Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.

NEW: For almost a decade, North Carolina’s majority-Republican legislature tried six times to strip Democratic governors of control over the board overseeing the swing state’s elections.

This year, it finally succeeded.

The Trump administration is preparing to write its own National Climate Assessment, the gold-standard science report that tracks how climate change is transforming the US. Authors could include Grok + researchers who produced the misleading Department of Energy report. www.eenews.net/articles/its...
It’s the gold standard of US climate research. Contrarians could write the next one.
Researchers who have downplayed the threat of global warming have been asked to author the next National Climate Assessment.

This wasn't an unbiased network being pressured by the Trump admin.

CBS News is now run by Bari Weiss, a full-on MAGA talking head.

Go after the CBS advertisers.

Procter & Gamble is the largest one they have.

If P&G pulls advertising from CBS, it will make a huge dent.

Start pummeling P&G.
CBS pulled a fully vetted 60 Minutes investigation into El Salvador’s CECOT prison.

The segment examined Trump era deportations and alleged human rights abuses.

A flagship news program withheld a fully vetted investigation because it was politically inconvenient, that’s not “editorial caution.”

If you think switching which corporate owned legacy media outlet you consume is the solution, you don't really understand how deep the problem is. It's not just ABS, CBS, WaPo or the LA Times. It's the system in which they work.

The only solution is to support pro-democracy independent media.

Just in case anyone feels like contacting CBS about @60minutes.bsky.social cancelling the CECOT story and the recent drop in quality of their news programming, here are some addresses.

The main one for feedback is:

“Our story was screened 5 times cleared by CBS attorneys & Standards & Practices,” Ms. Alfonsi wrote in the note. “It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.”

Bari Weiss censoring 60 Minutes to protect Trump is EXACTLY why she was hired. Larry Ellison runs CBS since he funded the purchase. See photo below of Larry with Trump. It's why Trump agreed to let Larry buy Tik Tok. It will be right wing propoganda on issues from US politics to Middle East

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now.

It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

See for yourself.

Those who have risen to the top in any system (including NYT writers, editors and publishers) always want to believe the status quo will hold. “Hitler no longer a threat, nothing big will change, we can just keep on doing what we are doing.”

that’s one lesson I’ve learned over the last decade

The DOJ released thousands of numerically labeled Epstein files yesterday.

In one file was a photo of Trump with young girls.

As of this morning, that file EFTA00000468 is now missing from the DOJ website.

They deleted it.

Remember when the SCOTUS was considering limits of presidential immunity?

One of the arguments was, "What if the president ordered SEAL Team Six to assassinate his political rivals?”

We are now one step away from this exact situation.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

This Epstein files document says that Epstein allegedly threatened to burn a young woman’s house down if she revealed that he had stolen and sold personal photographs she had taken of her sisters.

The sisters were 12 and 16 years old.
