🚨NEW: Federal Judge Leonie Brinkema has blocked Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” slush fund to pay January 6th insurrectionists.
RETWEET to thank Judge Brinkema for standing up for our democracy!
After watching Stephen Colbert take his final bow last night, I made a decision:
I will no longer be watching CBS.
What happened to The Late Show was not just about one comedian or one television program. It was about something much bigger: whether billionaires, corporate executives, and media institutions will stand up for free speech — or bend the knee when Donald Trump comes after voices that challenge him.
Bari Weiss. CBS. The Ellison-controlled corporate leadership. Every powerful institution that believes it can silence criticism, appease Trump, and still keep the trust of the American people needs to hear us clearly:
Enough is enough.
Donald Trump is not a king.
Corporate America does not get to surrender our democracy for access, approval, mergers, or profit.
And the American people do not have to reward cowardice with our money, our ratings, or our silence.
So I am using my voice. I am turning CBS off.
I encourage every American who believes in democracy, free speech, and accountability to do the same. Stop supporting corporations that normalize authoritarianism. Stop giving ratings to institutions that bend when they should stand.
This is how we fight back peacefully: with our voices, our choices, and our power as citizens.
We do not have a king. We have a Constitution. We have a voice. And it is time to use it.

BREAKING: Trump punishes Pope Leo for criticizing his Iran War by stripping $11 million from Catholic Charities in Florida that was supposed to help shelter and care for children who enter the country alone.
Trump is terrorizing kids in America while killing them overseas...
“The U.S. government has abruptly decided to end more than 60 years of relationship with Catholic Charities in the Archdiocese of Miami,” said Archbishop Thomas Wenski. “The Archdiocese of Miami’s services for unaccompanied minors have been recognized for their excellence and have served as a model for other agencies throughout the country.”
"Our track record in serving this vulnerable population is unmatched. Yet, the Archdiocese of Miami’s Catholic Charities’ services for unaccompanied minors has been stripped of funding and will be forced to shut down within three months," he added.
The Department of Homeland Security, through its Office of Refugee Resettlement, has paid Catholic Charities in Miami for years to help house children who enter the country without accompanying adults. The Miami Herald describes the program as essentially a "federally funded foster care system."
Bishop Wenski said that despite there being a recent decrease in unaccompanied minors “it is baffling that the U.S. government would shut down a program that it would be hard-pressed to replicate at the level of competence."
Robert Latham, associate director of the University of Miami Law School’s Children and Youth Law Clinic, said that the gutting of funding and possible need to move the children elsewhere could inflict serious damage on their developing psyches.
"It’s incredibly psychologically harmful to be moved,” he said. “For little kids, moving repeatedly creates bonding issues and destroys the sense of both self and community. They don’t know who they are and where they will be."
“This should only be done with a lot of emotional support that you normally would find within a family. Unfortunately, that is not there in a group home setting,” Latham added.
Of course, Donald Trump couldn't care less about the suffering of children. This man was friends with Jeffrey Epstein for years and been accused of sexual abuse himself. He started his Iran War by blowing up a school full of little girls and his administration has worked around the clock to strip funding from programs that feed, educate, and house children.
While the administration has not admitted that these funding cuts are payback against Pope Leo, the point A to point B is apparent. Trump is the most vindictive man to ever hold the presidency. He has been relentlessly attacking Leo for criticizing his Iran War. This is him using financial leverage in an effort to beat the Pope into submission. It will not work.
Please ❤️ and share to demand that the funding be doubled when Democrats take back control!
BREAKING: CNN boldly stands up to Trump and REFUSES to back down after he attacked their Iran ceasefire reporting as "FRAUD," demanded a retraction, and threatened an investigation.
This is journalistic integrity at its finest...
“The statement in question was obtained by CNN from Iranian officials and reported on multiple Iranian state media outlets. We received the statement from specific official Iranian spokespeople who are known to us," CNN posted on X in response to a post from corrupt FCC Chair Brendan Carr whining about their "fake news" reportng.
The reporting in question quoted Iranian officials as having described the ceasefire as a "great victory" for their nation and a "crushing defeat" for Trump that he agreed to in order to reopen the Straight of Hormuz. The Iranians also (correctly) described the war as "unfair, unlawful, and criminal."
Trump saw the coverage and promptly had a Truth Social meltdown—
"The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD, as CNN well knows," he wrote. "The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria) and, of course, immediately picked up by CNN, and blared out as a 'legitimate' headline. The Official Statement by Iran was just released, and posted on TRUTH, below."
"Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player?" he continued. "CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible 'reporting.' Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future."
"No one can believe that Fake News CNN put out a knowingly false and dangerous statement pretending it came from the upper levels of the Iranian Government. It didn’t!" he wrote in a followup post. "It was totally made up and posted, as a headline, for purpose of, perhaps, inflaming a very delicate situation. It was a new, trouble making site from Nigeria, and CNN just got caught cheating - A very dangerous thing to do!"
Unlike Trump, CNN is actually interested in the truth. They don't run reports on random, half-researched Nigerian clickbait articles. They have a robust verification process and network of sources that they use to assure their reporting is accurate.
The likeliest explanation here is that CNN struck a nerve while Trump was still trying to paint his ceasefire as some kind of win, when all he actually accomplished was opening a strait that was already open before he launched his war. It's also entirely possible that he's so lazy, so checked out of the negotiations, and so gripped by dementia that he didn't even realize what he'd agreed to.
In any case, we commend CNN for standing strong. Never cave to the fascist bully!
Please ❤️ and share to thank CNN!
BREAKING: FINALLY! United Nations experts reveal that Epstein's offenses were so evil that they could rise to the level of "crimes against humanity" and call for a full investigation despite Trump dismissing it all as a "hoax."
This is an absolute nightmare for MAGA...
“Any suggestion that it is time to move on from the ‘Epstein files’ is unacceptable. It represents a failure of responsibility towards victims,” said a group of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council. Their statement comes in the wake of the release of millions of Epstein files by the Trump administration — although many of them remain improperly unredacted or unreleased entirely.
“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” the experts wrote.
Not only that, but the UNHRC panel is demanding an investigation into Epstein and his co-conspirators within the transnational elite. They believe that he was part of a "global criminal enterprise." Even a cursory glance at the files released so far supports that assessment.
Jeffrey Epstein appears to have been running a vast sex trafficking network, providing children to powerful figures to abuse in return for access, money, and power. It also seems highly likely that he filmed much of that abuse to use for blackmail. Whether or not that blackmail material included Trump remains to be seen, but we know that he and the pedophile billionaire were close friends and that Trump is accused of sexual abuse and rape in the files.
"All the allegations contained in the ‘Epstein Files’ are egregious in nature and require independent, thorough, and impartial investigation, as well as inquiries to determine how such crimes could have taken place for so long,” the experts stated.
"The reluctance to fully disclose information or broaden investigations, has left many survivors feeling retraumatized and subjected to what they describe as ‘institutional gaslighting’," they added.
We cannot move on from the Epstein story until full transparency is obtained. Simply put, this is the most important political story in modern history. It has exposed the rot at the very heart of our civilization and revealed the existence of a cabal of wealthy rapists pulling the strings behind many major world events. We demand justice.

