Nick Bilton walked into the 60 Minutes newsroom four days after Bari Weiss fired the people who built the show. He tried to pretend he didn't know about the firings. Scott Pelley, in front of the remaining staff, would not let that stand.

"She loves 60 Minutes," Bilton said. "She's murdering 60 Minutes," Pelley said back. "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it - and she's doing exactly that."

One of Weiss's lieutenants kept interrupting to say Pelley was being rude. Pelley kept going.

JVL's framing is the right one. The corrupter depends on the existing institution being too polite to say the obvious thing out loud. Christopher Wray resigned quietly to "preserve the integrity of the FBI." John Kelly gave print interviews after he left. Thom Tillis, John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell, Jim Mattis, Bill Barr - all of them saw it. All of them objected privately. None of them said it in the room where it was happening, to the person doing it, while the cameras were still running.

Pelley said it in the room. To the person's face. In front of witnesses. While he still worked there.

That is a different thing entirely. Not a memoir. Not an anonymous source in a tell-all. Not a carefully worded statement issued after the resignation letter was already filed. The true thing, said out loud, to the people who needed to hear it, at the moment it could still matter.

Authoritarianism counts on politesse. It counts on people deciding the fight isn't worth the awkwardness, the career risk, the label of being difficult. Scott Pelley decided it was worth it. The republic needs more of that calculation to come out the same way.

We are saying no to a data centre in Île-des-Chênes because there are big threats to the environment and not much benefit to the economy.

Our message to any tech company out there… if you want to build technology with a thoughtful, human-centred approach that puts humanity first, then Manitoba is open for business. 🦬

The President fell asleep on the job again today.

I’m reposting the testimony of @SecRubio yesterday where he humiliated himself by repeatedly lying to Congress to save his job.

The American people trust their own eyes.

Republicans often like to say that government should be run more like a business.

If any CEO fell asleep at multiple board meetings and events, that CEO would be fired.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

The President of the United States is asleep at his desk. Again.

Behind him stand seven grown adults in expensive suits, and not one of them is doing anything about it. One is mid-sentence. Another is gazing sideways with the haunted look of a man whose pension depends on never acknowledging what he can see in his peripheral vision.

The rest of the world is watching, and the rest of the world has noticed something. Americans are terrified of authority. That fear has settled over this administration like a fog, and it turns otherwise functional adults into warm furniture. Nobody moves. Nobody speaks. The paralysis is total.

In any European parliament, in any boardroom from Oslo to Ljubljana, someone would have leaned over by now. Tapped a shoulder. Said, quietly but clearly, that perhaps this isn’t the moment. Somebody would have done something, because the alternative, pretending a sleeping man is running a meeting, would have been too absurd to sustain.

Not here. Here, seven men have collectively decided that the correct professional response to the President losing consciousness in the Oval Office is to carry on as though he were a particularly demanding houseplant.

Congrats to @Rob_Oliphant for taking a stand for Toronto. Will other MPs join him and stop the jet port nightmare before a proposal comes from the Toronto Port Authority? #NoJetsTO #Cdnpoli #TOPoli

Somebody is not telling the truth.
Ford says, "The federal government is on board" with expanding the airport.

PM Carney says he "has not yet formed an opinion. "

I'm reluctant to believe Doug Ford, but if Carney hasn't formed an opinion, why Is he allowing Ford to forge ahead when airports are federal jurisdiction?

We’re all supposed to pretend this isn’t happening a lot?

How does this make us look to the rest of the world?

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

Community consultations are absolutely critical, but the choice facing the Prime Minister is clear. Premier Ford is in the middle of a land grab, and the federal government has both the power and the responsibility to stop this irresponsible and anti-democratic move.

The fact that Doug Ford seized the land from the City of Toronto in order to ram through a project owned and operated by American banking giant JP Morgan tells you all you need to know about who will benefit from his plan.

Prime Minister Carney ran on a promise to protect Canadians from Donald Trump and stand up for Canadian sovereignty. He cannot sit on the fence while Doug Ford hands more power to Wall Street.

Like Ontario Place, the Science Centre, and so much more, Doug Ford is acting as though Toronto is a playground for him and his CEO friends. It isn't. Toronto belongs to the people, and the people don't need or want the jets, noise, traffic, and pollution that this massive expansion would bring.

Right! And we are all brainwashed to think it’s something to aspire to. I know this is old but the difference between one million and one billion is so vast I think people can’t comprehend it. One million seconds equals is 11.5 days. One billion seconds is 31.7 Years. And Elon is about to be a trillionaire. That would be 31,700 years. Now do the math in dollars. And the fact is that no one in the history of the world has ever attained that wealth by any other means then some form of domination over others. I do not begrudge financial success, but I do have a real problem when the the top 0.1% (130,000 families) hold 6 times the wealth as the bottom 66 million households combined. Put another way 905 individuals in America have twice the wealth of the entire bottom half of the country- 165,000,000 people. And it wasn’t always this way. The top 0.1 percent’s share of the U.S. wealth pie has grown 59.6 percent since just 1989.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

For the first time since 2024, the House passes bipartisan legislation to send billions of dollars in new security assistance to help our democratic ally Ukraine fight against Putin’s bloody illegal war and imperial aggression. Let’s stand strong for democracy and freedom against the oligarchs and authoritarians.

‼️BACON: Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night with ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles, and we better be there to help them, or in the history books it's gonna say, "United States failed when it's most needed."

“Are we gonna stand with good, or are we gonna stand with evil? That's what this is about tonight. Ukraine is a democracy, it's a free market, it's rule of law. It's been invaded by a dictator who throws his enemies off of roofs, poisons his adversaries, and he attacked his neighbor that's four times smaller than Russia. What's the goal? To eliminate their independence, to eliminate them as a culture, as a people, 'cause he wants to control those old borders of his that he has had. We gotta stand for the good side tonight. What does this bill do? It provides $1.3 billion in direct military aid, and $8 billion in military sales, and provides tough sanctions on Russia. We should have done this a year ago. We could have done this in a bipartisan way year ago, but we have not. This decision is needed now. Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night with ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles, and we better be there to help them, or in the history books it's gonna say, "United States failed when it's most needed." And I know this, I want this House to stand on the right side. I want Republicans to stand where Ronald Reagan would be if he was here right now. Ronald Reagan would be voting yes tonight. He'd be standing up for Ukraine and opposing Russia. This is our Churchill moment or our Chamberlain moment, and by God, I'm gonna choose Churchill, and this House better choose Churchill tonight. With that, I yield” - @RepDonBacon on Thursday, June 4th, 2026

Then in 2022, Aughinish Alumina was given €2.1 million in public funding to treat the 'red mud' waste product site. Seriously, what the hell is going on?

The Irish public subsidized the Russian Aluminium industry after Russia invaded Ukraine. This is appalling!

Irish politicians are avoiding questions about Aughinish. Patrick O’Donovan refuses to answer my calls. The refinery is in his constituency

He says the Russian owned plant is not connected to Russia’s war machine, without showing evidence. They want this to blow over. It won’t
