Ossoff: Freedom is rare. Stretching back beyond the horizon of recorded history, most humans who have ever lived have lived at the mercy of lords and masters and kings.
But we're a nation founded on the rejection of kingdom. We're a nation founded on the radical idea that all human beings have a natural right to liberty.
🚨 Jason Galanis stole $60 million from Indigenous tribes, among other crimes.
Trump commuted his sentence allowing him to keep $80 million of stolen funds.
So putting a bunch of 20 something incels with no life experience in charge of making cuts to necessary government programs was a bad idea? Who could have seen that coming?
Yesterday I told you the government is pulling 900 ocean monitoring instruments out of the water.
Here is the part that should make every American angry, regardless of where you stand on climate.
Congress voted to fund this network. Not once. Twice. The Trump administration proposed cutting it by 80 percent in 2025. Congress restored the money. Proposed the same cut in 2026. Congress restored the money again.
So the administration labeled it a "descope" and ordered the instruments pulled anyway.
That is not a budget disagreement. That is an executive branch telling the legislative branch that its votes do not matter. The public paid for this infrastructure. Congress protected it. One office in Washington decided the public should not have it.
This is the pattern I document in 𝑾𝒆 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒅 𝑮𝒖𝒚𝒔. It is not about left or right. It is about who decides what Americans are allowed to know about their own planet.
Who should make that call?

James Carville: “I’m just waiting for the NYT to drop a 5-point series on the depth of this corruption. The corruption is beyond anything, it might be that there’s been more corruption under the administration of Donald Trump than there has in the 250 year history of the US”
Pete Hegseth just removed 7 Navy officers from the service's one-star promotion list. One was reportedly singled out after her name appeared on a website identifying "woke" service members, for serving as a "diversity liaison" two decades earlier. That's not merit. It's a purge.
Trump, Musk and Rubio slashed aid and scoffed that it was woke nonsense. Now they're seeing that it not only saved one life every 10 seconds but also protected us from diseases like Ebola. Their actions constituted a security failure as well as a moral one.
More broadly, their fecklessness contrasts with the courage and humanity of doctors and aid workers in Congo and Uganda, lacking adequate PPE but still risking the virus to care for fellow humans.
Trump, Musk and Rubio might learn something from them. https://t.co/kPKj7fqJFZ

Notice the pattern.
Scott Pelley says he was stonewalled.

Now Steve Kroft says management is interfering with journalism.
At some point, this stops looking like a personnel dispute.
And starts looking like a newsroom rebellion.
