@public_reason00 @JoJoFromJerz And yet Mr. McOrange Shitpants have a speech with the words dumocrat and insisted that democrats are communists. He also tried to further his agenda by proclaiming that the save act must be passed. Apparently he doesn't know how to do anything but divide America.

@Gina2026A @adammocklerr It isn't MY policies. Up until Trump i was republican. Now I'm just a person trying to survive his corruption. He's been an idiot since I can remember him from the 80s. It's all a big grift. You're full of crap if you think he's your savior.

@wlcondra @HalfwayPost If trump found a cure for cancer (he won't, he's an idiot, covefefe) he would grift it to the highest bidder and cheat the American public out of any hope of using said cure because he keeps cutting Medicare, medicaid and cutting medical subsidies. Also he cut cancer research.

@Gina2026A @adammocklerr Except it's the billionaires that cheat Americans out of raises to be able to feed themselves. Petite work 2 and 3 jobs and can't pay rent, groceries and gas, all in the name of the almighty dollar and profits in their pockets. When will you realize, it's us vs. them.

Bari Weiss became CBS News editor-in-chief last fall under Paramount Skydance's new ownership. Her first significant editorial act: pulling a completed 60 Minutes segment on migrants held in El Salvador's CECOT prison hours before it was set to air.

Then she installed Nick Bilton - a technology journalist - as the new executive producer of 60 Minutes, replacing Tanya Simon. Correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega were also fired in the leadership overhaul.

Scott Pelley - 51 Emmy Awards, 37 years at CBS, former Evening News anchor - confronted Bilton at his first all-staff meeting. He said Weiss was "murdering the show" and questioned Bilton's qualifications. He was fired the next day "for cause."

Pelley's statement: "The collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable."

Lesley Stahl called it the hardest chapter of her career.

The sequence matters here. The pulled segment came first. A completed story about Trump administration policy - pulled by a new editor-in-chief answerable to new corporate ownership - before it reached viewers. Then the management purge. Then the firing of the journalist who named it publicly.

60 Minutes has broken more consequential stories over 58 years than almost any other program in American broadcast history. What Weiss is building in its place is not yet clear. What she has already dismantled is.

Buried in a DOJ court filing on Friday is the part of this story that hasn't gotten enough attention.

The Department of Homeland Security is now exploring coordinating with the USPS to monitor mail-in ballot flows, identify anomalies, and generate "authorized investigative leads." The postal service - created by Congress as an independent entity - is being evaluated as a surveillance and investigation tool for federal law enforcement, applied specifically to Americans who vote by mail.

That is a separate track from the voter eligibility list story. Both are running simultaneously. The March 31 executive order requires states to submit lists of voters who have requested absentee ballots for federal eligibility approval before those ballots can be sent. On May 29, USPS began drafting compliance plans. Election officials in California and Wisconsin have already documented slower ballot delivery times since the policy changes began.

The NAACP sued Thursday, arguing the new rule violates a 2021 court-enforced settlement in which USPS agreed to protect mail-in voting and prioritize timely ballot delivery through 2028 - a binding legal commitment the agency is now moving to undermine. A federal judge in a separate case has expressed being "very concerned" about the harm the order could impose on voters.

The American Postal Workers Union's statement named what this actually is: "The Postal Service serves all Americans - regardless of party, religion, or race. It is not a tool for politicians to pick which Americans get which benefits." That sentence is a legal argument and a civic one. The postal workers who sort and deliver ballots in Elkhart and Fort Wayne and rural Hamilton County are being asked to participate in a process their own union has called unconstitutional. That matters.

@micyoung75 This isn’t a fiasco. It’s a confession. Artists walked out. Trump called himself bigger than Elvis. Then made himself the headline act for America’s 250th birthday. In 1976 Gerald Ford celebrated the country. In 2026 Trump replaced the concert with himself.

Indiana's Lt. Governor used his official platform to say his job is giving Hoosiers "permission to hate" Islam. There are Muslim families in Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, and Bloomington who are his constituents.

He is sworn to serve them. He just told the state to hate them.

The President of the United States just posted a stylized image of people being blown apart with “Adios” stamped on top like it’s some badass movie poster.

War is not entertainment.
Death is not branding.
And glorifying violence like this in front of millions of kids is fucking demented!

And didn't he just announce a peace deal?

❤️ if you agree that THIS MUST STOP!!!

[Mr. Gerald Wayne @geraldwayne]

THE NUMBERS DON’T WHISPER. THEY SCREAM.

Massie gained votes.

Turnout doubled.

His opponent vote didn’t grow.

It exploded.

2024 opponent vote: 12,664
2026 opponent vote: 57,822

That’s a 356.6% surge.

Total turnout jumped from 52,593 to 105,361.

Maybe it’s real.

Maybe it’s clean.

Maybe every ballot checks out.

Then prove it.

An audit is not fear.

An audit is verification.

If voters are expected to accept the result then officials should welcome the review.

Call the Kentucky Secretary of State.

Call county election boards in KY-04.

Demand a full audit of the Republican primary vote.

Ballot count.

Chain of custody.

Machine logs.

Absentee totals.

Precinct-level turnout.

Trust is earned in daylight.

Open the books.

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.

Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.

IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.

The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.

The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.

Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.” 

Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.

The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.

This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

On Thursday, this week documented that Judge Kathleen Williams had set a May 20 deadline to examine whether the government was actually defending public interests in Trump's $10 billion IRS lawsuit. White House and DOJ officials were reportedly racing to settle before that date.

Monday morning, Trump filed a voluntary dismissal - two days before the deadline. The filing is self-executing under Rule 41. It contains this language: "Upon the filing of this Notice, no judicial analysis is appropriate."

They filed a document specifically designed to prevent judicial examination, and argued within the document itself that it is immune from scrutiny.

93 Democratic members of Congress filed in opposition. Their filing argues the proposed $1.776 billion fund would represent an "improper and unconstitutional transfer of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of the President, his family, and his allies." Their closing argument: any settlement "intended to avoid the Court's scrutiny" would contravene DOJ settlement authority and the Constitution.

The May 20 deadline was 48 hours away. The case is now dismissed. The settlement proceeds outside judicial examination. The constitutional question the 93 members raised is now the remaining case.
