Trump’s executive order to defund NPR & PBS is a gift to billionaires and a slap in the face to the rest of us.
He’d rather silence journalists than confront corporate greed.
We deserve leaders who work for the people, not silence them.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Pam Bondi is a liar, propagandist and criminal accomplice. Kilmar Abrego Garcia never received a court hearing and due process. Pam Bondi is an eternal stain on the Justice Department and justice itself.
REPORTER: Why not show the public the evidence?
BONDI: Well, he is an illegal alien who has been living illegally in our country from El Salvador ... He is not coming back to our country
R: But the evidence. We're not gonna see the evidence?
BONDI: We have the transcripts from the court hearings

This administration is getting bolder in its defiance of the Courts and we should all be alarmed.
From refusing to return a mistakenly deported man to denying freedom of the press, their dangerous ignorance of checks and balances threatens our nation's very foundation.

They have installed the wealthiest man in the world to dismantle the country for himself and his fellow oligarchs. They plan to burn the country down to pay rock-bottom prices for the ashes.

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law.
Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come.
Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.
