Democrats just forced a vote to put an end to Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund.
Every House Republican rejected it & voted to support your tax dollars going to cop beaters & right wing extremists. Despicable.
Dan Rather's right. Every story run by CBS and Bari Weiss next fall should have an asterisk superimposed: "This story was approved by Donald Trump." When a fascist authoritarian regime's in charge of what the American people should know, the country has gone full banana republic.
Thank God she’s still with us. This why we still doing the work! 🫶🏾

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
🚨 HEARTBREAKING: Scott Pelley Sounded Like A Man Attending A Funeral.
Not for a person.
For a profession.
🔥 That’s why his defense of journalism hit so hard.
Scott Pelley confirmed on the record that CBS management ordered him to “inject falsehoods” into 60 Minutes coverage.
He named Bari Weiss directly. He said she was brought in to neutralize independent journalism inside the network.
He told 60 Minutes’ new leadership she was “murdering the show.”
Pelley spent 24 years at CBS News.
He just put his name on the record against the institution that built his career.
The Paramount-Skydance merger closed.
The new ownership installed Weiss. Pelley is the most senior on-air voice at CBS News describing what’s happening inside.
This is what institutional capture sounds like from inside the institution.
Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”
Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.
