Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“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.”

Yesterday’s hail storm and flash flooding created some dangerous conditions across our city.
For one woman, a routine drive to work quickly turned into an emergency when she unknowingly drove into floodwaters near 6th and Sable.
Thankfully we were nearby, ready to help.
Officers safely rescued the driver, ensured she was unharmed, and even gave her a ride home.
Moments like these are a reminder that floodwaters can be unpredictable and dangerous. If you encounter water covering a roadway, turn around and find an alternate route.
Aurora, we're here for you when the unexpected happens. Keeping our community safe is and always will be our top priority.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.
