@nate_postlethwt I finally experienced healing when I started to make art about it…

Scott Pelley just issued a statement on Bari's remarks this morning:

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Richard Gere on Trump: “We’re living in the darkest moment that I’ve experienced on this planet. Whoever thought America could turn like this? Whoever thought that a maniac like this would be president and dismantle all the good things? America’s never been a perfect place, but it has a perfect ideal. First day this guy dismantled almost everything that was good about the US government and people”

I’m so sick of these traitors and their lies, corruption and disregard for human beings. These people are the worst of the worst

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

WAKE UP, AMERICA.

The Supreme Court majority just admitted it’s a PARTISAN operator willing to TORCH the rule of law to advance its ideological agenda.

In an unprecedented move with a brief UNSIGNED order, it: 1) IGNORED the central basis of the lower court’s decision, 2) DISREGARDED its own precedent (that it had assured just weeks ago remained good law), and 3) REWARDED Alabama's defiance of a federal court order.

All to help Republicans squeeze out one more seat in the midterms. And on Election Day for millions of Americans no less!

This is sick.

“Power, not reason, is the new currency of this Court's decisionmaking.” — Thurgood Marshall

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.

@ClaireMPLS Hang in there! Saw you on @jovanbuha - you were excellent! You’re doing great even if you’re not feeling great. The haters are often louder but you have lots of people out here rooting for you and appreciating the work you are doing. Hope things get easier soon.

Rubio: "We're getting a lot of questions about us. I don't think it's fair because ultimately the people who have closed the Strait of Hormuz are Iran."

Sen. Schatz: "Nobody's defending what Iran is doing. I think what we're saying is this was not just predictable, it was predicted…It's really shocking to me the degree to which this administration expresses shock that the thing that everybody said was going to happen ended up happening."

[Popular Liberal 🇺🇸 @PopularLiberal]

WOW! Imagine if Hunter Biden invested in a company and three months later the White House rushed a $620,000,000 Pentagon loan to it.

That’s exactly what Don Jr. did with Vulcan Elements. Stephanie Ruhle calls it corruption. Republicans call it “Tuesday.” The valuation jumps from $200 million to $2 billion.

Your tax dollars. Their bank account.

GM and wonderful news to share.

Before Calles Insolentes has even opened in Miami and Bogotá, it has already recorded its first sale!

@Dogenationdog @Pharmdca Get money from him and then issue a pardon.

@BarackObama Your class, intelligence, thoughtfulness and humanity is so greatly missed in the White House 💜

I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO STOP FRAUD 🙄 STRANGE 🤷

[Thrilla the Gorilla @ThrillaRilla369]

We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we never question why the super rich are never satisfied with what they already have.

[Dan 🤖🌥❤️ 🚀 @mcF_dan]

$IREN is roughly a $20B market cap. They could easily sign a deal with Anthropic that accelerates their ARR to rival $NBIS with its almost $60B market cap. Post-deal, we’re looking at $200+ per share. The odds of this happening are pretty good with all the things that have been happening. Anthropic is desperate for compute, as seen by their willingness to pay xAI a premium. Jensen said they will provide Anthropic with tons of compute over the next year or two. Dan Roberts has said they don’t need a sales team when they have $NVDA as a partner. The other Neoclouds have already signed away their capacity for the next few years. The stars are aligning to Sweetwater and the rest of Childress for a massive deal.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

There is no world in which this is okay.  

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 

His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated. 

If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself. 

This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it. 

The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next. 

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW. 

Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

Katie Phang: Hello, mainstream media, legacy media. You gotta be asking James Comer why he's allowing the transcribed interview and not allowing the sworn deposition videotaped testimony of former AG Pamela Jo Bondi.

The person who said, "I've got the Epstein files on my desk." The person who issued that July 7, 2025 memo alongside FBI's Kash Patel saying, "I've looked at everything, there's nothing left to give over, there's no one left to investigate, there's nothing to be done."

And yet, subsequent to that, we get three million plus pages and documents with another three million that Todd Blanche is still sitting his ass on?

Stop. We're not fucking stupid.

[Governor Newsom Press Office (parody) @AwesomeNewsom]

American soldiers die in Trump's war, not a word from Donald. Gas and food prices skyrocket, not a word from Donald. People demand the Epstein files, not a word from Donald. But the minute you take his fat name off a building, Donald writes Mein Kampf for Morons.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

🚨 BREAKING: ProPublica reporter Robert Faturechi confirms the White House directly intervened to force the Pentagon to give a record-breaking loan to a startup just 3 months after Don Jr. invested in it.

The Trump administration is looting the country!

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Psaki: “Now, of course, ALL of the companies working with Trump’s children DENY any conflicts of interest or special treatment…and the president’s sons all say some version of the same…what they are NOT DENYING is that since Trump retook office, he and his family have gotten REALLY REALLY RICH…Trump’s second term has been a real BOON for your wallet, if your last name just so happens to be Trump. For everyone else, it is pretty much been just the opposite.”🙄
