Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

ABC and CBS paid Trump.

Corrupt insiders are getting rich off of Trump's war.

It's depraved and it's unacceptable.

Those who have abused the public trust MUST be held to account.

Trump didn't give a shit about Americans in his first term because he had guardrails telling him to pretend to care. All that care is over now.

BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen DEMOLISHES Marco Rubio during a hearing, says that Trump is "stupid" and his foreign policy is "a dumpster fire" in a scathing takedown.

Every word of this was pure music to our ears...

"This is your first public hearing since President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu launched an illegal war against Iran. Netanyahu said he's been waiting 40 years to do this," said Van Hollen. "Turns out he finally found a President who was both stupid and reckless enough to join him. The war has killed 14 American service members, wounded hundreds more, and killed thousands of civilians. It's driving up the price of gas, food, and much more."

"Trump obviously doesn't care," he continued. "He called high gas prices 'peanuts' and said, 'I don't think about Americans' financial situation.' That's from the President of the United States."

The senator's analysis is spot on. This pointless and costly Iran War has turned into one of the greatest debacles in American military history. Trump has accomplished nothing beyond pointless death, wasting of our tax dollars, and empowering Israeli regional aggression. Through it all, Rubio — who has never met a foreign government that he doesn't want to overthrow — has been dutifully cheerleading the conflict.

"And all for what?" asked Van Hollen. "The President told us 91 days ago that we had, 'Won the war in Iran.' Last year, he told the country Iran's key enrichment facilities had been completely and totally obliterated. Was that false? Let's face it, Mr. Secretary, the Trump foreign policy has become a dumpster fire."

"This is the same President who's more interested in flattering Vladimir Putin than in protecting Ukrainian sovereignty," he went on. "The President who lifted restrictions on the transfer of sophisticated U.S. chips to China, but came back from his trip there with nothing but ballroom envy, tweeted about that the other day."

"This is the President who brought on Elon Musk to take a chainsaw to USAID, which has enabled the current Ebola outbreak in the DRC," he said.

"We've also witnessed corrupt crypto deals with the UAE royal family that have enriched the Trump family at the expense of our national security," he continued.

"We've seen an administration engage in extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean, hijacked Venezuelan oil, threatened to invade Greenland and weaken the NATO alliance. Here at home, a Reagan-appointed judge said that you and former Secretary Noem abused your powers when you locked up and still seek to deport students for protesting the destruction of Gaza."

"The Reagan-appointed judge said you did that 'Primarily on account of their First Amendment protected political speech,'" Van Hollen continued. "Speaking of Gaza, the so-called Board of Peace seems to have run around."

"Meanwhile, while Senator Rubio once proclaimed that the U.S. must, 'Work to ensure that refugees who flee war, torture, and persecution are provided safe environments to live and thrive in,' now as Secretary of State in this administration, you have capped refugees at a record low of 17,500, and white South Africans, Afrikaners, have comprised roughly 99% of those slots, Mr. Secretary, a race-based refugee system."

"The same time, the President is preventing Cuban political refugees from entering the United States, even as you've imposed a New York oil blockade on that repressive regime," said Van Hollen. "The stated goal is to change the government there, but the only real change is humanitarian crisis inflicted on millions of people, not members of the regime."

This was an absolute master class. Rubio clearly plans on running for President in 2028, especially now that Vance's star has fallen so dramatically. When he does, Van Hollen's words must be repeated far and wide. We have here a comprehensive accounting of Marco Rubio's profound failings, both strategically and morally, and it's crucial that every American hears it.

Please ❤️ and share if you would NEVER vote for Marcio Rubio!

'You did it': Ex-MAGA praises 'outraged' voters who bombed Trump’s latest grift https://t.co/8uGWg8nzjL "“Republicans in DC have let Trump know they cannot support [his slush fund]. Now, where do you think that comes from? That newfound courage, and it's not courage — don't ever put the word ‘courage’ with Republicans ever again. … Where do you think that came from? That came from the American people. Republicans found out. Republicans paid attention,” said Walsh. “Republicans realized overwhelmingly this is a really bad thing because the American people are outraged about it and they opposed it.” Very well said Joe!!!! You nailed it!!!!

As we observe Black Music Month, I am thinking about the ways music shaped our home, our memories, and our movement.

My mother deeply valued the power of music, culture, and artistic expression. In our family, music was not only something we listened to. It was part of the spirit that sustained us, connected us, and carried so much of our history.
