Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

When I was a kid ducking under my desk during the Cuban Missile Crisis, I did not imagine that all Russia would need to “win” the Cold War was one stooge who would sell us out from within.

If House Republicans really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.

When I said that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. being DHHS Secretary would kill people, you all understood that I was being literal, right?
To underscore: Kennedy Jr. will actually kill people. Mostly children. And only a contemptible monster like Trump would position him to do that and think nothing of it.
