SCOOP: Trump officials are diverting roughly $90 million in national parks entry fees to pay for the president’s July 4th plans, including a massive fireworks display. By @jakespring@ddiamond and @NaemaAhmed https://t.co/Oy1OqmYdZO
Graduation season Latin:
Alumni if they are a group, whether all men or of both sexes
Alumnae if they are all ladies
Alumnus if he's the only one
Alumna if she's the only one
@JakeSherman There is one prominent Republican who consistently has won in a district that is increasingly Democratic.
He's also known statewide as the harshest Republican critic of the president.
Jon Bramnick
I'm not saying it's going to happen but it's something to watch
@JakeSherman I certainly hope Tom recovers from whatever medical issues he's been suffering. That said, even if he returns on a limited schedule, the whisper in NJ is that he won't run & Republican committees will have to select a candidate to replace him
Who???
3/3 Here in Rome the reaction is that this is a bold stroke of necessary discontinuity. It is clearly the fruit of much deliberation and discussion (she has met with Leo four times) and it heralds far-reaching reform. She deserves our support in a demanding role.
@KatiePMcGrady@fr_faulkner@MontseEWTN Consider also she is going to a leadership position where we have not seen any lay women but further anyone under the age of 60 is considered young.
The difference in age between your little girls and Montse is about the same as her age difference to the Holy Father.
David J. Halberstam, legendary sports broadcaster and journalist, has passed away after a long battle with brain cancer.
Halberstam spent nearly 50 years in the industry across college basketball, NBA and more.
Trump has spent years distrusting the intelligence community.
Now he's put Bill Pulte, a housing finance executive with no intelligence background, in charge of it as Acting Director of National Intelligence.
Loyalty over expertise.
America is less safe for it.
@igorbobic@kathrynw5 I am old enough to recall @Bob_Casey father had other Bob Casey's win statewide nomination to other offices based on mistaken identity.
In his fourth attempt for governor, he ran as ' the real Bob Casey' and won.
@joeymdfox@zachblackburn23@CongressmanKean Joey...I do hope he recovers but longer this goes, even if is able to return in some capacity , I keep thinking the real deadline is the date the various Republican County committees need to appoint a new nominee for November.
60 Minutes made $206 million in advertising in 2024. It was not a struggling relic. It was the most profitable serious journalism operation in American broadcasting.
Then David Ellison bought Bari Weiss's website for $150 million and handed her CBS News. She spiked a story on El Salvador's CECOT prison. She let Benjamin Netanyahu pick his own interviewer instead of sitting across from Leslie Stahl. She fired the executive producer, two on-air correspondents, and the behind-the-camera producers who actually ran the place.
The replacement EP has never worked a day in broadcast news. Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire endorsed the hire.
This is not mismanagement. Ratings are down across CBS News. The journalism is getting worse. The audience is leaving. But Ellison's other corporate deals - the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition - got a presidential thumbs-up while Netflix got frozen out. Trump said out loud he would remember which companies played ball.
That's the transaction. CBS News bleeds so that Paramount profits. Sharyn Alfonsi doesn't have a job so that David Ellison gets his merger.
The people who watched 60 Minutes for fifty years to find out what was actually happening in the world... they just lost something that cannot be rebuilt under corporate ownership. Not in this environment. Not while the president is keeping score.
