“Yes Johnny?”

“Donald Trump deported my friends, closed my school, forced you to sell the family farm and took mommy’s cancer medicine away, so why did you vote for him again?”

“Because we needed to paint the reflecting pool, son.”

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Judge orders alleged Theresa Fusco killer Richard Bilodeau to submit two DNA samples..

A Nassau County judge on Tuesday ordered Richard Bilodeau, the Center Moriches man accused of raping and killing 16-year-old Theresa Fusco in 1984, to submit two DNA samples to compare them with the DNA taken off a vaginal swab from the scene of the crime.
Investigators have said that they already have a match from DNA taken from a drinking straw they saw the Walmart stocker throw away in 2024, but they need another one to develop a “genetic profile” of the suspect.
The Fusco murder has been one of the most vexing crimes in recent Nassau County history. More than 40 years ago, the teen went missing after being fired from her job at Hot Skates, a popular Lynbrook roller rink. She was supposed to sleep over at a girlfriend’s house, but never showed up.

A group of teenagers found her naked body about a month later next to the Long Island Rail Road tracks hidden under some leaves and shipping pallets.

Investigators said that she had been strangled by a rope and raped before being dumped. Theresa’s friend Kelly Morrissey had gone missing months earlier. Another young woman, Jacqueline Martarella, 19, was found murdered by a local golf course months later. The series of deaths and disappearances unsettled the community until three men were charged with Fusco’s murder.

John Kogut, John Restivo and Dennis Halstead were convicted of the crime and sentenced to 30 years to life in prison. It wasn’t until they had served 17 years behind bars that they were all freed, their verdicts overturned because none of their DNA matched that from the vaginal swab taken from Fusco’s body. Halstead and Restivo were awarded $18 million each from a federal jury in 2014 after they sued.
Working on an unspecified lead, investigators started focusing on Bilodeau, who was 22 and lived in Lynbrook at the time of Fusco’s killing. In February 2024, they followed him from to the Tropical Cafe smoothie shop where he had bought a drink, which they retrieved when he threw it away.
The DNA from the straw matched the DNA from the crime, leading to a grand jury indictment charging him with the rape and murder of Fusco.
Defense attorneys Daniel W. Russo and William Kephart argued that the existence of their client’s sperm on the victim did not mean that he killed her.
A forensic exam presented at the previous trials determined that Fusco did not show signs of rape.

The lawyers argued that there was no probable cause or compelling reason for prosecutors to get another sample from Bilodeau.
Prosecutor Tracy Keeton said in her response paper that “the only reason his DNA was inside the deceased was for a nefarious reason.”
Supreme Court Justice Helene Gugerty sided with the prosecution in ruling that Bilodeau must submit to a cheek swab.
The judge also ruled that the defense lawyers could have their own sample taken so that they could test it independently from the prosecution.
Russo and Kephart also asked the judge to limit the testing of Bilodeau’s DNA so that it could only be used in the Fusco case. Gugerty also denied that request.

The case is due back in court on July 22.

Being calm under pressure has advantages, but too little emotional sensitivity can create blind spots in relationships, decision-making, and personal growth. Here’s how to find a balance.
