Pete Hegseth just removed 7 Navy officers from the service's one-star promotion list. One was reportedly singled out after her name appeared on a website identifying "woke" service members, for serving as a "diversity liaison" two decades earlier. That's not merit. It's a purge.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

The Revolt Inside 60 Minutes Just Got Worse.

Legendary correspondent Steve Kroft is now accusing CBS leadership of "journalistic interference."

His verdict?

"It was a slap in the face to everybody who has worked there."

Notice the pattern.

Scott Pelley says he was stonewalled.

Sharon Alfonsi says Pelley was fired for asking questions.

Now Steve Kroft says management is interfering with journalism.

At some point, this stops looking like a personnel dispute.

And starts looking like a newsroom rebellion.

In other words, Trump just wasted a bunch of our money on a vanity project while Americans are struggling to make ends meet.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Trump is lying about California again — time to take the phone away from grandpa and put him to sleep.

[Xavier Becerra @XavierBecerra]

Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. He lost California by millions of votes in the 2024 election, and now he's trying to undermine confidence in our elections because he’s a repeat loser here.

Sorry Donald, the voters decide who leads California. Not you.

[Larry @Lfunguscal]

Steve Hilton running for Governor of California has only been a US citizen for 4 or 5 years, Meanwhile ICE is deporting many who have been here for 20 years. Many are US citizens. Be pissed!

"AND YOU STILL HAVE THE NERVE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH..."

Too sharp not to share.

This Australian's response to Trump's rant that "NATO doesn't exist for America" is perfect:

"Mate,

You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.

A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.

A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.

A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.

A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.

You imprison more of your own citizens than any other country on Earth.

More than China.

More than Russia.

More than North Korea.

In the land of the free, 2 million people are held in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything.

They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is falling. You're the only developed country where that's happening.

Your infant mortality rate is higher than Cuba's.

Your children practice active-shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell gun stocks to your friends.

Your minimum wage hasn't changed in 15 years...

You have teachers working two jobs, veterans sleeping under bridges, and you've just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.

And a convicted criminal, found liable in a rape case, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and leading the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban, thanks you for yet another failure.

And you're calling Greenland poorly governed?

Greenland has universal healthcare.

Free education.

One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.

Nobody goes bankrupt because they got sick.

Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance company said no.

'NATO wasn't there when we needed them.'

When exactly was that, champ?

September 11?

Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history for you.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan for you.

Australia wasn't even in NATO, and we still showed up.

For twenty years.

And then you left at two in the morning without telling anyone and left them to clean up the mess.

You don't care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend. You haven't shown it a shred of sympathy.

So maybe, before you start calling other countries poorly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum-siding salesman with a spray tan.

The only thing being poorly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.

And you still have the nerve to lecture everyone else?"

[KT "Special MI6 Operation" @KremlinTrolls]

What is extremely disturbing is that not one reporter in that room had the guts to tell Trump that the Reflective Pool is simply a pool of water and isn't comparable to a building's height.

It's the most insane nonsense he drummed up AND HE PUT IT ON A BOARD to show everyone how DUMB he is.

The world looks on at the @POTUS demeaning himself in public like a clown. Sad.

[Hunter Boone @HunterBoone]

reminder that bari weiss quit in shame at @nytimes because my team called her out for being A LIAR

[Matt Walton, M.Ed @Matt4VA]

Trump again insulted @kaitlancollins in the Oval Office today.

Enough is enough...

I'M CALLING FOR A BOYCOTT. IT'S TIME FOR ALL MEDIA TO STOP COVERING TRUMP!

[CHIPLE, CHULA Y CABRONA💛🐝 @Chicanatravels]

Hunter out here given BIG DICK energy and I absolutely am here for it. HE IS WHO HE THINKS HE IS. 🥰 👏🏽

[Popular Liberal 🇺🇸 @PopularLiberal]

WOW! "BuT cAlIfOrNiA iS tUrNiNg ReD" — meanwhile Steve Hilton is getting outrun by TWO Democrats in the same race. Tom Steyer is about to make him the first Trump lackey to get lapped on his own home turf.

Keep dreaming, MAGA. 👀

🚨BREAKING: In a HUGE blow to Donald Trump, the House has PASSED the War Powers Resolution - 215-208 - which will require Congress’ say over the Iran War.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Massie almost connected the dots.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Pay attention.

Late last night the Trump-packed Supreme Court issued an UNSIGNED order to help Republicans erase Black voters and keep a congressional seat.

The Court's legitimacy is earned and they are burning it to the ground.

MAGA is rigging our democracy in real time!

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”

[Ben Mullin @BenMullin]

Scott Pelley just issued a statement on Bari's remarks this morning:

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.
