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.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.
One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

Senate Republicans would rather you didn’t find out they just voted to give the biggest banks billions in profits from overdraft fees that kick working people when they’re down. Disgraceful.
Meanwhile, every Senate Democrat voted against it.

My 91 year old father was watching the live stream of AOC and Bernie Sanders on Fox News. He reached over and picked up his dictionary and looked up oligarchy.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

If there’s one book I hope everyone will read this month, it’s David Enrich’s “Murder the Truth: Fear, the First Amendment, and a Secret Campaign to Protect the Powerful.”
The campaign to suppress the truth is both well-funded and propelled by a relentless sense of urgency

The opposite of woke is asleep. And that is what Trump and MAGA want the American people to be. Asleep. Unconscious. Oblivious to the crimes, corruption, abuses, betrayals, and traitorousness of their regime. They know the only way they can wield power is in a brain dead America. It's their #1 goal.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Deficit today 1.8 trillion.
Deficit over next 10 years 22.1 trillion. Deficit over next 10 years with the Republican House budget 24.9 trillion.
They are adding 2.8 trillion to the problem! Thoughts MAGA?

Food costs, health care and housing costs, are already at an all-time high.
Instead of working to lower these expenses, Republicans want to give billionaires and big corporations yet another tax break.
That’s just not right.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint.
In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry.
Make sure everyone knows it.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.
On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.
