Republicans the moment someone speaks to them the same way they speak to others.

NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss:

"Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes.

Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over.

In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and “restructuring” to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom.

Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 Minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it.

The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not. If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like 60 Minutes but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters.

To my colleagues, who became family - working beside you has been the privilege of a lifetime. You are second to none. I’ve learned exactly what it costs to hold the line right now. Hold it anyway. Viewers and the people who trust us with their stories deserve nothing less."

@WhiteHouse Bless your heart. It certainly isn’t.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

@Acyn Imagine saying “we finally have a president who takes fraud seriously," while Trump is literally famous for Trump University, charity fraud, and business fraud settlements.

the ballroom is a money laundering operation.

his whole second term is a money laundering operation.

But he can’t go anywhere so he needs a ballroom bunker fortress.

@GeraldoRivera So it’s not the White House ballroom it’s going to be a venue that anyone can rent? Like for weddings and proms ? Is that what you’re telling me?

[Warren @swd2]

When 11-year old Ahmir Jolliff was murdered on the first day of sixth grade Trump said, "it’s just horrible... but we have to get over it. We have to move forward."

So fuck him and his stupid ballroom. Let's get over it.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

JD Vance compared Trump to Hitler.

[BluByU @Udntnonutn]

trump just quietly wiped out the National Science Board.

Not a few seats.
The whole board.

Fired by email.
Zero explanation.

They oversee the National Science Foundation, the essential pipeline for billions in US research.

In case you don’t know what they actually do.

They-
Set priorities.
Help decide what gets funded.
Make sure it’s based on science and not politics.

That funding helped drive-
MRI tech.
GPS.
The internet.
Medical breakthroughs.

These seats are staggered so no one president can flip the direction overnight.

That guardrail is now gone.

Now it comes down to who replaces them and whether science stays independent or gets even more political.

We won’t feel this tomorrow.

We’ll feel it when the next breakthrough never shows up.
