Planet Earth - Don't Treat It Like Dirt.

Is the war about to end again today yet?

Apple TV MLB broadcasts suck.

NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss:

"Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes.

Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over.

In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and “restructuring” to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom.

Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 Minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it.

The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not. If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like 60 Minutes but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters.

To my colleagues, who became family - working beside you has been the privilege of a lifetime. You are second to none. I’ve learned exactly what it costs to hold the line right now. Hold it anyway. Viewers and the people who trust us with their stories deserve nothing less."

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

What a disgrace.

This is blasphemy. This is what it sounds like to take Jesus’ name in vain.

@MarkWoodleyTV WTF?

[Chris Christie @GovChristie]

I knew and worked with Bob Mueller. I didn’t always agree with him, but he was a Patriot who never said no to his country’s call for service. To speak this way about any veteran is reprehensible; especially so when you are the Commander-in-Chief. Shame on the President.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

The most important Oscar speech tonight wasn’t about film.

The director of “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” just said this from the stage:

“You lose your country through countless small acts of complicity. When we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets. When oligarchs take over the media and control how we produce and consume it. We all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think.”

He was talking about Russia.

The audience knew he was talking about America too.
Elon Musk owns the platform you’re reading this on.

David Ellison is buying CNN — Pete Hegseth said it will be “far better” when he does.

The DOGE deposition videos were removed from YouTube.

The Epstein files are sealed.
The Pentagon won’t release a casualty count.
Countless small acts of complicity.

That’s how you lose it.
A nobody is more powerful than you think.

Never stop connecting the dots.

The first rule of learning is to admit you don’t know. The second rule is to never stop asking why.

Police don’t wear masks. State troopers don’t wear masks. The National Guard doesn’t wear masks. But you know who does?

White supremacists, militia groups, insurrectionists, and ICE.
