Breitbart News Leads The Charge Against GOP Health Care Bill
HP | Michael Calderone | 03/14/17

The pro-Trump site is directing its fire at House Speaker Paul Ryan, not the president.

... On the recording from a private conference call in October, Ryan is heard telling House Republicans that he couldn't defend then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump at that moment or "in the future." His comments came amid a scandal over the now-president bragging on tape about groping women.

The never-before-heard recording didn't come to light through a liberal or mainstream news site. Rather, the right-wing, nationalist Breitbart News published it Monday night. ... Read more

This Is What Trump's Deportation Campaign Really Looks Like
MotherJones | Brandon Ellington Patterson | 03/14/17

A woman hospitalized with a brain tumor, a dad dropping his daughter at school, and more.

Since February, dozens of deportation raids have been carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents as Donald Trump has kicked his immigration crackdown into high gear. Immigrants--many of whom have lived and worked in the country for decades--have been arrested at home, at work, and at routine check-ins with ICE officials. Some arrests have sparked protests, while others have gone relatively unnoticed.

This is what one such arrest looked like:
There are several places that immigration officials consider sensitive--schools, churches, hospitals, and ceremonies like funerals and weddings--where they typically refrain from conducting enforcement actions. In the case of Sara Beltrán Hernández, ICE agents skirted this informal policy in late February by arresting her in the Texas hospital where she was receiving treatment for a brain tumor. Beltrán Hernández was transferred to a detention facility in Alvardo, Texas, where she had previously been held after spending 16 months while waiting for a judge to rule on her asylum request. Beltrán Hernández claimed she had fled El Salvador in late 2015 to escape domestic abuse and the gang violence that has devastated the country. ... Read more

'People are scared': Paranoia seizes Trump's White House
Politico | Alex Isenstadt | 03/15/17

Staffers are leaving their phones at home, using secret apps and monitoring each other's social media.

A culture of paranoia is consuming the Trump administration, with staffers increasingly preoccupied with perceived enemies -- inside their own government.

In interviews, nearly a dozen White House aides and federal agency staffers described a litany of suspicions: that rival factions in the administration are trying to embarrass them, that civil servants opposed to President Donald Trump are trying to undermine him, and even that a "deep state" of career military and intelligence officials is out to destroy them.

Aides are going to great lengths to protect themselves. They're turning off work-issued smartphones and putting them in drawers when they arrive home from work out of fear that they could be used to eavesdrop. They're staying mum in meetings out of concern that their comments could be leaked to the press by foes. ... Read more
