Cannot believe that I got to profile an extraordinary filmmaker, who happens to be the mother of NYC’s new mayor, and think about intersections of art and politics, and how familial love might produce a buffer against the corrosive politics and cynicism of our time. My story about Mira Nair:

I was hoping some political reporter might ask Rep. Tony Gonzales to finish the thought he started before being cut off on Face the Nation where he insisted it was okay to lock up 5 year old asylum seekers because otherwise it would harm 5 year old citizens. I want him to explain why.

This is an entirely appropriate line of questioning given Project 2025 and the Republican Party's emphasis on religion.

We all know there’s a database.
Asked about the Maine ICE agent who told a protester that her info would be entered into a "nice little database," Lyons said there is no such database.
"There is no database that’s tracking U.S. citizens."

Lyons repeatedly refuses to say if even a single ICE agent has been fired since Good and Pretti were fatally shot.
He also said he will not apologize to the family of Renee Good for Noem falsely accusing Good of being "a domestic terrorist," saying he won't comment while investigation underway.

Trump’s trying to end their asylum too, but a judge blocked the admin.
Thompson brings up Liam Ramos, the 5-year-old DHS agents nabbed in MN and shipped off to a Texas detention center.
A judge later ordered Ramos and his dad released, slamming DHS' "incompetently implemented” deportation campaign.
The Bible quote at the end of the judge's opinion: “Jesus wept.”

Calling out fascism is not threatening to anyone but fascists.
Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."
