If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

Yes! Tax cuts don’t create jobs. Increased consumer spending creates jobs.
And raising the minimum wage means people actually have the disposable income to spend in their own communities and create local, good paying jobs.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

This cannot stand. Shut down the camps NOW. Hold them accountable.
This is a human rights violation.
Multiple detainees described a disturbing incident where dozens of men were forced to eat food they had been denied all day while shackled.
“We had to bend over and eat off the chairs with our mouths, like dogs,” — from a new Human Rights Watch report.

People in ICE concentration camps are forced to kneel to eat food off plates “like dogs”, held on unsanitary buses in parking lots for more than 24 hours, crammed for weeks in freezing intake rooms where they sleep on the floor, and denied adequate medical care.
