I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.

For two whole days Trump's comments on local NYC talk radio just hung in the air without question. The President of the United States claimed a strike on a country with whom we are not at war, and 48 hours passed without a peep. That says a lot about our media environment.

Trump was absolutely awful to Zelenskyy while praising our enemy, Putin. But Zelenskyy bit his lip and may have come away the winner nevertheless. My write up in today’s piece, link in the replies.

You might question her methods, but credit to Bari Weiss: her leadership has pushed 60 Minutes into new formats and attracted a bunch of new viewership outside the normal broadcast audience.
here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social

I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

Bari Weiss takes CBS from 60 to 0 in one decision.
CBS News(max) is officially cooked. Bari Weiss killed a whole-ass network.

🔥WOW— Sharyn Alfonsi to her @60Minutes colleagues: “Bari Weiss spiked it without a call to discuss… a political decision… we have effectively handed Trump a kill switch… we go from an investigative powerhouse to a STENOGRAPHER FOR THE STATE… corporate censorship…”

Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) Eli Crane (R-Ariz.) and Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) welcomed Putin Regime operatives to their offices, which says a lot about where they stand.

It is impossible to deny that the #Trump administration is now on Russia's side in the war.

In all of 2025, they have not made a single attempt to force #Russia to the negotiating table, but instead are aiding the enemy in every way they can.

What is the old man hiding?
Reporter: When I opened it, I gasped because I thought we were going to see something. What I saw instead was a 100 page document that says 'Grand Jury of New York' at the top of it, and that's the only text that you can see. It goes on for 119 pages where every single page of it is 100% blacked out
