Here's the full chain of events that led to Trump storming out of his interview with Kristin Welker, beginning with her pressing him on the weaponization fund, continuing with her pointing out the baselessness of his "rigged election" lies, and concluding with him calling her "crooked or stupid" and leaving

NEW: I just introduced an amendment that would block Bill Pulte from being DNI.

If even half of my Republican colleagues that have privately voiced concerns about him vote for this… it should pass.

I bet you didn’t know that Justice Gorsuch cousin sold an acre of land to Russian Oligarch Vladislav Doronin 2022 for $10 million. The same Doronin that the Kushner Albania Island is attached to.

UNBELIEVABLE!!

Why can't the Senate pass what over 80% of Americans want?!

I'm demanding information from ICE on what happened in Danbury today. Contrary to their statement, ICE is not targeting criminals - they are targeting peaceful, law abiding immigrants. In Connecticut and everywhere else. They are a lawless agency.

Thousands of Albanians are protesting a resort planned for a pristine strip of the Mediterranean coastline and backed by President Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner.

The project is a “wipeout of nature,” a protester said. https://t.co/zkWkdiD7X3

Trump’s budget director Russ Vought is the most dangerous person you’ve never heard of.

And he just proposed turning every federal grant into a loyalty test.

His plan would make funding for cancer research, housing, transportation, and public health depend on one thing: whether it “advances the President’s policy priorities.”

Not whether it works.

Not whether Congress authorized it.

Whether it pleases Trump.

This is the appropriations power. It belongs to Congress and to the people.
To my Republican colleagues: where are you?

Congress passed this funding. You voted for it.

Vought is telling you to your faces that your votes do not matter, that he and his enablers will override the law whenever it suits them. Every day you stay silent, you give away the institution you were elected to defend.

Grow a spine.

This is not about left or right.

It is about whether Congress still exists as a coequal branch, or whether we have quietly surrendered the purse to an unelected hack who holds the Constitution in contempt.

History will remember who stood up and who looked away.

WATCH: Republicans again blocked Sen. Ossoff's amendment to prevent insurance companies from denying or delaying needed care.

“Instead of slush funds for criminals and corrupt ballrooms, let's do something useful. Let's ban insurance companies from denying or delaying medically necessary health care to Americans," Sen. Ossoff said.

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.

Trump has lost in iran. They are fully in control. Global inventories are running out. Energy crisis about to hit that will make 2022 seem like a breeze. Asia, which is where roughly 40% of the world's manufacturing takes place is going to take the biggest hit first then Europe. We wont run out of gas or oil, whether you'llbe able to afford it is a different subject. Maga has literally made everyone's life in the entire world shittier other than the epstein pedo billionaire class they support. The world is being held hostage by the dumbest sacks of shit in our society. This is by far the worst strategic mistake of my lifetime and the repercussions will be felt for at least a generation. You cannot hate these ppl enough. Their stupidity has ruined us.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

FYI this is the test Trump is bragging about “acing” 4 times

It’s a fucking embarrassment that his handlers are still letting him gloat about this like it’s some extreme act of intellect
