To understand why 29-year incumbent Rep Diana DeGette (D) was vulnerable to a primary challenge, consider that her key campaign messages are negatives about her opponent and a pitch that she can deliver on her priorities if she only she gets a 16th term in Congress coloradosun.com/2026/06/26/m...

Melat Kiros may be on the verge of unseating Diana DeGette. Here’s how that came to be.

Kiros has tapped into the national discontent for incumbents among Democratic voters and parlayed her social media savviness into a campaign that has DeGette’s supporters incredibly nervous

Not even a criticism of Becerra in particular, but in general, the total collapse of ambition in American politics remains one of the bleakest ongoing trends. It's just a competition between gangsterism and pensionary politics. Nobody believes in the future anymore.

President Trump threatens to sue Trevor Noah

The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable!
CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer. The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards. Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island.
WRONG!!! I can't speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight's false and defamatory, statement, have never been accused being there, not even by the Fake News Media. Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like I'll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus, and others, how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I'm going to have some fun with you! President DJT

BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.

1. 1 am a 29-year-old resident of the
lin Minneapolis,
Minnesota. I have lived in Minneapolis since 2024, when I moved to the
city to begin my medical residency. I am a licensed pediatrician, and I have
been practicing pediatric medicine in the city since I moved here.
2. On January 24, 2026, at approximately 9:00 am CST, I was awoken by the sound of cars honking and whistles blowing. Shortly after I awoke, I heard
screaming from outside my window. I
saw several
ICE agents and civilians yelling at each other.
3. One civilian was standing in front of a parked car on the side of the road.
I saw him yelling at the ICE agents, but I did not see him attack the agents
or brandish a weapon of any kind
4. Suddenly, an ICE agent shoved him to the ground. My view of the altercation was partially obstructed, but after a few seconds, I saw at least
four ICE agents point guns at the man. I then saw the agents shoot the man
at least six or seven times.
5. Initially, I was stunned. From what I could see from my apartment, there was absolutely no need for any violence, let alone lethal force by multiple officers. I immediately put on my boots and coat, ran outside, and
approached ICE agents who were near the victim.

6. The scene was chaotic. Many civilians were screaming and honking. Over the noise, I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim.
7. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. They repeatedly asked me for my physician's license, which I obviously didn't have. But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, and I could tell that the victim was in critical condition. I insisted that the agents let me
assess him. Normally, I would not have been so persistent, but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him.
8. Finally, one agent agreed to let me assess the victim. He patted me down
to "make sure I didn't have a weapon" and then let me approach the victim.
9. As I approached, I saw that the victim was lying on his side and was
surrounded by several ICE agents. I was confused as to why the victim was
on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been
shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice.
Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds.
10.1 asked the ICE agents if the victim had a pulse, and they said they did not know. I then asked the agents to make space so I could assess the victim.

11. The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back. I asked the ICE agents to turn the victim from his side to his back. From that position, I saw an additional gunshot wound on the victim's upper left chest and
another possible gunshot wound on his neck.
12. I checked for a pulse, but I did not feel one. I immediately began CPR.
Shortly after I started compressions, EMS personnel arrived and took over.
13.1 remained at the scene for about five more minutes, but protesters began to gather and the situation seemed to be escalating, so I left and returned
to my apartment.
14. When I returned to my apartment, I was extremely distraught. I was
sobbing and shaking uncontrollably. Eventually, I called my sister, who
lives in a nearby suburb. I called her for comfort and because I did not feel
safe in my apartment; I wanted to see if I could stay with her for the day
and maybe even a few days.
15.1 also sought advice from a friend who works for the City of Minneapolis.
He recommended that I shelter in place because the situation outside my
apartment was so dangerous. I was going to follow his advice, but then
ICE agents deployed tear gas on the crowd that had gathered below, and
the tear gas began seeping into my apartment.

The statements to 911 operators the night Geraldo Lunas Campos died appear to conflict with autopsy’s later finding of ‘homicide.’

The safest thing for any American civilian to do at this point is to assume that every ICE or CBP agent you encounter is a pardoned violent January 6 insurrectionist with demonstrated homicidal urges toward those they disagree with politically and choose your actions accordingly.

One thing that really stands out about this week's California storms is the highly unusual risk of severe thunderstorms, both overnight Tue Wed and then again late Wed into Thu. Multiple low-topped supercells may generate very strong wind gusts and even a few tornadoes. #CAwx

Screenshot of afternoon forecast discussion from National Weather Service in the SF Bay Area. The text begins: "The biggest threat late Wednesday through Friday will be the
potential for severe weather, including the risk of weak tornadoes
and waterspouts. The SPC has issued a marginal risk of severe
thunderstorms and a 2% chance of tornadoes/waterspouts along our
entire coastline. The highest risk for a weak tornado/waterspouts
will be from embedded thunderstorms within the main rain band as the
cold front passes through our CWA. That being said, guidance shows
the potential for isolated cells to develop in the wake of cold
frontal passage which also display potential for severe thunderstorm
development and rotation. This system looks even more favorable than
the first system with much more instability (higher MUCAPE values
over a much larger area) and continued strong low level shear
between 30 to 45 knots. A marginal risk of severe thunderstorms
continues for the Big Sur coastline..

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

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.
Sharyn
