60 MINUTES CORRESPONDENT: “Our story was screened 5x and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.” #CBSNewsMAX #BariWeiss

Drop Paramount+ which owns CBS
Bari Weiss claims she killed the CBS CECOT story because it lacked Trump’s perspective.
1. That’s a lie. Trump has publicly commented supporting CECOT.
2. Refusing to comment is their choice. They are no victim.
3. Killing a story to protect power is State Run Media.
Drop CBS permanently.

Ukraine’s delegation returns from the US tomorrow with documents on security guarantees and a 20-point peace framework discussed with American officials, including Trump’s team. He stresses that Putin will only shift from war if pressure continues, sanctions, oil price drops, and global isolation.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

I have a suggestion for Republicans who are worried about their next election.
Help Democrats impeach FOTUS before we get into another war.
It won't absolve them of their sins but it would clearly demonstrate to their constituents they don't support what's going on.
