You'll remember that when Biden delivered an address in 2022, networks refused to air it because they said it was "political" www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
Broadcasters NBC, CBS and ABC usually air presidential prime-time addresses live. But they found Biden's Philadelphia speech more "political" than newsworthy.

Perhaps the reporter should read it to him, so Johnson is "informed." What a sad excuse for a leader.
Here's the advance transcript of Mike Johnson being asked by a Hill reporter about Trump's inhumane, disgusting remarks:
"Mr. Speaker, what's your reaction to President Trump's statement on the murder of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer?"
"I actually haven't seen it."
"Oh. Okay."

At the time of Charlie Kirk's death, he was largely unknown outside of a narrow group of right-wingers and college students (24% name recognition, according to YouGov), so there is little doubt that the number who care about his wife is even smaller. Weiss confuses the GOP info-bubble with America.
I just have trouble believing that the median American is as obsessed with Erika Kirk as Bari Weiss is.
Lets check in at how things are going at CBS News

Another mass shooting—this time at Brown University. When Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban was in place, mass shooting deaths dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and Republicans let it expire, deaths skyrocketed by 239%.

If prayer could solve the uniquely American scourge of gun violence, it wouldn’t be the leading cause of death of
children in our country or kill over 10x the number of people who died on 9/11 every year. Instead, cowards like Donald Trump and his GOP enablers block any effort to end this madness.

Trump: "I've been fully briefed on the Brown University situation. What a terrible thing it is. All we can do right now is pray for the victims." (Trump falsely posted that the shooter is in custody.)

We just don't care. Bari please stop.
25 posts in 3 days from CBS featuring Bari Weiss with Erika Kirk.
Or maybe Erika Kirk with Bari Weiss - it’s hard to tell who was supposed to be the one featured in all this.

If the vast vast majority of Americans want reasonable gun controls and they can't get passed by the Congress then our democracy is broken. Or to be more accurate, it has been corrupted. The consciences and reason of our DC leaders have been purchased...for a pittance. Stop the $$ to stop the guns.

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries.

The shooting at Brown University is just one more American tragedy that our representatives refuse to address. Especially in Missouri where Moms volunteers were told to their faces that they will never pass any common sense gun legislation because “they don’t care”.

It is really quite amazing, in a cool zone type of way, how much of the US Constitution that Trump is really trying to test.
NEW: Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser (D) says Colorado will not release Tina Peters after President Trump announced he is pardoning her state-level convictions.
"This is a lawless act. It's an act of intimidation," Weiser said. "It has no basis in the American law."

Marjorie Taylor Greene told me to go back to my country and kicked our then-18-year-old communications director.
And then sent an army of trolls and death threats my way when I called her out.
She doesn’t get to play victim now.

CEO Elon Musk once described the Cybertruck as Tesla’s “best ever” product. But demand for the controversial pickup truck has dried up.
