@stephenasmith @ufc Would’ve been more historic/spectacular if it actually took place on America’s 250th IMO…

@burgessev Johnny “Appleseed” Chapman of course!

@jwhittenbergK5 @KING5Seattle I remember Mercer Island School District providing iPads to students in middle school. I’d be curious how the state will curb the technology access disadvantage that may occur with a cell phone ban, particularly for students without that level of access to tech…

@RentonpdWA Really neat use of modern tech!

[Renton Police Dept. @RentonpdWA]

New bodycam translation feature
Every police bodycam can now translate 56 languages with the push of a button.
That means when an officer encounters someone who doesn't speak English, they can communicate immediately, no waiting, no confusion, no unnecessary tension. 1/3

@atrupar When a POTUS doesn’t have the resolve to complete an interview, it’s a weak sign.

@reesejgorman Hey, they played one heck of a game… That was a nail biter! Sending my well wishes for game 3 😄

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.

@DylanByers Scott is one of the best journalists in the industry. Disappointing day to say the least…

[Pablo Manríquez @PabloReports]

This is a serious attack on press freedom by the State Department ⬇️

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

BREAKING: @character_ai is illegally presenting a chatbot as a licensed medical professional in Pennsylvania — and we’re suing to stop them. 

Earlier this year, I announced a new state task force to investigate chatbots that pose as licensed professionals. Our investigators found an AI character on @character_ai that claimed to be a psychiatrist — falsely stating it was licensed in PA and even providing a fake license number.  

We will not let AI companies mislead vulnerable Pennsylvanians into believing they’re getting advice from a licensed medical professional. We’re taking @character_ai to court to stop them.

@weijia @EugeneDaniels2 Fantastic use of the unserved meals!

[Carlos @CyberCSF]

@TJHitchings Only acceptable response 🤣

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

I’ve read the San Francisco Chronicle’s reporting and I take it seriously.

What is described is indefensible. Women who come forward with accounts like this deserve to be heard with respect, not questioned or dismissed.

I regret having come to his defense on social media prior to knowing all the information. I am equally as shocked and upset about what has transpired.

I am withdrawing my endorsement of Congressman Swalwell, effective immediately.

@ianbremmer @atrupar I think the American people would disagree here, Ian. The threat is quite serious when POTUS claims intent to destroy a civilization. Rhetoric is one thing, but this comes after he has attacked numerous sovereign nations (7), bombed schoolchildren in Minab, and killed Khamenei.
