ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

I accomplished finding out I’m going to be a grandmother. Actually, obviously not my accomplishment. Mine is actually figuring out how to slip that news into any conversation no matter how irrelevant.

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."

One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

Trump's VA just banned abortion care for veterans—even in cases of rape, incest, or threats to health.

This is cruel, and dangerous.
