Sharyn Alfonsi, an Emmy award winning investigative reporter at CBS News program 60 Minutes, slams Chief Editor Bari Weiss and the CBS news channel in a staff email, for cancelling a report hours before airtime. The report covered conditions at CECOT, a facility where the US has sent deportees.

Bari Weiss speaks about wanting to have "contentious disagreements" on news stories But Sharyn Alfonsi said that when she found out Weiss was killing the 60 Minutes story about CECOT, Weiss refused to discuss it That's not honest journalism It's catering to a political agenda The MAGA agenda

This isn’t a “peace plan.” It’s a blueprint for Ukraine’s capitulation. If implemented, it would turn this pro-Western, democratic nation, which has been courageously resisting Russian aggression since 2014, into a Kremlin colony. wapo.st/3XcRot6

"It’s too easy to say, Nothing matters, LOL, Supreme Court. But it matters a lot to have a judge say that the DHS officers themselves incited violence. They created violence and then they answered it with their own violence. And I think that is the moral of the story." @dahlialithwick.bsky.social

Most of Trump’s deportation campaign is inaccessible because after arrests are made, it is moving quickly, far from public view.
