The bad moment in question:

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

We found the voter fraud.

I love $COST by far my #1 stock holding, while I’m thrilled to she the shoppers this is CRAZY … the line at 10:15 to check out in #Henderson NV @Costco you must do better to move customers out of the store 💸

LIE. I was there. They were walking through the building, destroying property, spreading feces on the walls, stealing things, rioting and threatening to kill the Vice President. But other than that . . .

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

If you think they’re going to accept the results in November if they lose, you’re not fucking paying attention.

Russia and the U.S. will play a hockey game on July 1st in Moscow. This is humiliating and disgraceful. Any U.S. hockey player that attends this barbaric sportswashing of Russian genocide should be canceled and shunned for life. Let’s start exposing them.

Wow 😮… was watching the ‘chase’ from Duluth, Minnesota where I was getting set to run in @GrandmasMara … now I can maybe run 🏃‍♂️ around the block 🤔

The last time the Knicks had a lead in the NBA Finals was June 17th, 1994.

Yes, the same day as this:

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

BREAKING: Senate Republicans have just begun a marathon vote-a-rama in the Senate.

Why? Not to lower health care or housing costs. Instead, they are fighting tooth & nail to give ICE another $70 billion blank check with ZERO reforms.

A disgrace.

The federal government just banned bison from public land in Montana.

Not cattle.

Bison.

Interior Secretary Burgum revoked grazing permits for 950 bison
on 63,000 acres of federal land in northeastern Montana.

The reason?

Bison raised for conservation don't count as livestock
under a 1934 law.

Bison raised for meat and milk? Fine.

Bison raised to restore a native species to its native land? Get out.

Meanwhile, cattle ranchers across the West keep grazing on your land.

For $1.69 a month.

One cow. One calf. Thirty days. $1.69.

On land that belongs to every American.

The Cheyenne River Sioux. The Coalition of Large Tribes —
50+ Native nations. Defenders of Wildlife.

They all filed formal protests.

They called it exactly what it is.

"DEI for cows."

The bison have until September 30 to be gone.

Who decided cattle belong on public land more than bison do?

This is the latest Trump corruption to push back on.

He's gotten the attorney general to exempt him from the tax laws that govern everyone else—including other presidents.

Bill and I released 30+ years of tax returns and were audited a few times! https://t.co/6JiiVjIv3F

[Kirk Clyatt @Clyatt]

mmm … now this is interesting. I just noticed today I have a blue check mark. I did nothing to get a blue check mark, certainly did not pay for it, but I guess it's a good thing, as I picked up some new followers, so thanks ‘X’, I guess 🤔

Every time the shadow docket has touched a contested map, the outcome favors Republicans.

Texas gerrymander: allowed.

New York Democratic flip: blocked.

Louisiana: VRA gutted.

Virginia Democratic map: refused to save it.

Alabama: a Black district erased.

Same direction every time.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

Mr Witkoff has gone to Moscow eight times to negotiate peace… zero times to Ukraine. Most Americans know this is not right. Don’t pretend to be neutral when the facts are obvious. Can we get someone serious in the position to do this right?

[Isaiah Martin @isaiahrmartin]

The Supreme Court’s decision to get rid of an Alabama blue seat in Congress tonight makes it more pertinent than ever that blue states must fight fire with fire. Colorado, NY, Oregon, and others must wipe out red seats to ensure constitutional compliance and fair representation.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

WAKE UP, AMERICA.

The Supreme Court majority just admitted it’s a PARTISAN operator willing to TORCH the rule of law to advance its ideological agenda.

In an unprecedented move with a brief UNSIGNED order, it: 1) IGNORED the central basis of the lower court’s decision, 2) DISREGARDED its own precedent (that it had assured just weeks ago remained good law), and 3) REWARDED Alabama's defiance of a federal court order.

All to help Republicans squeeze out one more seat in the midterms. And on Election Day for millions of Americans no less!

This is sick.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

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.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Ossoff on SCOTUS Alabama ruling: 61 years after President Johnson signed the voting rights act, as if they'd been lying in wait since the ink from his pen dried, as soon as section two of the VRA was eviscerated, they've leapt into action to try to remove Black elected officials, not by defeating them at the polls, but by manipulating maps to dilute minority power. 

But the fact that they're launching these attacks in the American south, the fact that they launched that ballot raid in Fulton county is awakening in people a determination to vote like they have never voted before, to rebuke these abuses and defend voting rights
