It's D Day. 4,427 Allied soldiers died today so that generations not even born, like mine, could grow up in freedom. See more at https://t.co/EEg00P06y6
Some 7000 vessels involved in the D Day landings now crowd the English Channel. Pilots look down in awe as they glimpse a vast armada through gaps in clouds. See more at Substack. https://t.co/EEg00P0EnE
Righteous warriors gather now for a group photo before boarding the C-47 behind them. They are the very first Americans to see combat on the ground on D Day. Pathfinders from the 502nd PIR. Stick One. Plane One. Courage counts.
“If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."
Eisenhower was prepared to accept complete responsibility for a failed landing at Normandy.
This kind of leadership is a rarity.
NEW: Backstory on the drama at CBS News tonight...
Bari Weiss, Nick Bilton, Tom Cibrowski, and CBS HR invited Scott Pelley to a meeting at 5pm ET tonight to discuss a path forward after his vocal protest earlier this week in the 60 Minutes all-hands.
The two sides did not find common ground. Bari & Co. were left with sense that Scott was not open minded about reaching detente; meanwhile, Scott maintained strong frustrations with leadership.
Scott left meeting and was told they'd have an update on his employment in a matter of minutes... instead, Bari and her team deliberated for several hours.
At around 9:30 p.m., Nick Bilton, the new 60 Minutes E.P., sent this letter to Scott (see tweet below) in which he tells him he has been terminated "for cause." He also sent a memo to staff (see tweet below that).
The language in Nick's memo suggests a legal fight coming. No response yet from Pelley.
Absolutely wild.
Also if your campaign isn't communicating with a wide audience and is assuming a small crew of folks who vote in every primary will get you a win... you've missed the moment.

Bombshell: The #Browns are finalizing a trade of Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the #Rams in a shocker, sources tell me, @TomPelissero & @AdamSchefter.
Cleveland would send Garrett to LA in exchange for star edge Jared Verse, a first-rounder, and more.
It’s the economy, stupid.
If SC Dems want to expand the tent and win big in South Carolina, we need to talk about groceries, rent, insurance, wages, and people’s pocketbooks.
Stay focused.
-Own the freedom message; current state house loves being a nanny state.
-Talk kitchen-table economics.
-Stay out of the bathrooms.
@jmart Seats in elected office belong to citizens not officeholders. This mentality is everywhere in media & worse still in capitol buildings across America. While I have great respect & admiration for Rep. Clyburn this battle was fought & won for citizens. Reporters, please do better.
By noon, more than 26,000 people had voted, surpassing the highest single-day early voting turnout ever recorded for a primary election in South Carolina.
By 3 p.m., an estimated 44,600 ballots had been cast.
The previous record was 23,000 primary ballots cast in 2024. #scpol
In a big win for Democrats, a federal court blocked an Alabama map that would have eliminated a Black-majority congressional seat https://t.co/fOyQMCPGMA
Want to help stop this last-second redistricting mess?
Vote early Tuesday morning.
Early voting opens May 26 at 8:30 AM.
The Senate cannot reconvene until 11 AM. Break early turnout records before they try to cancel congressional primaries.
MAKE THIS VIRAL! 🚨‼️🔔 The Trump Congressional Redistricting map they’ve been forcing on us in SC includes IMAGINARY VOTING PRECINCTS THAT DON’T EVEN EXIST. 🫨🫨🫨 And the Republican Supermajority in the House voted for it. HOW SWAY!!! 🤔 THERE’S A RIGHT WAY TO DO THINGS…AND THEN THERE’S THIS WAY. ☠️🤦🏽♂️🇺🇸
