Nevada @SenCortezMasto has signed on to a bill to ensure Cold War vets who served in classified areas are able to get health benefits for illnesses connected to their service. MORE:

@MrRightKno4035 Since you don't write for a living, you should know that a comma precedes direct address, as in "I don't write for a living, douchebag." Also, you should know that U.S. has periods. And since "it's" is a contraction meaning "it is," it's incorrect to say "it's is."

Arrogance + inexperience + insecurity = bad bosses.

Scott Pelley just issued a statement on Bari's remarks this morning:

[Steve Sebelius @SteveSebelius]

@Quirk22 Might do well to consider the substance of what Pelley said independent of your feelings about him. “When the finger points at the moon, the idiot looks at the finger.”

@MrRightKno4035 And so you’re writing!

@PoliXpert @AdrianaForNV @DannyTarkanian “Manage his own wife.” Did you just time travel here from the 1950s?

[Steve Sebelius @SteveSebelius]

President Trump endorsing @AdrianaForNV in the Republican primary for AG even as rival @DannyTarkanian is running ads suggesting a Trump endorsement is the most Trump thing ever. But at least the president and the governor are on the same page this time!

@ChuckMuth @SettelmeyerNV That's OK! Mayo never goes bad.

@intheairnevada I assume you were directing that comment to Scott Pelley and not to me, right?

“60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley has been fired by the show’s new executive producer after Pelley criticized him and CBS Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss during an introductory meeting.

Some good suggestions here.

[Thomas Berry @Thomas_A_Berry]

The appointment of an acting director of national intelligence with no national intelligence experience highlights two flaws in the Vacancies Act:

First, anyone serving in a Senate-confirmed position across the entire federal government is statutorily eligible to serve as an acting officer in any office. That pool of eligibility is too broad; Congress should narrow it to only Senate-confirmed officials within the same department or agency, who are much more likely to have the relevant experience.

Second, many positions have statutory qualification requirements based on experience or education, but these requirements most likely don't apply to actings. The National Security Act requires that a Senate-confirmed DNI must have national security experience, yet a non-Senate confirmed acting DNI can have none. The Vacancies Act should be clarified so that statutory qualifications for an office also apply to acting officers.

@MooreMonty I wouldn’t know about that part.

[Steve Sebelius @SteveSebelius]

Take it from somebody who knows: Sometimes you just have to call it like it is, and let the chips fall. In the long run, it’s better than working for people who you simply can’t respect.

[Steve Sebelius @SteveSebelius]

@LVNRGHT You seem nice and articulate.

[Steve Sebelius @SteveSebelius]

In any other timeline, news that the president would not move forward with a settlement fund that could have compensated violent insurrectionists who assaulted police officers at the U.S. Capitol would be unremarkable, but we don't live in that timeline.

@DrewForNevada Totally.

[Steve Sebelius @SteveSebelius]

Always impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of Clark County election workers and volunteers. The election could not happen without them! Thanks to all for their service to democracy.

[Steve Sebelius @SteveSebelius]

Government ownership of companies! That's socialism! Who could even think of something like this ... besides President Trump, I mean.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.

This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

[Steve Sebelius @SteveSebelius]

Scott Pelley FTW.
