Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

As I explained in my newsletter, this is because Trump's team has reinvented millennia of math to invert what "percentage of change" means.

Detaining people with no criminal charges.
Then offering cash to make them disappear.

Trump pulls 30 envoys in ‘America First’ push, critics say it weakens US abroad
The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 ambassadors and other senior career diplomats to ensure embassies reflect its “America First” priorities, a move critics said would weaken U.S. credibility abroad.

The 60 minutes CECOT video is awful. Torture conditions of migrants who had legal status.
The end of the episodes alluded to other, less transparent prisons that Trump has used in other countries known for torture.

This statement is a sick joke. US foreign policy is a sick joke, being implemented by enemies of truth, freedom & democracy - people driven by personal greed & the opportunity to exploit the suffering of others by trading US power and prestige for death & business opportunities.

We also destroyed our cybersecurity and stopped watching how the Russians were spying on and manipulating us.
No doubt they know what's going on before we do. At this point Tulsi doesn't even have to tell them directly.

I’m sure Russia knows what we are going to do before the American people since they have so many people serving in the Trump admin sharing intel with them.

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

You didn’t just close state offices. You told employees to spend the day “giving thanks for Christ’s birth.”
A day off is fine. Using state power to promote one religion is not.
Arkansans deserve a governor who doesn't impose her religion onto everyone else.

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.

At least six career staff were placed on leave after DHS opened an investigation into whether they misled the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, into taking the test.
