I know that nights like tonight can feel frustrating — and they are, in fact, bad — but, I also do think that nights like this show us how many people are still striving to do good journalism with accountability at its core.
And how clear it is when there are efforts to stop that journalism.

It's the way Hitler did it. Lots of rallies....lots of applause, eventually (hoping wholeheartedly that this is not the case here) it works for them. 👹😱
once again: do they do these turning point events like every week now or something
JD Vance gets the biggest applause of his speech so far when he says "by the grace of God we always will be a Christian nation"

So boring............
You can be a nazi or the most boring man alive, or in JD's case, both
Vance: "President Trump did not built the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless, self-defeating purity tests ... we don't care if you're controversial or a little bit boring, people of every faith come to our banner."

She’s disgusting!
Brennan defended Trump’s J6er pardons because some of them might be “first-time offenders” or “small business owners,” as if running a car dealership absolves you from the consequences of participating in an insurrection.
Many people commenting on this are saying she's just following Bari Weiss's orders. Which, maybe, but also: Brennan has worked for CBS News since 2012 and has hosted "Face The Nation" since 2018. She's been like this the whole time, though she might be getting bolder now.

I'm still not used to CBS being state media
BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?
MASSIE: No. They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law. It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.

Squint real hard, and you might just see the “WTAF?!” word balloon that pops above Rep. Massie’s head right after Margaret Brennan finishes her question.

Will never watch her again, ever
Mifepristone is safe, the well-funded effort to persuade people otherwise is as antithetical to the factual record as “climate change is a hoax” — and if Brennan feels willing or obliged to bend the knee to her new corporate management, this seems like a telling sign of that.
really weird -- Margaret Brennen presses Bill Cassidy on why the White House isn't doing more to crack down on mifepristone and what he's doing to encourage them to do it

Now the real question: what are our representatives in Congress going to do about it?
Are they actually going to hold hearings, apply all punitive measures possible? Speak out loudly and often online, on the news, and everywhere else?
Where’s the leadership?

By the Epstein law directly, the only redactions allowed: A) victim identification and medical privacy data. B) Child abuse materials. C) Anything jeopardizing an active investigation. D) Snuff photos. E) National defense data. Each redaction requires a written justification – so where are those?

Everybody dunking on this like it isn’t important for the President to know the difference between a giraffe and a hippopotamus
Omg. “”The first question is like, ‘What is this?’ And they show a lion, a giraffe, a fish, and a hippopotamus. And they say, ‘Which is the giraffe?’” he recalled.”
