Overwhelming amount of media world chatter and concern about "60 Minutes" tonight. Why would CBS News promote the story about the Trump admin's deportations to CECOT on Friday, only to shelve it today? Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi says it is "not an editorial decision, it is a political one."

Trump said of Jamal Khashoggi's killing "things happen." He also told a Bloomberg journalist to be "Quiet, Piggy." He called for the execution of six Democratic lawmakers. A particularly heinous week. My Nation column on all of this, and more: www.thenation.com/article/worl...
In Defending Mohammed bin Salman, Trump Sinks to a New Low
Trump was incandescent with anger that journalists would have the temerity to question his wealthy “guest” with the bottomless wallet.

So Qatar gifts Trump a $400M luxury jet and instead of saying hell no, his team twists the law like a balloon animal to make it fit.
The Constitution says no foreign gifts without Congress.
Trump says, “Unless it’s gold-plated.”
This isn’t diplomacy. It’s corruption wrapped in jet fuel.

A disgusting new level of propaganda.
Karoline Leavitt wasted taxpayer dollars plastering mug shots across the White House lawn — like trophies.
Lies. Fear. Dehumanization. All to distract us from their own failures.

Trump’s DOJ has revoked funding for nearly 400 nonprofits, including organizations that:
-Advocate for non-English speaking crime victims
-Support victims of child abuse, hate crimes, and human trafficking
-Work to reduce school shootings
Devastating.

Justice Department halts funds for programs for victims of hate crimes, child abuse, school violence and more
At least two of the 365 grants have since been restored. Nonprofits call it a "devastating blow."

Voting is how we hold our elected leaders accountable.
A healthy democracy is how we stop corruption and ensure everyone has a voice in the system.
Donald Trump is attacking these foundational America values.
We’re fighting back.

Stop the cuts! Inspired to see so many Minnesotans coming together to demand the Trump Administration end its attacks on Medicaid, Social Security, and SNAP—just to fund tax breaks for billionaires. The rule of law is under attack but we are not powerless, and we’re fighting back 🇺🇸💙

"I am very concerned that if these cuts are not rescinded, these will have an effect for decades." Dr. David Kessler, former FDA commissioner, is losing confidence that the damage Donald Trump is doing to the United States is fixable.
