This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
This the quintessential story of how sports reflects the state of the world. Thousands of fans have waited for Game 3 their whole lives and now they’re priced out of entering the game and can’t even celebrate outside because one billionaire gets to attend the game for free.
James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell
Remember, the constant efforts by Trump to disparage and undermine journalists are not separate from the purposeful dismantling of 60 Minutes and other independent media. This is all connected and coordinated.
I'm back at the Capitol to advocate for New Jersey because what I saw at Delaney Hall is out right disturbing.
Here are three things we can do to make things better for detainees and their families.
Incredibly proud to be from South Jersey and to serve the entire state of New Jersey. Thank you to everyone who came to our Town Hall in Logan Township tonight. Your time, energy, and dedication to your communities and our country means a great deal to me. I’ll be bringing our conversations back to the Capitol and I promise to fight for you.
My office has received multiple calls today alleging use of pepper spray and physical force against detainees inside Delaney Hall. If true, these actions must stop immediately and demand accountability.
ICE and GEO Group have a responsibility to keep detainees safe; they’ve instead refused to let State health officials conduct full inspections and have repeatedly stood in the way of Congressional oversight.
The people inside Delaney Hall deserve their day in court and to be treated humanely, not violently. The time is now to shut this broken facility down. –AK
Secretary Mullin said I shouldn't have been at Delaney Hall, but I disagree.
This isn't about me. This is about the detainees and their families, the lawlessness we're seeing from ICE.
I was willing to take a risk and I'd do it all over again to keep people safe.
Now there is video of Senator @AndyKimNJ being pepper-sprayed by DHS outside Delaney Hall detention facility on Monday. You can hear onlookers say, “they tear-gassed Andy Kim.”
I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. This is more of the same lawlessness we’ve seen elsewhere around the country. Our country deserves accountability. Our country deserves the humane treatment of every person here. In fact, our Constitution demands this. What I witnessed and experienced today was shameful. Delaney Hall is a failure; it’s this administration’s failure. The only way to make this right for our communities is to shut it down and make sure the failures we’ve seen never happen again.
