Tony Dokoupil gets steamrolled in an interview with Donald Trump as his “CBS Evening News” grapples with poor ratings, suggesting Bari Weiss’ MAGA-ification of the network might be backfiring.

Then, Joe Rogan breaks with Trump over ICE, comparing the agency to “the Gestapo,” while Laura Ingraham goes another route and works to convince Fox News viewers that an “insurgency” is unfolding in Minnesota.

Finally, FBI agents carry out an alarming raid on the home of a Washington Post journalist — and Jeff Bezos says absolutely nothing in defense of his newsroom, angering staffers.
