Looks like somebody has ADS: Acosta Derangement Syndrome.

There is nothing left of the Justice Department I worked at.

Fourteen of the 27 known corporate donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion during the past six months, according to a report.

Though I am also told that David Ellison had personally promised editorial independence to the 60 Minutes team upon taking over the company last summer, and three prominent correspondents obviously have alleged that didn’t happen…

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

@Acosta Why is it that I feel the sudden urge to throw a party?

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

Breaking: Kennedy Center staff is now being ordered to remove Trump’s name from the building. The removal of his name could happen within hours or days. As I found earlier today, his name is even on the center’s buses.

The President of the United States has discovered that a pool can be longer than a skyscraper is tall.

We live in the dumbest timeline.

Love @chefjoseandres !!!

[Tom Sietsema @tomsietsema]

The DC launch of “Spain My Way” by @chefjoseandres at the Lincoln Theater was a blast. I shared a ham-and-olive-stocked green room with news ace @Acosta, got to meet Sonia Sotomayor, and *tried* to make liquid green olives on stage with the star of the show. (Not so easy!) Great crowd. Congrats, Chef!

Jan 6 was an insurrection, fueled by Trump’s social media posts—“Will be wild”—and rally on the ellipse that morning.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Some guy named Nick Bilton serving an audience of 1 (Bari) service an audience of 1 (Ellison) serving an audience of 1 (Trump). This is how oligarch-authoritarian takeover of media happens

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

When 60 Minutes is in trouble, we are all in trouble. When Pelley says CBS is meddling in his reporting for political reasons, believe it. https://t.co/lWpjdv1Unm

[Jeremy Barr @jeremymbarr]

NEW: Bari Weiss just addressed the termination of Scott Pelley on the network's morning call just now.

Weiss: "I know I speak for myself, and I hope I speak for everyone here when I say that I'm only interested in working in a newsroom that is built on trust and mutual respect. We cannot do our work without it. That foundation was broken on Monday, and despite our attempts to engage with Scott Pelley and to find a way back, unfortunately we weren't able to do so, and so we had to part ways.

We did not want that to happen, but that's the path that he chose. That unfortunate outcome does not discount from the amazing contributions and work that Scott Pelley has done for CBS and for 60 Minutes over the course of his career."

She then listed some of his stories from the past season and called them "unforgettable stories."

[Natalie Korach @NatalieKorach]

Statement from Pelley:

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

When I called out Trump years ago for being a danger to democracy, a free press, and truth itself, I was accused of making myself the story and showboating. How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!

Here’s Fuckface going full Hitler, calling the press the “enemy of the people” because he’s a miserable fucking failure & gets all butthurt if anyone asks a real question. But the child-raping sack of shit’s got it all wrong. HE is the enemy of the people.
