Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me.

Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

No only CBS news, also their major advertisers. No leniency. If the advertisers are not publicly dropping CBS first thing Monday morning, they are on the boycott list. And it starts with @bankofamerica.bsky.social

Congratulations to the people of Chandler, AZ, who — despite a fierce lobbying campaign — defeated a massive AI data center that would have raised utility bills and drained scarce water.

Oligarchs want working Americans to foot the bill while they profit. Not gonna happen!

so, this right here? this is one of the absolutely most lawless, brazenly unconstitutional impeachable offenses ever committed by any president other than trump in the history of our country.

like, this is an open and shut case. and it's a case which targeted *republicans.*
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

Aaron Rupar is proof that some of the best journalists *are* stenographers. The simple act of recording and publishing the words that they themselves utter - especially when they are as risible as Noem's - is profoundly important.

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

I was waiting for this…Don’t fall for it. It’s a tactic….It’s just a matter of time until the Orange thing starts writing Americans a check signed by his sharpie. The Orange thing wants you to believe he’s their lord and savior and then they’ll vote MAGA Republican again. Don’t fall for it!!

Network media and big papers caping for and capitulating to this administration has so much to do with their deep-held belief that all Americans are fucking stupid. They're siding with the guy who says "Gas is $2 and groceries are cheap" as if we're not paying for gas and groceries

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.

Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.

No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.
