Unbelievable.
They clearly don’t understand the Iranian regime if they think economic pressure is going to work.
Iran understands they have the leverage here. They’ll keep playing Trump like a puppet until he gets all the way in, or all the way out of the war.
Hopefully out.
This is exactly what I run into with conspiracy theorists — a stray, unverified claim gets treated as if it debunks the real story, and it almost always falls apart under scrutiny. Wild to hear that pattern showing up at 60 Minutes as @CeciliaVega describes it.

Ngl its super scary that society as a whole isn’t this upset that our elected officials are deadass protecting rich pedophiles. In any other timeline heads would be rolling.
#BREAKING: Soboroff: “…I wanna tell you about something that most people are not familiar with. They are called police fusion centers. What they are is intelligence hubs created after 9/11 to share information among local cops and the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security as well as other federal agencies, and under the Trump administration, their role in the president’s immigration crackdown and his expanding domestic terrorism dragnet has truly received remarkably LITTLE SCRUTINY. Here’s the thing to know about fusion centers. They are creatures of the state. Governors authorize them. State and local police run them, and state budgets help fund them. The Department of Homeland Security supports them and in many cases they embed personnel directly inside of them, so you would assume the governors in Democratic leaning states are watching very closely, watching what flows through these centers to ICE and to DHS and to Trump’s FBI…but what we found…through our own reporting, is that watching closely might not be enough because the machine may be built in a way that no amount of good faith can fully control.” 😳
This week in the U.S.,
- a majority-Black district was split up in Tennessee
- another Trump investigator was targeted by the GOP
- federal agents were informed that the FBI is no longer investigating ICE confrontations
🚙 Speech - Detroit, Michigan | Sen. Chris Van Hollen delivered his first stump speech for Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Ferndale on Saturday, urging voters to elect a senator willing to “rock the boat” and confront powerful interests.
Here’s what Sen. Van Hollen, who is himself weighing a 2028 presidential run, discussed in his speech supporting El-Sayed:
🔹 Outside money:
Van Hollen said up to $60 million in super PAC spending is flooding the primary. “This is not charitable giving,” he said. “They’re afraid of Abdul.”
🔹 Israel and foreign policy:
Van Hollen said US tax dollars should fund schools and healthcare, “not send billions” to Netanyahu’s government as it continues to “wreak havoc in Gaza and on the West Bank.” He said AIPAC is spending roughly $30 million because it wants a senator who will continue approving that aid, declaring: “Enough is enough.” He also called the US war against Iran “illegal.”
🔹 Healthcare:
He backed Medicare for All, saying healthcare dollars should fund patients and prevention, not middlemen, hedge funds and corporate profits.
🔹 Cost of living:
He called for a billionaire wealth tax and backed legislation preventing households from paying higher electricity bills to power data centers owned by some of the world’s richest corporations.
🔹 Big Pharma and labor:
Van Hollen said taxpayers should not “pay twice” for publicly funded drug research and then face the world’s highest prices. He also highlighted El-Sayed’s support from the UAW and National Nurses United.
🔹 ICE:
No Recalling his fight to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia from imprisonment in El Salvador, Van Hollen said Democrats need leaders who confront ICE rather than thank it.

Elias: They’re not going to inspire voters. They’re not going to persuade voters, and they’re not really going to turn out their own voters. Elections are a game of inches. Their way of gaining those inches is not to increase Donald Trump’s popularity but rather to decrease the number of Democrats who are able to vote.

Carl Gunn, 77, was concerned for his privacy when he spotted a Flock camera outside his neighborhood.
The only pole Gunn had tall enough was his pool skimmer. He taped a sign to it, grabbed a camping chair, and sat himself in front of the camera.
“The Flock company, they’re doing this for profit,” Gunn told CL. “We didn’t give them permission to do it on us. If they want to do it for profit, I want my paycheck.”

NEW: 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 CBS News is reporting fake news and is pushing pro-Israel propaganda, claims Former CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega
Former CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega said she was pressured by the network's new leadership to include misinformation and political bias in stories that aired this year, ABC News reports.
Vega alleged that CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, a self-declared “Zionist fanatic,” and other executives pushed her to report on events that "never happened" and sought to inject political bias into several segments.
In one case she was asked to describe Iran as being "outgunned by the United States and Israel," which she called "an administration talking point."
CBS has denied the allegations, stating they are "not based in reality."
Vega was among several prominent 60 Minutes journalists dismissed from the program earlier this year.
