'Straight out of the Twilight Zone': Congressman shocked at ICE facility 'cover-up'

from The Briefing with Jen Psaki · host Senator Chris Murphy, Dr. Tom Frieden, Jen Psaki, Rep. Jimmy Gomez

Donald Trump cements his dictator identity by rewriting U.S. history to his liking, tampering with museum exhibits, and deploying the U.S. military against Americans in the name of crime fighting. Democratic members of Congress try to hold ICE accountable for terrible conditions at its internment prisons, but HHS is getting better at hiding its tracks and its abuses. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s deranged ideas about vaccines are not only hurting the preparedness of the United States to address new diseases, but are making MAGA followers hostile to a scientific community that is only dedicated to helping people. And Ivanka Trump is organizing a cage fight at the White House for the nation's 250th anniversary.  To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.
