Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST.
Today we discuss:
• New Quinnipiac poll: 61% think Trump lied about the shooting of Alex Pretti and 25% believe the Trump administration. Democrats (93%) and independents (65%) say Trump lied, while Republicans (60%) say he was honest. 80% think there should be an independent investigation. 78% have seen the video. Meanwhile, 65% say ICE has "gone too far," according to the NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.
• In October 2024, a Rikers Island social worker came forward with a bombshell accusation: officers were routinely isolating severely mentally ill men in their cells for weeks and even months, a process known as “deadlocking.” The Department of Investigation (DOI), announced an inquiry. More than 450 days have since passed, and nothing has happened.
• Jeff Bezos axes a total of 2000 out of 2500 jobs in 2.5 years. Is The Washington Post entering a death spiral? Can it be replaced?
