The Central African Republic is one of more than 30 countries the U.S. government has convinced to accept third-country deportees arrested as part of President Trump's large-scale crackdown on illegal immigration. https://t.co/C7W0cmU74m
Stars and Stripes editor Erik Slavin told CBS today: "I received the notice of proposed separation today and I’m reviewing it. I’ll respond through the required process. According to the notice, I am being fired for stating in a CBS interview that censorship of news for service members would constitute a red line. The Pentagon's public affairs office has charged me with insubordination.
I stand by the principle that Stars and Stripes must remain editorially independent, as required by law and by the department’s own policies."

NEW: A federal appeals court on Friday said the top federal prosecutor in the Northern District of New York was unlawfully serving in his role when he subpoenaed New York Attorney General Letitia James as part of two investigations into her last year.
In a 2-1 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled against John Sarcone, who has been leading the U.S. Attorney's Office in Albany for more than a year—CBS News
The editor-in-chief and 2 other journalists at the military news organization "Stars and Stripes" have been fired
The editor-in-chief says this is about “censorship”
But Stephen Miller says they were fired for a good reason. For those unaware "Stars and Stripes" has been criticized as repeatedly running “DC gossip” stories and things like an ‘upcoming Bad Bunny concerts in Europe’
Again this is supposed to be a military paper, not used for Bad Bunny concert news in Europe…..
CBS News of course is trying to frame this as censorship from the Trump Admin
Marina Golbahari was a street kid selling magazines in Kabul when she was cast as the star of the 2003 award-winning Afghan film, "Osama." It told the story of a girl living under Taliban rule who’s forced to disguise herself as a boy so she can go outside and provide for her family.
23 years later, she spoke with CBS’ @KNIAfzali about how the film and its themes continue to resonate powerfully with the plight of millions of Afghan women and girls.
The editor was fired “for stating in a CBS interview that hypothetical censorship of news for service members would constitute a red line.” Trump calls this "insubordination." You can only say what Trump approves.

Letters that Natalie Harp wrote to President Trump paint the picture of an aide who was deeply invested in the approval and attention of her boss. The assistant’s letters were recently published by The Daily Beast after being obtained by author Michael Wolff. @nancycordes reports.

KEEP THIS IN MIND.
CBS asks President Trump if the indictments of James Comey, Letitia James, and John Bolton are “political retribution.”
He absolutely went off:
“You know what? You know who got indicted? The man you're looking at. I got indicted and I was innocent. And here I am because I was able to beat all of the nonsense that was thrown at me.”
“A dirty cop like Comey or a guy like Bolton who I hear took records all over the place. Letitia James is a terrible dishonest person in my opinion.

EXCLUSIVE: As the Trump administration continues its effort to carry out a record number of deportations, two immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally were sent to the Central African Republic, one of the most dangerous countries in the world, instead of their home. CBS News' @Camiloreports has more.
Imagine risking your life, infiltrating al Qaeda for the CIA. Then, when you come home, ICE tries to deport you. This is what New York taxi cab driver Blerim Skoro claims is happening to him.
CBS News' @JoshTBoswell took a look into the man who says he helped the U.S. convict several terrorists in the 2000s.
ICE has confirmed Skoro’s arrest and criminal history to CBS News. https://t.co/FhXgPJGIG3

HORROR: CBS News details a serious medication error at Ascension Saint Thomas Midtown in Nashville where four patients received potassium phosphate instead of intended anesthetics like mepivacaine prior to joint replacement surgeries on August 14, 2026.
The mix-up, traced to the hospital pharmacy, left two patients paralyzed (including 72-year-old Glenda Dorton with T6-level paralysis) and at least one on a ventilator temporarily, prompting immediate care and a self-reported investigation.
Hospital CEO Dr. Shubhada Jagasia confirmed the cause was identified with corrective safeguards implemented, while Tennessee regulators and the Bureau of Investigation continue probing the incident with no other patients affected.
