Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

When the winner of the Nobel peace prize smuggled herself over the water and out of Venezuela to attend the ceremony in Oslo this week, her allies called the Pentagon to ask them not to arbitrarily murder her. www.wsj.com/world/americ...

I read in USA TODAY this morning that Nobel Peace Prize Winner Maria Corina Machado arrived in Norway after sneaking out of Venezuela on a fishing boat. Im glad she made it and Trump and Hegseth didnt blow her boat out of the water.

Donald Trump is clearly willing to do whatever it takes to stay in power, regardless of what the Constitution says. He “has always told us exactly who he is,” J. Michael Luttig argues. “We have just not wanted to believe him. But we must believe him now.”
President for Life
Donald Trump is trying to amass the powers of a king.

To refuse an illegal order is drummed into you, starting with your first ethics lesson. I'm proud of our prior service members for stating it.
Just remember how hard it is for our junior enlisted and officers if their superiors aren't as ethical.

The dead men there,
Winners or losers,
Did not care.

Eight Senators in your caucus have so little respect for you that they went around you and negotiated directly with the GOP. We have lost confidence in your ability to lead. Step down now.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

With a compliant Congress ready to do Trump’s bidding, American taxpayers will soon have to open their wallets to send billions more in welfare payments to farmers for markets they lost through his unwinnable trade war.
This is on top of Trump's tariff taxes costing families $2,400 more a year.

Trump making plans to send billions in cash bailouts to farmers with taxpayer money
The president has also said he wants to use direct tariff revenue for the payments, but that could trigger a major fight in Congress.
