The newly appointed Greenland special envoy, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, has sparked controversy by expressing his intention to “make Greenland a part of the U.S.,” reigniting tensions with Denmark. This move comes as the U.S. eyes Greenland’s strategic importance, particularly its mineral resources and the Pituffik Space Base, along with the growing significance of the Arctic region due to climate change. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has firmly rejected the proposition, emphasizing that Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders, and several international figures have spoken out in support of Danish and Greenlandic sovereignty. This announcement follows President Trump’s previous attempts to acquire the island, raising concerns about U.S. intentions and the potential impact on international relations.

Recent polling indicates a significant decline in U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s approval rating, plummeting 47 points in just ten months. The most recent survey, conducted shortly before the release of heavily redacted files associated with Jeffrey Epstein, revealed a record low approval rating for Bondi. This drop in popularity may reflect public dissatisfaction with the partial release of the Epstein files, as Democrats have called for the impeachment of DOJ officials, including Bondi. The continued decline in Bondi’s approval rating could potentially impact public confidence in the Trump administration.

Senate GOP grows uneasy as Pentagon’s Kelly investigation escalates.
The escalating Pentagon investigation into Senator Mark Kelly is clearly causing discomfort within the Senate GOP. This reaction seems to stem from a complex mix of concerns, including the potential for political fallout and the perceived overreach of the investigation itself. It’s almost as if the Republicans are only now realizing the precedent being set by such actions, especially when it targets one of their own.
Many Republicans are now questioning the wisdom of the investigation, particularly given the circumstances. Senator Rand Paul’s statement that it’s a “terrible idea” encapsulates the sentiments of a growing number of GOP members.… Continue reading
A controversial “60 Minutes” segment on the El Salvador megaprison CECOT, which housed immigrants deported by the Trump administration, was abruptly pulled from the broadcast. An email from correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi alleges that the new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, made the decision, calling it a political move. The story had already passed legal and editorial checks and was ready to air, but Weiss reportedly cited a need for additional reporting, specifically an interview with Stephen Miller. The cancellation has sparked accusations of corporate censorship and a betrayal of journalistic principles, especially since the story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices.

Following the acquittal of a Los Angeles tow truck driver charged with stealing an ICE vehicle, Stephen Miller condemned the verdict as “blatant jury nullification.” The driver, Bobby Nuñez, was found not guilty after being accused of theft of government property, despite being arrested after towing the vehicle during an immigration raid. This acquittal, along with others related to immigration cases, highlights the Justice Department’s struggles in proving intent or serious harm in such prosecutions, a point underscored by legal experts. This trend of acquittals and reduced charges in cases against anti-ICE protesters contrasts with the government’s aggressive approach to prosecuting those interfering with immigration enforcement, as demonstrated by the U.S. Attorney’s earlier, boastful statements about the Nuñez case.

CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss pulled a planned “60 Minutes” investigative segment on allegations of abuse at an El Salvador detention center, citing the need for an on-the-record comment from an administration official. The story’s correspondent, Sharyn Alfonsi, condemned the decision, believing it was politically motivated and not an editorial one. Weiss defended her decision, stating the story didn’t “advance the ball” beyond what other news outlets had already reported. This occurred shortly after Weiss’s arrival at the network, which has drawn scrutiny due to her background and the network’s shift towards more conservative viewpoints.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has faced backlash for allegedly removing photos of Trump from the files, although the Deputy Attorney General denied the allegation.

A scheduled 60 Minutes segment investigating the CECOT megaprison in El Salvador, which houses deportees, was abruptly pulled from the broadcast lineup. According to a CBS News spokesperson, the episode required additional reporting, while sources claim it had already been thoroughly vetted.

The episode’s investigation found that many of the deported men had no criminal record. This cancellation follows comments from Trump regarding the new CBS ownership, as well as a history of conflict between Trump and the news program.
