New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources.

Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.

Nobody has proven themselves to be as pathetic as their critics claim as Tim Walz. Turns out you can just bully him into not running for re-election by spreading medieval antisemitic canards about a minority group in his state, then shoot a constituent in the face and he’ll do nothing.
"Don't give them what they want" + "Let's start healing" really sounds like a complete surrender. Fuck man

The Republican Congress has chosen to give away its authority and power and now we are being told Trump plans to occupy Venezuela. We don't cry for Maduro. We demand the following of our laws and Constitution. He is already threatening Mexico and Cuba will be next. Ann Wagner is silent.

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves

Absolutely critical that we move away from corporately owned news and media. 🚨

It will only get worse from here, and we should not participate.
