@Buccigross Take the voting away from them. This is egregious.

[Michael Russo @RussoHockey]

If it’s true, as @FriedgeHNIC reports, that 40 broadcasters didn’t return ballots for the Jack Adams, the NHL needs to take that honor away from the broadcaster’s association. That’s absolutely egregious when only 99 voted.

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.

Erin Brockovich has launched a website and has begun tracking all data centers in America and logging resident complaints

In just 1 week it’s already logged 1,690 resident complaints

For this who don’t remember

Erin Brockovich was the paralegal responsible for winning out a case against PG&E, Hinckley in California, because their wastewater runoff was seeping into rural areas and creating a lot of health issues for, for the surrounding neighborhoods

That case brought in a $333 million settlement that went to the families affected by the situation because a lot of them either had staggering medical bills due to their tap water was no longer safe

So why is this important, well residents all over America are reporting their tap water and river water is being heavily polluted by data centers

Her map of data centers is new, she just launched it

The website features an interactive US map showing operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, overlaid with community-reported complaints

Residents can submit reports with details, photos, and locations. Within days of launch, it received a surge of submissions over 1,600 in the first week, and reports of 1,800+ from 47 states shortly after

Common Resident Complaints Being Logged

- Water usage
- Raising utility bills for residents
- Noise pollution: Constant 24/7 humming from fans, generators, and cooling systems disrupting sleep, daily life, and wildlife.
- E-waste from frequent hardware upgrades, pollution including PFAS concerns

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

In ‘Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?,’ the last book he released before he was assassinated, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. warned humanity about “destroying ourselves in the misuse of our own instruments.”

And here we are.

We can still choose better for humankind and for the earth.

The boomer generation will stop at nothing until our country is fully raped and destroyed.

A steady diet of Fox News, Facebook memes, and megachurch sermons brought us here.

Truly a disgrace

Any DOJ settlement that gives the President a dollar -- or a direct material benefit -- is a flagrant violation of the Presidential Emoluments Clause:

"The President shall not receive ... any other Emolument from the United States, or any of [the states]." Art II, S.1, cl. 7.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

Here is the written order for ethnic cleansing made public by Israel. No pretense. No hiding. Just evidence of high war crimes.

[Jessiah @thepondering_]

CNN also reports that this settlement also forces the IRS to end any active audits into Trump, his family, and his businesses

Not only does it further protect POTUS from accountability, but he's expanding this shield to Don Jr. and Eric and Ivanka and Jared and their interests

Mark Ruffalo just called out CBS for platforming Netanyahu.

'They brought a war criminal on 60 Minutes. He would never have been on outside this regime. We're watching the degradation of journalism through political pressure'

Your reminder that Lara Trump stole money from rescue puppies and Eric Trump stole money from kids with cancer - because plastic surgery doesn’t come cheap.
