⚡️CBS News has fired veteran journalist Scott Pelley, one of the network’s most prominent reporters and a longtime correspondent for 60 Minutes, according to The New York Times.
Pelley was terminated a day after a tense staff meeting in which he accused CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of “murdering ‘60 Minutes’” following the removal of the program’s leadership and multiple on-air correspondents. Pelley had worked at CBS since 1989.

Romans depicted Ancient Egyptians as Black because they saw them.
The renowned mosaics of St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, built and decorated mainly between the 11th and 13th centuries, serve as a key medieval visual archive. They include representations of Egyptians, Arabs, and Asiatics as deliberate ideological statements reflecting Venetian power, religious identity, and the Crusading era’s geopolitics.
The mosaics distinguish Egyptians from Arabs based on Biblical tradition. Scenes like the Life of Moses or Joseph in Egypt show ancient Egyptians with dark skin and distinct costumes, following long-standing iconographic conventions. Arabs appear with different features, such as turbans and lighter garments, representing contemporary Muslim adversaries. Generalized Asiatic figures are shown with ornate, exotic attire symbolizing distant pagan lands.
Created amid Venice’s maritime trade and conflicts in the Mediterranean and Levant, the mosaics served as theological instruction, political propaganda, and visual mediation of cross-cultural contact. Depictions of Arabs tie directly to Crusades narratives of holy war. Overall, they are curated visual rhetoric that uses ethnic differences to affirm Venetian and Christian identity within the sacred space.

1 in 10 people in the American West get their drinking water from federal public lands.
Trump just stripped the main protection those lands had.
On May 11th, the administration quietly erased the rule that required conservation to be weighed equally with drilling, mining, and grazing on 245 million acres of land that belongs to every American.
Here's what those 245 million acres actually hold:
Over 300 threatened and endangered species.
Another 2,460 at-risk species already trending toward extinction.
And before this rule existed?
81% of that land was already open to oil and gas drilling.
60% already grazed by livestock.
Only 14% set aside for lasting conservation.
The rule said: before you do more damage, you have to weigh the cost.
That rule is now gone.
The government asked for public input before killing it.
The overwhelming majority of responses said keep the rule.
Didn’t matter.
26 retired federal land managers called the repeal legally unsupportable.
State attorneys general called it illegal.
60+ members of Congress said don't do this.
The oil, mining, and cattle industries said do it.
Guess who won.
So who exactly are America's public lands being managed for?

The United States continues to facilitate Israel’s daily killing of Palestinian civilians, through full military and political support as Israel ignores the Trump-brokered ceasefire.
