Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.
CBS News current president Tom Cibroski praised Weiss on the call, saying "Bari's energy and passion is infectious and you will feel it, big time." He also added that the Free Press and CBS News "are going to learn a lot from each other...that's what this is all about."

Feel like @durbin.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov @coons.senate.gov @welch.senate.gov should maybe answer that fairly basic question?
Six Democratic senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee (Durbin, Schiff, Whitehouse, Klobuchar, Coons, and Welch) voted yes on two Trump district court nominees this morning, and my question remains, why do senior members of this party keep voluntarily ceding political capital to Donald Trump
Why Is This Democratic Senator Voting to Confirm a Trump Judicial Nominee?
If you really think Trump poses an existential threat to democracy, the bar for affirmatively supporting one of his nominees has to be higher than “I don’t know, he seems fine.”

2 dead, 8+ hurt after Thomas Sanford of Burton, MI, rammed a truck into a Mormon church, opened fire, and set it ablaze before police killed him. His home had a Trump–Vance 2024 sign and FB shows years of pro-Trump posts. Motive unconfirmed, but points to far-right politics.
