Only thing left to say to CBS after reading that powerful Scott Pelley statement is…..with a little help from David Letterman:
"In the words of the great Edward Murrow, 'Good night and good luck, motherf*ckers!'"
ICE is denying me entry to Delaney Hall – raising serious questions about what is happening behind its walls.
Last night in Jersey City, I met with families whose loved ones are being detained there. What I heard only deepened my concerns.
Families shared heartbreaking reports of unsafe, inhumane, and unconstitutional conditions – detainees being denied access to proper medical care and medication, violence and intimidation, threats of losing phone and video access, visitation privileges being taken away, and deeply troubling accounts of detainees being pressured to sign deportation papers with no translation.
Every person deserves to be treated with dignity. Everyone is entitled to due process. And every family deserves the ability to see and advocate for their loved ones.
I will continue fighting for accountability, transparency, and better conditions at Delaney Hall. The detainees have requested to meet with me and I want to meet with them.
We will continue standing with these families, faith leaders, advocates, and peaceful protesters as we work toward the ultimate goal of closing Delaney Hall.
By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.
Arlington is the most sacred ground in America, where 400,000 of our fallen rest.
And Trump wants to build a 250-foot arch at its gates, taller than the Lincoln Memorial. Don’t take my word for who it’s for. When CBS asked him directly, Trump pointed at himself and said: “Me.”
That’s the whole story. Not the fallen. Not the country. Him.
Those buried at Arlington didn’t give their lives so one man could build a monument to himself at their gates. Congress must not allow it.
The American people deserve an end to this reckless and illegal war. Thank you to the House for having the courage to stand up for Americans in a bipartisan vote to stop this war. The Senate should follow.
Apparently, cleanse America of all gay people is beyond the pale for them.
Great start. Now let’s try: women should have the right to make their own healthcare choices.
Lieu: Instead of holding North Korea style cabinet meetings where everyone kisses Trump’s ass, I’m going to ask you to come clean—there is something wrong with Trump. There’s a reason he keeps going to the hospital and they keep giving him cognitive tests. We have not seen him in eight days.
Rubio: I assure this is not a president who sleeps or who is cognitively impaired in any way.
Lieu: I just showed you three videos of him sleeping.
WARNOCK: Do you still driving deeper into debt to extend billionaire tax cuts was a good investment?
BESSENT: During the Biden admin--
WARNOCK: Look, Joe Biden has been out of office for two years. The fact you keep talking about him tells you everything.
BLANCHE: The president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period
IVEY: What's the legal basis for that?
BLANCHE: The Constitution
IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery
Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”
Rep. Jacobs to Rubio: "It seems like you have an issue admitting facts. You can't say that the president lost the 2020 election…You won't admit that President Trump is losing this reckless war of choice…You couldn't admit that the shoes the president bought you were too big."
Pay attention.
Late last night the Trump-packed Supreme Court issued an UNSIGNED order to help Republicans erase Black voters and keep a congressional seat.
The Court's legitimacy is earned and they are burning it to the ground.
MAGA is rigging our democracy in real time!
🚨BREAKING: The Secretary of Homeland Security just admitted, on camera, that he is going to violate your First Amendment right to free speech.
He said, “I have ZERO tolerance. If you verbally assault our officers… we will find you, we will arrest you.”
Except… that’s not how the First Amendment works.
Unless someone is making a credible threat of violence, speech… even rude, angry, or insulting speech… is still protected.
That’s the whole point of a free speech clause… to protect the people from situations where those in power don’t like what’s being said.
So, when a top federal official starts framing “verbal assault” as something you can be arrested for, without clearly defining it as an actual threat…
It stops sounding like protecting officers, and starts sounding like a government trying to silence people who speak out against it.
