Upon further reflection, CBS Evening News' decision to shift away from interviewing experts and towards highlighting what regular people are saying is smart because the experts would just be screaming profanities tonight.

President Trump “is pushing our country toward an international crisis without valid reasons,” the editorial board writes after the U.S. attack on Venezuela was announced on Saturday. “If Mr. Trump wants to argue otherwise, the Constitution spells out what he must do: Go to Congress.”

This excellent PBS- Frontline documentary exposes what happened to individuals who were sent to CECOT and the abuse and horrific conditions they endured.
The Trump admin claimed they were dangerous criminals and gang members, but, the vast majority of them were never charged with any crimes.

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it.
Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day.
They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.
