Amid the Trump administration’s military escalations against Venezuela,
one Florida Republican is salivating at the prospect of a full-scale military invasion,
arguing that a U.S. military invasion would be “very good news for the American economy.”
“Venezuela, for those Americans who do not understand why we need to go in, basically [it’s] for three reasons,”
said Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), speaking with Fox’s David Asman.
Those three reasons, Salazar exp…

Between February 12th and 15th, the U.S. sent 299 people—from countries such as Afghanistan, Cameroon, Somalia, and Iran—to Panama. On February 20th and 25th, the U.S. sent an additional 200 people, including 81 children, to Costa Rica. Soon afterward came third-country-deportation flights to Uzbekistan and El Salvador, where more than 250 non-Salvadoran immigrants were detained in the brutal Terrorism Confinement Center.

On Sunday night Bari Weiss,
the editor of The Free Press and the new head of CBS News,
abruptly stopped a forthcoming 60 Minutes report on the torture endured by migrants in the brutal El Salvadoran prison CECOT,
where the Trump administration has sent more than 280 men.
Trump supporters praised the decision from Weiss, who,
notwithstanding her description of conditions at CECOT as “horrific,”
had previously praised El Salvadoran leader Nayib Bukele for ma…

Probably the best thing I did this week was make the OpenAI anus / Atlass butt plug logo into a Goatse gag.
But then Microsoft comes along and outdoes me with this vitamin-yellow-tinted puddle of spunk and I am just… wow.
Well done, Microsoft.

Websites including YouTube and TikTok this week
removed posts of a CBS News
“60 Minutes” segment on a notorious prison in El Salvador,
where Trump the administration has been illegally deporting Venezuelan immigrants,
after being notified that publishing the clip violated parent company’s copyright.
The segment on the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT)
—which was intended to air on Sunday’s episode of “60 Minutes”
—was pulled by right-wing CBS News ed…

Bari Weiss gushed about the popularity of El Salvador’s president,
who describes himself as the “world’s coolest dictator,”
and how safe he’s made the Central American nation
– without noting he’s suspended basic civil liberties,
has been accused of making deals with gang leaders,
and has thrown thousands of innocent people in jail without giving them a fair trial.
Months later, on Sunday night, Weiss squashed a CBS News story on the treatment of immigran…
