I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social:

The ACLU has posted 17 sworn declarations from people locked up at the Trump Adminstration's largest immigrant prison camp, at Fort Bliss in Texas.

In World War Two, the same site was called the "Fort Bliss Enemy Alien Detention Station."

The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

JD Vance is outright LYING when he says Democrats are giving health care to illegal immigrants in our funding bill. How do I know? Because I wrote it!

Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federal health care programs. But our bill DOES stop your premiums from doubling next year.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Decades of research have found that acetaminophen is safe for children when administered as recommended. Misleading claims link the medicine to autism. These false claims send a dangerous message to parents and does a disservice to autistic individuals. www.aap.org/en/news-room...

The President can’t tell the difference between a DM and a public post.

He thinks it’s ok to scold employees via Truth Social which is not a secure platform.

He evidently can’t spell lawyers and he’s deluded himself into believing he’s the victim.

Yet half the country normalizes this!
