Steve Kerr on the murder of Renee Good:
"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

Fair point.
The whole lot of them spent Jan. 6th lying about what happened 5 years ago. Why should anyone expect them to start telling the truth on January 7th?

And the world is watching ..but is the US Supreme Court? Their overbroad immunity decision enabled this narcissist president’s grave overreach and misuse of US military power.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

So maybe Congress should do something?

Some thoughts on what Trump has done in Venezuela and what it might mean for US national security. Caveat: not a Latin America scholar so this is focused on US policy. Clearly huge consequences for Venezuela that others can address.
First, despite the buildup, I didn't think Trump would do it.

It’s hard to fathom the tragedy of another Kennedy-this time Tatiana Schlossberg-dying at such a relatively young age
But it’s unimaginable to comprehend what she felt, while cancer was stealing her life, as she watched her cousin cut research that might’ve saved other victims of malignant diseases

Good judicial news!
In a small breath of reprieve, the 9th Circuit Court has temporarily blocked a lower court ruling from a conservative judge that would have allowed teachers to forcibly out trans students to their parents.
This case will eventually have national implications.

Todd Blanche said it is DOJ policy NOT to release photos that contain victims.
So . . . the release of [undoctored] photos with Bill Clinton is an exoneration of him and refusing to release pics with Donald Trump is an admission of Trump's culpability.
Good to know.

Looking forward to Nancy Mace’s condemnation of these men in a women’s bathroom.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

The segment seems to contradict Bari’s assertion that the Trump administration didn’t respond to request for comment. Per the report, 60 Minutes reached out to DHS who declined a request for an interview and referred all questions about CECOT to El Salvador.
