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."

Last night, I had the easiest and the hardest job.

Easiest, because I got to talk about the person I love and admire most.

Hardest because a few minutes will never be enough.

Love you @DawnFlytheMoore ♥️

Angel Reese made WNBA history in her Atlanta Dream debut, becoming the fastest player to reach 50 career double-doubles in just 65 games! Even under pressure, Angel continues to show the world the power, confidence, and resilience of Black women athletes!

I first met Clark Reynolds when he was just three years old at our Black History Month reception at the White House.

Over the last ten years, it's been wonderful getting updates about his life through his letters. Check out how he’s doing now:

🩺 History was made at Johns Hopkins Hospital as five Black surgical residents became the first all-Black team to lead its Trauma & Acute Care Surgery service. Congratulations to Doctors Valentine Alia, Lawrence Brown, Ivy Mannoh, Zachary Enumah, and Ifeoluwa Shoyombo. This is BLACK EXCELLENCE at its finest and a powerful reminder of what becomes possible when doors are opened! ✊🏿

Today, we honor the life and legacy of the great John Lewis. 🕊️

A servant leader.
A freedom fighter.
A reminder for us to get into good trouble – necessary trouble – for the sake of justice.

His legacy lives on in us all, and we must honor him by doing the work.

When a brand says ‘looks perfect’ on the first draft… I start looking at beachfront property.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

This is coming from a place of love and support, but…

It’s ‘shoo-in,’ not ‘shoe-in.’

It’s ‘case in point,’ not ‘case and point.’

It’s ‘moot point,’ not ‘mute point.’

It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’

It’s ‘jibe with,' not 'jive with.'

[Melissa Knowles | TEDx Speaker + UGC Creator @Knowlesitall]

This one was about clarity and comfort.
Loved how this LaserAway moment balanced education with ease.
