Scott Pelley delivered a commencement speech rooted in truth, humility, and democratic values - everything Trump’s West Point rant lacked.
Pelley reminded graduates: “The truth is not what we want it to be; it is what it is.”
One honored the moment.
The other exploited it.👇

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

In 2022, Biden earmarked billions of dollars to help former coal communities. It was the largest investment in Appalachia since LBJ's 1960s’ war on poverty.
But Trump won West Virginia 70% to 28% in 2024. And now he's taking away the funding Biden gave them.

Donald Trump is objectively pro-crime.
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Trump orders boats to be shot that are allegedly carrying drugs out of Venezuela and then pardons a drug trafficker. His brain is defective.
JUST IN: Trump says he’ll issue a “Full and Complete Pardon” to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, convicted of drug trafficking last year in the US and sentenced to 45 years in prison.
