so the two notable programming moves bari weiss has made at CBS are... airing an interview nobody watched and not airing a 60 Minutes segment that everybody watched. it's like she's satirizing herself

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Chomsky, the University of Arizona and Epstein. My colleague @preranawrites.bsky.social has written one of the best pieces to date on this relationship. It starts with Grijalva's call for a review, but goes much deeper than that. tucson.com/news/local/s...

Sounds like they're trying to Bari the story.

Bari Weiss to the rescue, sounds like.

Column: For decades, Tucson has been an economic laggard, and it's been even worse the last two years, as the metro area lost jobs. The city council isn't helping as it spares sacred cows and raises taxes to fill a budget shortfall. tucson.com/news/local/s...

I can’t imagine JD Vance winning the presidency. Might be wrong, but his appeal seems incredibly niche. He’s loved by terminally online tradbros and tradwives, plus Peter Thiel. Who else?

Pennsylvania Supreme Court rules that the police don’t need a search warrant to request your Google search records because “it is common knowledge that websites, internet-based applications, and internet service providers collect, and then sell, user data.” 🤦🏾‍♂️

I guess it's still snowing

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.   ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

It has become conventional wisdom on the political right that Adelita Grijalva lied about being hit in the face by pepper spray during a protest of an immigration operation Dec. 5. Intern Sierra Blaser pieced together the best video evidence available. It's pretty clear. tucson.com/instagram/ar...

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Peter Arnett, who traveled the world covering wars from Vietnam to Iraq, has died.

Column: A customer accosted a man stealing cigarettes at a Tucson Circle K, and the shoplifter died in the aftermath. The case reflects a growing temptation to intervene as Tucsonans become frustrated by brazen crime and the lack of police response. tucson.com/news/local/s...

I honestly expected more from a FIFA Peace Prize recipient

Higher tax rates on utility ratepayers and businesses were approved Tuesday night by the Tucson City Council in an attempt to address a city budget shortfall.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that the Pentagon will not publicly release unedited video of a strike that killed two survivors of an initial attack on a boat allegedly carrying cocaine in the Caribbean. https://to.pbs.org/4pZJb8p

"Tariffs are 'national security!'" "The ballroom is 'national security!'" "Suing the BBC is 'national security!'" "Slaughtering Venezuelan fishermen is 'national security!'" "Torturing day laborers is 'national security!'" NONE of this is "national security" but it is Naziism 101.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

He's just lost it. Now saying Rob and Michele Reiner caused their own murder because they didn't support him. So sick.

How long till Trump decries the raids and defends the Unification Church?

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs

When Abrego Garcia was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March, his case became a rallying point for those who oppose President Trump's immigration crackdown.

Column: The targeted raids at Taco Giro restaurants in Tucson weren't the typical ICE sweeps that have caused protests elsewhere. Protests popped up anyway, leading to Rep. Grijalva being hit with pepper spray, and a GOP effort to deny it happened. This is the beginning. tucson.com/news/local/s...

there is no available evidence that donald trump understands what a tariff is, what a trade deficit is, and what the national debt is.

New: A CBP agent in Charlotte wore Meta Ray Bans to an immigration raid and used it to record, based on photos shared with 404 Media. We've seen them wearing these glasses before but this is the first specific evidence we have of them recording www.404media.co/border-patro...

Column: Gentrification, eh? The city of Tucson has been trying to build affordable housing on its city-owned lots. But some of the same people trying to fight gentrification and unaffordability also are fighting affordable housing in their neighborhoods. tucson.com/news/local/s...

Arizona health department says it's far too risky to stop automatically immunizing newborns, despite a CDC panel's new recommendation.

I cannot imagine the level of moral bankruptcy to describe the actions of people whose boat has just been hit by a missile from nowhere (this was the FIRST such strike) and who were most likely making a desperate attempt not to drown in the ocean as trying to "stay in the fight."

I recently really became conscious of those moments when I use words like "clearly" or "undoubtedly." It finally became clear to me that when I use those words, it's because things aren't clear, or there is doubt, and those words are trying (and failing) to cover it up.

Column: You may have heard of a looming Sixth Mass Extinction -- a 75% loss of global species caused by global warming and habitat loss. Two University of Arizona researchers argue in recent papers that this threat is exaggerated, and preventing it is aiming too low. tucson.com/news/local/s...

The pardon of Juan Orlando Hernandez is clarifying: Trump does not care about drugs. I argued in Sunday's column that the missile strikes on drug boats were due to political concerns not drug policy. The pardon of a Trump-allied ex-president/trafficker proves it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

Whiskey Pete just double-tapped Admiral Bradley.

I guess it's unsurprising that mediocre men find each other extraordinary, especially when they're behaving selfishly and pretending it's for the good of society.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Column: Accused smugglers are getting the usual treatment at the Arizona-Mexico border -- arrest and trial -- although some are carrying the fentanyl that has the USA so addicted. Missile strikes, it turns out, are for enemy countries, not enemy drugs. tucson.com/news/local/s...

Column: The city of Tempe was right to react cautiously to a Tucson woman's Facebook post, which they took as a threat. But it wasn't one. Then they took advantage of the misunderstanding to investigate their online critics and even arrest the Tucson woman. tucson.com/news/local/s...

Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

Column: The video by Sen. Mark Kelly, the Tucson Democrat, and five other Congress members indirectly raised a key issue -- accountability after Trump. With the president's power waning, no one, not even ICE agents, can be assured he will be able to protect them. tucson.com/news/local/s...
