This interview hurt my soul. The mistreatment of black women and journalists by this President is down right embarrassing and unacceptable. Kristin Welker is neither crooked or stupid. She is a history making journalist who has earned the right to be respected. The President should apologize immediately.
I don't know what it's like to live a life like @HunterBiden has lived for the past several years (or beyond!). Life is messy & complex, & it takes an enormous amount of resilience to be so open, honest & vulnerable in so public a fashion. To all: Be kind to others and yourself.
@CalebFC18 No tax breaks for billion-dollar corporations! The Bears should figure it out themselves. Abandoning the working families that have supported them all these years is insane and a complete slap in the face.
Don’t care what @ChrisCillizza thinks: @60Minutes is a gold standard of integrity & real journalism. Even the irreplaceable Andy Rooney spoke truth to power. Getting rid of Pelley in this moment in American history is capitulation, even if by the useful idiocy of @nickbilton.
I enjoyed your book AMERICAN KINGPIN, @nickbilton. But you clearly don’t understand what this moment requires if you think getting rid of @ScottPelley from @60Minutes is anything but a travesty. You’ve chosen not to rise to the moment. News won’t be the same for some time.

A new study argues an Illinois millionaires tax could raise $4 billion for property tax relief, K-12 funding or both. And Democrats may not get a better moment to push it, @brendenmoore13 writes. https://t.co/GV4FZgp0a7
I’m supporting Margaret Croke because she has the experience we need to deliver the transparency, oversight, and efficiency we deserve in our Comptroller.
Get out to vote now or on Election Day, March 17 and join me in supporting Margaret Croke!
The suspension of @jimmykimmel and the promise to silence other Late Night hosts for criticizing the administration should disturb everyone on the Right, Left, and Center. It’s wrong and anyone with a conscience knows it’s wrong.
Ben Shapiro: “The FCC should not be threatening action against ABC or its affiliates or Disney based on Jimmy Kimmel being a jacka**. He’s been a jackla** his entire career. Social censure is perfectly appropriate. The blowback from the public is totally natural and good because Jimmy Kimmel is in fact a schmuck that should have been taken off the air 10 years ago.”
“I do not want the FCC in the business of telling local affiliates that their licenses will be removed if they broadcast material that the FCC deems to be informationally false.”
“Why? Because one day the shoe will be on the other foot.”
Pres. Trump celebrating the cancelation of Jimmy Kimmel at the behest of the FCC shows that he never cared about free speech or wanted to fight cancel culture; he only cared about speech based on whether he agreed with it or not.
Gov. Edgar passed away earlier today. Gov. Quinn statement on his passing:
“Gov. Jim Edgar was a good and decent man who cared deeply about the people of Illinois. He believed in property tax reform and a quality education for everyone.
"May God rest his immortal soul."
