in gaza. what was the evidence behind israel s claims that hamas was in the building. we have new information and we re going to take you inside of the meeting between the a.p. and the israeli ambassador to the u.s. with reps from both sides coming up. plus propublica bombshell about the taxes of american billionaires, but what about the course of the information. we re going to get into the ethic debate with a top editor from propublica, coming up. but first gagging the news media. there is a big meeting coming you on monday at the justice department and it effects all of us because it is about the first amendment. for several weeks we ve learned how the trump era doj spied on the press and pursued leakers to do so. first we learned about the secret seizing of phone records from reporters and then the gag orders against the new york times and cnn. and now there are still so many questions out there. recenttories have also shown how democrats on capitol hill were also t

Countries that really care about human rights. Just like facebook really cares about free speech for americans or presidents. Their decision? boring and predictable. But sinister and effective. If the left believes one thing it s this: banning works. Censorship works. But don t take my word for it.
