60 Minutes pulling the CECOT segment didn’t bury the story — it amplified it, drawing far more attention than airing it ever would have.

Kerry Kennedy on the name change of the Kennedy Center:
"President Kennedy proudly stood for justice, peace, equality, dignity, diversity, and compassion for those who suffer. President Trump stands in opposition to these values, and his name should not be placed alongside President Kennedy’s.”

Many expected the prime-time address to be about waging war on Venezuela, but it wasn’t even mentioned. At the same time, a 26th boat was blown out of the water, killing four.

Fox just threw RFK Jr. under the bus for the measles outbreaks!!!! Said this was due to low vaccination rates and that this is due to the mistrust that the current CDC lead by RFK Jr. is causing.

Trump’s DOJ can’t even manufacture a fake case against Letitia James. Imagine getting beat THREE TIMES by the woman who already cleaned your clock in court. She’s undefeated, unbothered, and still living rent-free in Donald’s head.

DHS again violated a court order, first deporting a man seeking asylum to Guatemala where he faced torture, then failing to return him as agreed, with the judge calling it "blatant lawlessness."
