So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

Many get sick while traveling.
One major reason is they don’t realize mass transit is high risk because airline CEOs lied about viral spread early in the pandemic and lobbied the CDC to lower precautions.
To make the most of your holiday, take precautions like wearing a mask when you travel!

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

Not to be too conspiratorial, but this story would undoubtedly portray the Trump admin in a bad light (they sent innocent people to be tortured through a process the Supreme Court unanimously held lacked due process) and now CBS isn't airing it on time.

Power goes out in San Francisco and the robot cars, needing the lights to "self" drive, all stop at once, blocking streets and emergency vehicles - which are needed more than ever in a black out!
We knew AI causes power outages. Turns out it also makes them worse by being stupid.

It's always the most obsessed anti trans people who get caught with CSAM.
1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care.
A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.
The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."
