Meanwhile in Colorado, reporter .@KyleClark shows how the press should ask questions during a debate, persistently and without stopping, even though GOP gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx tried his hardest to evade. #DemsUnited

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republican Senator Bill Cassidy just personally blamed Donald Trump for the rise in healthcare costs in our country. Woah.

OUR VIEW: It’s beyond outrageous that anglers fishing in the Pecos River have had to face barriers to stream access or worse, an irate landowner brandishing a weapon. In New Mexico, the right to river access is enshrined in the Constitution. https://t.co/XSz4VJYCcV

@nalepa0302 @SenCortezMasto geez. No restraint on character assassination here, eh? How about showing a little respect.

[PecosMike @PecosMike]

@SenCortezMasto Great job Senator - you mopped the floor with this poor excuse for a leader.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

Recently-fired Scott Pelley spills all the tea on Bari Weiss' lies, and veteran journalists Don Lemon and Jim Acosta speak out in support.

EVERY COMPANY ADVERTISING ON CBS SHOULD BE EXPOSED AND BOYCOTTED.

My office won another victory in our case against Wayne LaPierre and the NRA.

LaPierre and other NRA leaders broke the law by funneling millions of dollars into their pockets. We're holding them accountable for their rampant corruption.

Richard Gere on Trump: “We’re living in the darkest moment that I’ve experienced on this planet. Whoever thought America could turn like this? Whoever thought that a maniac like this would be president and dismantle all the good things? America’s never been a perfect place, but it has a perfect ideal. First day this guy dismantled almost everything that was good about the US government and people”

[PecosMike @PecosMike]

@PMastersMusic Is that all you got? Keep trolling Hunter - his Dad is out of office. Your guy, the Trumpster owns everything now. And, all you got to do is to troll the previous Administration. Is that the best you can bring to your audience. Pathetic.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

More of CNN's false equivalence language. Ukraine is not targeting St. Petersburg, but striking military installations, Russian warships, and oil refineries. It's the Russian terror state that strikes cities and targets civilians. https://t.co/Cy7DgqtkuT

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

In America today, we rank 34th out of 35 countries in childhood poverty and millions of children are food insecure.

Maybe, just maybe, my Republican colleagues would consider holding a single hearing about how we improve the lives of American kids.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, 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.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: The Secretary of Homeland Security just admitted, on camera, that he is going to violate your First Amendment right to free speech.

He said, “I have ZERO tolerance. If you verbally assault our officers… we will find you, we will arrest you.”

Except… that’s not how the First Amendment works.

Unless someone is making a credible threat of violence, speech… even rude, angry, or insulting speech… is still protected.

That’s the whole point of a free speech clause… to protect the people from situations where those in power don’t like what’s being said.

So, when a top federal official starts framing “verbal assault” as something you can be arrested for, without clearly defining it as an actual threat…

It stops sounding like protecting officers, and starts sounding like a government trying to silence people who speak out against it.

The Trump administration is sending ships to rip 900 ocean sensors out of the Atlantic and Pacific — and Congress already told them twice they couldn't do it.**
They're doing it anyway.

Lieu: Instead of holding North Korea style cabinet meetings where everyone kisses Trump’s ass, I’m going to ask you to come clean—there is something wrong with Trump. There’s a reason he keeps going to the hospital and they keep giving him cognitive tests. We have not seen him in eight days.

Rubio: I assure this is not a president who sleeps or who is cognitively impaired in any way.

Lieu: I just showed you three videos of him sleeping.
