Under what circumstances is the CARE team actually permitted to respond? It seems to have gotten very narrow.

Pete Hegseth walking up some stairs to board a plane. He's wearing a mid-blue suit, tan dress shoes, and navy socks with small USA flags on them. The suit is slightly too small, the pants slim, and the inseam is a bit too short.

This is disgusting, CNN. Schools & districts are providing Know Your Rights guidance - the responsible thing to do if you want to keep families safe. Why are you making it sound like she did something wrong. She didn’t. ICE thugs killed her while she was trying to protect her community.

My rep, Jayapal, would never be on the list and was on local news tonight calling this a murder.

On the list:
Perez is not a surprise
Schrier is the surprise

Absolutely. Arrest the ICE agent immediately, demand the resignations of Miller and Noem, and stop these lawless murdering thugs terrorizing our communities. #AbolishICE

it’s a special type of journalism innovation to get millions of people to watch a TV segment except it’s not on your network and you get no advertising dollars and everyone thinks you’re a joke.

saw someone suggest I should add commentary, and this isn't what was meant, but my commentary is I believe the video depicts major laws being broken by the US federal government and that their attempt to bury the TV segment in favor of a government approved edit reveals awareness of their wrongdoing

News Team,
Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier.
I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity.
Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.
We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed
to kill the story.
If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we

have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient.
If the standard for airing a story becomes
"the government must agree to be
interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast.
We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state.
These men risked their lives to speak with us.
We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their
stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.
CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.

We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it.
When it fails to air without a credible
explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet.
I care too much about this broadcast to watch
it be dismantled without a fight.

I just read the new SPINAL TAP book and there’s a moment where Rob Reiner and the rest of the cast ask each other which projects will lead their obituary. Rob was sure β€œMeathead” was going to be the first line of his.

Tonight, everyone’s teeing off with β€œone of the greatest directing runs ever”
