Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.
Voltaire passed away today in 1778.
There are two quotes of his I always come back to:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
and
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.
🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine just turned weather into a weapon.
A weather balloon drifts 26 miles into Russian airspace, reaches 5 miles altitude, then releases an American Hornet kamikaze drone with 95% of its battery still intact and a strike range extended to roughly 75 miles.
No radar signature, no engine noise, just the wind quietly doing all the work.
The part that stings most for Russia: they can't copy it. The prevailing winds in the region blow toward Russia, not away from it.
Ukraine's geographic position turns a basic meteorological fact into a permanent tactical advantage.
Physics picked a side.

COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.
There is no close second in our history.

Trump ousted the two biggest MAGA advocates for the Epstein victims.
The rest of the MAGA contingent who wanted justice have been cowered into silence. Or compliance.
This is MAGA now.
Stumping for unchecked billionaires, pedophiles, high gas prices, inflation, and endless wars in the Middle East.
A coven of cowards.
