If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.

That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Donald Trump’s Department of Justice just went on national television and said that their official position is to protect pedophiles.

That’s what Todd Blanche just said out loud on TV.

Is this what you voted for Maga?

In 2023, the Education Department launched investigations into a Texas school district after several alleged incidents of racial bullying, and an investigator was planning to visit.

Then the 2024 presidential election happened — and the visit didn’t.

It's a risk, but a prediction: The White House ballroom will never be built.

Every red flag for a bunk project is waving. Yes, it's symbolic.

It's why Trump is grasping at cheap ploys like renaming the Kennedy Center. He can't build stuff, just steal.

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.

Will Jordan release the video to the public?

If not, why not?

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
 
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
