If you wonder why men *obsessed* with the United States having more children are kidnapping children and sending them to other countries, those children were the incorrect color.

Quite something.
And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

a maximalist strategy of opposition against every nominee as unqualified would have stood a better chance of creating the kind of public outrage that might have led to more republican defections, but i'm sure the imaginary family that chuck schumer relies on to guide his decisions disagreed
Schumer's strategy of allowing/encouraging Dems to vote for the "normal" nominees in order to try and peel off Republican defections to block Hegseth/RFK/Gabbard appears to have completely failed.
It appears there is little to no resistance from Senate Republicans to the nomination of RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary

No more business as usual. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are imposing pain on millions of people.
Tonight, we’re taking this fight to the Senate floor.
Russ Vought - author of Project 2025 - is up for a vote, and Democrats are using every second to throw a wrench in their plan.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual.

Fascinating, and horrifying. Will they simply erase history or eventually replace it with something revised/rewritten?

This stuff is a disaster. It is now impossible to avoid, and is so antithetical to how writing works that we're threatening to make writing meaningless. I discuss this bad path in my forthcoming book. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/john-...

My father got to have Richard Nixon as an enemy. A shithead, but a figure that could be dissected and maybe understood in his own way. We all get failed influencer rich kids who are mad they can't say slurs. God, just give me an interesting enemy.
