The new editor of CBS News thinks that Alan Dershowitz and Dana Loesch debating the 2nd Amendment is “news.”
So, pour one out tonight for the actual journalists at CBS who have to listen to this drivel in the am news meeting
(She also says Dersh is “charismatic,” but that’s the lesser horror)

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
