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

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

Unauthorized strikes. Civilians killed. Survivors bombed.
Congress cut out.
Military lawyers purged.
And Pete Hegseth won’t testify.
If the Secretary of Defense can kill without oversight, the law is optional—and no one is safe.
Demand Hegseth testify. 👇

surely the women's bathroom is a sacred space ive been told by conservatives
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.

Biden's labor secretary had a fantastic deal with US Steel and labor unions to build all wind turbines here in the US with unions. That's all out the damned window now.
Burgum on wind energy: "It wasn't even actually green because when you look at the components, the magnets, the blades, everything that goes into building this thing, you can really question whether it was green in the first place"

Democrats must erect a framework that encompasses the totality of the Trump era’s blatant disregard for the law. Watergate was about the actions of a president. The post-Trump legal process is the prosecution of a vast criminal conspiracy.
Will the Trump Administration be held accountable for its sweeping crimes?

Tom Nichols on Venezuela: “One of the reasons that the Trump administration is picking this fight is because it’s a splendid little war of convenience that I believe that the White House believes is going to solve a lot of its political problems.”

Does American pressure on Venezuela work? Tom Nichols: “Depends on what the Americans and President Trump think this is supposed to do. When we talk about whether or not this works, the question should always be: Works to do what?”

Kash Patel made the FBI buy a custom fleet of armored BMW X5 for him to ride around in. trib.al/TWwVhrG

Patel’s FBI spokesperson claimed—without evidence—that this is actually saving the American taxpayer money. The standard version of the X5 costs about $70,000.

The corruption is absolutely staggering. One big money donor after another receiving direct benefits in return. Trump didn’t drain any swamps, he created a giant sewer to roll around in daily. Great reporting. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Handwaving away your party’s embrace of antisemitic conspiracy theories by saying “at least we’re not controlled by George Soros” is the most ridiculously quiet-part-loud thing I’ve ever seen.

This is the second week in a row that Brennan has had what I will call a regime moment and while I see people wondering what pressure she's under I will say that the fact she is still there doing this job should lead people to question whether she's fine with doing this.
BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?

MASSIE: No. They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law. It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.