Mientras el mundo ardía con ébola, Cuba tomó una decisión que ninguna potencia occidental se atrevió a tomar. 🧵
No tenía petróleo. No tenía intereses geopolíticos en África. No tenía nada que ganar.
Solo tenía médicos. Y la convicción de que una vida humana vale más que cualquier burocracia.
La brigada Henry Reeve llegó a Sierra Leona cuando Estados Unidos todavía estaba "evaluando protocolos". Cuando Europa chequeaba permisos. Cuando el mundo miraba desde lejos.
Cuba ya estaba adentro, con estetoscopios y maletines, salvando vidas.
¿Amenaza para alguien? El país bloqueado económicamente por décadas demostró más humanidad que todos sus bloqueadores juntos.
Esto no es propaganda. Son hechos documentados que los grandes medios prefieren no contarte. 👇

BREAKING: Star anchor Anderson Cooper QUITS “60 Minutes” as CBS’s new pro-Trump agenda takes hold.
When one of the most respected journalists in America decides he’s had enough, you’d better believe something is rotten behind the scenes.
After nearly two decades of working for both CNN and CBS News' “60 Minutes,” Anderson Cooper is reportedly walking away from his side gig — declining to renew his contract and exiting before the fall season. And it just so happens this shakeup comes as CBS News’ new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, has turned the legendary newsmagazine into a lightning rod for controversy.
Coincidence? Please.
Cooper, who’s been with 60 Minutes since the 2006–2007 season and racked up multiple Emmy wins along the way, will finish out the current season. But sources say he told CBS weeks ago he wanted out. Officially, he’s focusing on CNN and family time. Unofficially? The timing speaks volumes.
Since Weiss’s takeover, 60 Minutes has been mired in MAGA-adjacent drama. In December, she spiked a report on CECOT — the notorious El Salvador prison where the Trump administration sent migrants without due process. The piece had already been promoted by CBS before Weiss yanked it at the last minute. She later claimed it “wasn’t ready.”
Sure.
Then came reports that a Cooper segment scrutinizing Trump’s decision to accept white South African refugees was subjected to “abnormal” levels of editorial scrutiny. Veteran producers were reportedly “exasperated” by the edits.
This isn’t subtle.
For decades, 60 Minutes has been a gold standard of hard-hitting journalism. Now, under leadership widely described as “MAGA-coded,” stories critical of Trump are suddenly getting spiked, sliced, or slow-walked.
And one of its biggest stars is heading for the door.
Cooper’s departure marks the first major on-air exit since Weiss took control. That’s not just a personnel change — it’s a flashing red warning light.
When award-winning journalists with long histories at a network start leaving just as political interference accusations swirl, Americans should pay attention.
If CBS wants to reassure viewers that 60 Minutes remains independent and fearless, losing Anderson Cooper is one strange way to show it.

BREAKING: Congressman Jamie Raskin shocks MAGA world by conducting a surprise oversight visit to an ICE facility — and what he discovered there is absolutely shocking.
This is the last thing in the world that Trump needs right now...
"I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore," Raskin wrote on X. "The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful."
"Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities," he recounted. "They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there."
"The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action," Raskin concluded.
This report should horrify every American with a conscience. Donald Trump and his fascist lackeys are transforming our country into an unrecognizable nightmare dystopia with each passing day. This kind of mass dehumanization is how historical atrocities begin and this administration's willingness to act with such cruelty stems from the fact that they simply do not view these nonwhite migrants as people.
The last part of Raskin's post is particularly telling. Trump's entire immigration narrative is built around the lie that he's targeting violent criminals to keep Americans safe, that all of his state-sanctioned brutality is justified because in the end we'll all be safer. In reality, the rooms built for violent offenders stand empty while innocent families are forced into cages. This has always been about seizing more power for Trump and pandering to his racist base.
There can no longer be any arguing on the matter. Between this new horror and the killings in Minnesota under her leadership, Kristi Noem has revealed herself to be a profound threat to American democracy. She must be impeached and fully investigated.

YO SOY DE CUBA 🇨🇺 Lo voy a decir así de claro. Hoy veo que el mundo entero se está movilizando por esta pequeña isla y se me parte el alma. Es una cosa impresionante. Están preparándose ayudas y manifestaciones en todas partes, incluso en EEUU. Pero no solo eso. AHORA MISMO hay gente dispuesta a DAR SU VIDA en una Flotilla para romper el cerco y traer ayuda frente a la mismísima armada de los yanquis desplegada en el Caribe.
¿ENTIENDEN ESO?
Arriesgar sus vidas por nosotros.
Aquí en Cuba, los que vivimos las penurias cotidianas no vamos a bajar la cabeza. Sépanlo amigos. ESTAREMOS A LA ALTURA, porque en casi todos los países hoy Cuba representa la esperanza y ustedes van a luchar, no por nosotros, sino CON NOSOTROS. ¿A qué me refiero con esto? Que nosotros debemos resistir esta nueva fase de guerra, sostener la paz y UNIRNOS como siempre hemos hecho para que el mundo se inspire en nuestra lucha.
Estamos viviendo situaciones muy duras y hay gente pasándola muy mal. ¡Se imaginarán! Pero sepan que la conciencia está más activa y en la calle la gente sabe quienes son los HdP que nos están bloqueando hasta matarn•s. No será la cobardía hoy lo que nos arrope. Nos llenamos de valor y de fe en Dios, en el cubano que tenemos al lado y en la victoria que conseguiremos JUNTOS.
Solo espero, como cubano, como joven, como patriota de este suelo, que sepamos estar a la altura de este momento histórico y lo digo por mí, por ti, por todo el que nos apoya y por quien me está leyendo: hay que ponerse las pilas, organizarnos, construir nuestra propia agenda de trabajo y de intercambio, NO SEGUIR LA AGENDA DEL ENEMIGO, enfrentarnos a lo que está mal –ahora mucho más– desde el compromiso personal por mejorarlo, TENER PRESENCIA en las calles y en las redes, leer e informarnos, escuchar una vez más alguna canción de Silvio, practicar acciones de empatía y apoyos vecinales cada día, sostenernos colectivamente y aguantar los embates, ponernos creativos y promover una acción política superadora (y esto también lo digo para los dirigentes del país).
Es el momento de demostrar de qué estamos hechos: cero división, cero traición, cero entreguismo, cero apatía. Recordemos que nadie está solo y que Cuba va siempre acompañada.
FUERZA PATRIA MÍA 🇨🇺
NO DEJAREMOS MORIR A FIDEL EN EL AÑO DE SU CENTENARIO
Nadie, ningún país, tiene derecho a tratar de matar de hambre a la población de otro país.
No hay derecho, no hay justificación moral, no hay razones de "seguridad nacional" que justifiquen esa barbarie.
Estados Unidos no puede seguir intentando asesinar a la población de Cuba.
